Preordering Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of The Patriots

PS3 has been lambasted for deficiency of good games that can truly utilize the overly powerful specification of PS3. While some of the PS3 owners lament the fact that some of the killer games are going multiplatform like the recent Grand Theft Auto 4, a lot of them only treat PS3 as a mere blu ray player(well, it is still one of the cheapest Blu Ray player in the market now) because lack of quality games. The rest will just adapt the "wait and see" attitude before jumping the bandwagon as we know the console is currently the most expensive among the 3 next gen consoles.

Well, I think that is going to change in a few days. There are 7 days to go before Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of The Patriots is released for PS3(12 June 2008). Undoubtedly, Metal Gear Solid 4 is one of the 2008 killer games for PS3. It is surely one of the highly anticipated PS3 games that the owners have been waiting for. For the rest, this is the sole reason they will just go out and get themselves the spanking new PS3 consoles.

I myself am pretty excited for this game too even if I have yet to own a PS3(oh well, I am not too keen to get myself a home console yet). I played the first Metal Gear Solid and I was pretty hooked up by the unique gameplay and later I also managed to complete the GBC version of Metal Gear Solid. It seems like Snake has aged well throughout the series and in the latest iteration he is already an old man(well, no pun intended). And also note that this shall be the last game in the Metal Gear Solid series that will be helmed by Kojima, so Kojima fans out there should not miss this masterpiece.

For those who are interested, you must be eager to preorder this game. Many prefer online sites like play asia or yesasia but for this game, I personally suggest you to get it from our local retailer, Djinn. Why would you say? Firstly you will stand a chance to win yourself a brand new 32 inch Samsung LCD TV if you preorder the game. Some may say"ah, I am not that lucky enough la" but well, if you just get it online, you will get nothing except the game but you wont lose anything if you preorder it from djinn and you dont manage to win anything. Well, there is always a chance for the great prizes if you preorder from him. Secondly, if you preorder one copy from him, Djinn will donate rm5 to the recent terrifying China earthquake victims. It may sound meager but you still manage to do something to help those victims. It is better than those who never donate at all. Thirdly, you can get the game on the official releasing date if not earlier. It seems like those who preorder can get it on 11th June according to this. If you preorder it from online sites and wish to get the game right after it is released, you have to pay for some shipping fee which in this case it doesnt matter as you just have to head to Gamer Hideout on 11th June. Lastly, you are supporting the local gaming industry if you preorder from Djinn. As we know, our local gaming industry cannot flourish due to the rampant piracy problems. But luckily gamers are getting more and more educated and they are trying their best to support original games now. Metal Gear Solid 3 is the biggest game of the year, so if you plan to get a pirated copy, shame on you(but if not mistaken, PS3 is still free from piracy problem, right?)

4 solid reasons enough to warrant a purchase from Djinn, so what are you waiting for if you are interested in this game?

Edited: Apparently there is an official launch for this huge game and if you go to this event, you will have greater chances of winning greater prizes like the limited Metal Gear Solid 4 bundled console version and a 32inch Sony Bravia LCD TV. Check here for more details.
