Stuff like that just screws up the cover art. In my opinion there should be nothing but the cover art taking up the whole front of the case.

Cause it's gonna get ported to the 360 and Wii. Kojima even said so himself. Also by law if no game has the 'Only on Playstation' logo, that means it's going to get ported to another system. Say bye bye to Uncharted, Rachet and Clank, Resistance 1, and all those other games.

It says it during installation.

And that part on shadow moses where Otacon tells you to change disks then remembers you that your playing on a PS3 and a disk switch is not necessary because of the storage a blu ray disk provides.

that's because sony didn't put that sign on their ps3 exclusives back then, hence why R2 has it and uncharted does not, for example.

umm that has nothing to do with it not being ported he made that statement because thats the exact spot you change discs at on MGS1

Cause everyone knows MGS4 will be a multiplat. game by the end of 2009... Kidding. The only reason why it doesn't say that on the cover is because they haven't introduced it. But i'm sure when MGS4 becomes a greatest hits, it will have it on the front.

Actually, the first game to hold the PS exclusive label was Socom: Confrontation. That was back in early October 08'

Not sure, Sony is pretty inconsistent when it comes to that.

I admit it would be cool if it said that, since I like the idea of Sony labelling their exclusives as exclusives, but imagine how much it would suck if MGS went to 360, it would make the "Only on Sony" brand look horrible.

Here's a better question: How come it says "Metal Gear Solid 4" instead of "Metal Gear Solid IV?"

Maybe change the cover into Otacon image and put his quote "We're on Playstation 3" with middle finger adjusting his spectacles, left hand holding DS3 and smirking. Oh... put Metal Gear Mark II holding PSP. Would that be enough?

Yeah exactly. Around the time MGS4 came out they didn't even have that on any of the exclusive covers. PS1 didn't have it neither did PS2. Sony just started doing that.

I don't think they were doing that back then..

Uncharted doesn't have it either, right?

Yes, it is for design. Look at the # 4. I think that I saw it one time when there was a trailer that the title METAL would slide down the #4 with the "L"s and appear as METALGEARSOLID4.

Hold on. Who are YOU trying to get smart with?! I NEVER said Bioshock was an exclusive. The poster said it would suck if MGS4 had "Only on Sony" on the cover then went to the 360. I just used an example of when Bioshock first came out it had "Only Xbox 360 and Windows" and then it went multi. See below, genius:roll:
