HMV taking MGS4 X360 Pre-Orders

Interesting... the xbox 360 version says it contains only one disc but according to Kojima if I remember right the game will be around 20gb. How can 20gb fit on one dvd?

One thing people are forgetting about this gen and last gen consoles, the Ps3 is more powerful not only with hardware specs but also disc size and other things. It was much easier to port last gen from PS2 to Xbox because the Xbox was more powerful in every way. The fact is MGS4 is built on PS3 hardware, designed to fit on a Blu-ray disc and the MGS movie is being made by Sony pictures. I just don't see MGS4 being ported to xbox 360 this time. Hideo Kojima even said he wanted to keep this last game in the series onthe PS3.

Fanboyism much?.. lol.. I would have to say I still lean towards microsoft atm but I still like sony, but there hardware is hardly that much ahead of the 360, on paper it might look it but in all honesty there very close.. I think i'll just wait and see, I personally will be getting it for PS3 because it was made for it and I need some games for it.. :) ..but if it does go multi-platform all I can say is poor sony =(

I wish they would just come out and say yes or no. I'm on the verge of getting a PS3 for blu ray and for MGS4, but if the game does come out for the 360 I won't be getting a PS3. Kuruuze

they have said no several times in interviews and even stated that some parts the 360 could not handle and they dont want to have to lower it down to dvd quality or have to put it on several discs, just xbox fanboys can't take it and keep starting rumours

Put yourself in their shoes for a minute, you spent millions making a game looking to make a profit out of it. Are you gonna limit yourself to an audience of 4 million? a scenario where 75% of that audience would have to buy your game so you just break even? Or spent a little more and port it to a 11million audience? Thats 15 million POTENTIAL customer vs 4. No brainer, unless Sony offered to buy 3-4 million copies themselves to make up for it.

lol you have no idea what its like to be in their shoes, ps3 already at 4.5mil and will be a lot higher by the time that game comes out and its not like xbox360 has a 11mil console base audience to buy the game, sure they may have sold 11 mil consoles but theres probably only 7 or 8 mil working 360s out there. Porting a games does cost less than making from scratch but it still cost a lot of money and takes a lot of time

hardly much ahead? yeah right, its just currently hard with the current dev tools and such to actually utilize all the hardware much at all

Yeh, Kojima even requested the use of the of Sony's second generation Blu-Ray disc because the standard game disc's 25GB wasn't enough space for the game :P

Hope it's true. If this and Final Fantasy 13 make it to 360 i'm happy with 360 4ever.
