If you don't know why then you just need to play all of the others then when number four hits you'll be getting it as well. Or maybe you want another fps, or kiddie game. MGS 4 week = pulling a sickie

A large majority of my friends are huge MGS fans, none of which have a PS3 yet (including me).

When MGS3 came out, me and 5 of my friends got it day 1, we were all convieniently 'sick' and had to miss a week of college.

Games much more enjoyable, when you know you friends are playing them at the same time. it becomes a sort of 'race' to finish the game.

I am personally waiting to get a PS3 in the hope they re-introduce BC in the EU. However, no BC PS3 at MGS4 launch= i don't care, i will buy a PS3 anyway, and i know most of my friends will too.
