I was really hoping Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence would be available today at my local retailer (from whom I pre-ordered the limited edition). Unfortunately, I think I will need to wait for tomorrow. Disappointing, but true.

I have checked in with said retailer every week since the beginning of February to see if the Documentary disc had arrived. Thus far, they keep saying discs will only be given out on the day of release, with the pre-ordered game. That seems to be a break in the incentive's purpose. You give away a take-home for those who pre-order. . .

I have heard of some abuse of that tactic though. Many people, not interested in the game, pre-order to get the freebie, then cancel their order to get their money back. What subterfuge!

The MGS3:Subsistence video review was great. It felt a lot like On the Spot, but more focused on that one game. I'm interested in seeing if my two questions will be archived in the permanent review. It should be a trip to go back and listen to those questions after making prime use of the online gameplay. All-in-all, it only made me more excited for the game.

Since I haven't played MGS3 yet, I am hoping it will not disappoint . . .
