It's more of an inconvenience really to have your PSN account (being a good way to play your games online) and then have to make a whole new KonamiID and GameID just to be able to play Metal Gear Online. I don't think they're offering anything for MGO other than the MGO store to try and hook you into buying a $7 character slot or expansion pack.
At least with MyResistance, (I believe) you had stats and forum access on their website. Not to mention the fact that the Resistance map packs are available from the PS Store.
I also haven't gotten the bitter taste of trying to register my KonamiID and GameID (and it taking 2 days and like 20-30 tries before it worked) out of my mouth.
