Forums - Sony Discussion - MGS4 Canadian Launch...

The gamestop store I went to at midnight had 30-32 people lining up and only 4 bundles... needless to say, the bundles sold out and left a few people empty handed. The store had no LE editions left and 2 MGS4 reg editions unsold.

I got one form Best buy downtown today. They got tonnes left...

I ordered one from Amazon for 20 bucks less...but don't wanna wait so I got another one, and will return the amazon one to best buy. How clever is that?

 not very, because they check the serial number?

@ameratsu. lol, it's not you fault, all bestbuys look exactly alike, it's their way of making customers easy to find their way around every store. (which I think is stupid). 


I worked best buy, staples, and HMV...I should be fine. ;)

Not too clever at all. Best Buy as well as most other retailers scan the bar code. You can only return the exact same unit you purchased.

Good job!



BAM! There it is!

I bought my copy of MGS4 in a small shop (I'm in Belgium) : they sold tenth of copies on the first day ! And that's a small place.

I was waiting for a good bundle to buy the PS3 but in Europe we did not get anything special with MGS4 (no 80 Go model, no Dualshock 3). So I bought the GTA4 bundle a few days ago, a high def television and I ordered a Dualshock 3 on the internet...

And now I'm enjoying my PS3 : it absolutely rocks ! MGS4 is simply HUGE

LOL. Thanks for the warning though...lets just say that I won't have to scan my copy to have it taken back.



My god sales could be huge.....keep buying people! If anybody in Worksop had any money (and if those who did stopped spending it on drugs) i would be forcing them to buy this game!



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD
