What?  I answered the question.  I haven't played a MGS game I liked yet so I don't have a reason to get excited for this one.  If my buddies like it I might get it for cheap (or perhaps borrow it) if I don't have anything else to play.

I don't fit in any. I am thinking of getting it, but I have to play through the 1st three and see how into it I get.

hopefully ill trade in my 80 gig, controller, and some more ps2 stuff and buy the bundle pack but if not i might eventually

You're in the Sony forum and you're doubting the brilliance of one of the Sony sacred cows.

Don't feel bad. I really liked MGS but absolutely loathed 2 & 3. Those games are the reason why I'm not buying MGS4 on launch day. 

1, 2 & 3 for me, and I speak for about 6 friends of mine as well :D Theyve been waiting a long time for this day :)

#3-I've been on the fence for a while on whether I should get a PS3 and this was the dealmaker.

I don't plan on buying the game, i tried to get into the series a couple times but the game is just too boring for me, all the codec crap and the constant videos drove me away from MGS3. I also found the controls and camera to be very bad. But the game does look pretty good.

Probably not. The ONLY Metal Gear game I actually enjoyed was the original. I mean the one without 'Solid' attached to the title. I've seen nothing from MGS4 that makes me think I'll enjoy it any more than the previous Solid titles.

my favorite game....bought a playstation 3 on lauch day becuase of metal gear solid. Will be getting this launch second. Hopefully ebgames will have a nice midnight release....(:

Somewhere between 4 and 5. If the reviews are great (I'm talking 9/10) then I might check it out. The reason it would be a 5 is not cause I hate the series, but cause I've never played the series so I'd be confused as a penguin in the sahara.
