So you know all of these countdowns? Well, according to a website called Kotaku, they've looked over the source code via Flash, and it looks like what most of us have assumed.

• It appears that the current countdown is one of but 5 countdowns running over the site for the next few weeks. The most intresting thing about it is that the countdown ends on June 1st, AKA the day of Microsoft's E3 Press Confrence, but more importantly, not on Sony's.
• The site's search terms are, Hideo Kojima, MGS, Metal Gear, next, game, konami, kojima game, KJP, Kojima production. Most importantly and most intresting, if those are the search terms, none of them are MGS5.

So yes, it appears the countdowns WILL END eventually end. What will happen? Time will tell, probably at the Microsoft Press Confrence. Till then, enjoy it while it lasts.
