Konami Digital Entertainment has announced its plans for a public beta program across PAL Territories for its forthcoming Metal Gear Online title for Playstation 3. Konami will release Metal Gear Online Premiere Beta via the PlayStation Store from April 17th, with online tests running from April 21st through May 6th. An all-new Metal Gear title specifically designed as a multi-player online experience, Metal Gear Online will be released worldwide as part of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots on June 12th.

The beta program will offer players a unique chance to sample the innovative multi-player experience of Metal Gear Online, which emphasizes cooperative team-based play. Those downloading the beta will be invited to explore two maps – “Blood Bath” and “Groznyi Grad” – each of which requires unique strategies in order to achieve victory.

I had that same problem too... but then used this technique and it worked first go:

If you're still experiencing difficulties registering, ACE, an administrator from playps3.co.uk, has found a solution to the 'timing-outs' at the KONAMI ID site, and "No", it doesn't involve hacking the KONAMI ID server(s). Here is his guide:

* You need Firefox.

* Go to 'Tools' > 'Add-ons' > 'Get Extensions' (it's on the bottom-right).

* Search for the 'Auto-former' add-on and install it. When it's installed, close the Firefox browser and re-boot it up.

* Go to the KONAMI ID site and click on the big blue 'Register' button on the left.

* Enter your country, language, and 'DOB' information. Go to 'Edit' in the Firefox menu > 'Auto-former' > 'Save All Fields'. Click 'Next' on the page.

* When the 'Terms & Conditions' is loaded, click 'Next'.

* When you get to the page to enter your KONAMI ID, password, etc., enter the data in the fields (don't rush, you have all of time in the world) according to the standards.

I didnt go thru the above, the konami site let me register not long after i mate the above post.

Im now ready to start a game but it fails to connect to a server

[kralster]

I did the above trick Vu, but now the flamin mongrel of a thing won't connect to the server.

I don't know if i can be bothered with it.

[hanyou]

[Kaido_RR]

I'm really starting to hate current gen console gaming. It's a f**king joke, it's getting as bad as pc gaming.

As soon as you put a game in nowadays it installs 5 gigs on your hdd then has to download a couple hundred meg patch. And you have more bullshit problems. I'd give anything to be able to put a cart in and start playing straight away.

I know what you mean. I went to have a quick game of warhawk the other day only to be met with "downloading update" I actually am starting to prefer my ps3 when I was offline as I think having to download all this cr@p to play games online all the time is starting to wear thin.

Also to comment I have signed up and downloaded everything and the reason we cant connect to the servers is due to high demand. they have apparently shut off the europe beta untill they stabilise the servers. I have heard a rumor that the beta might restart for us PAL users on the 25th and extend past the initial closing date. Heres hoping as I didnt spend all that time downloading this stuff for nothing.....

[Gts-t]

^ word, i just tried it again with no luck

here the rumor is confirmed looks like we have to wait till friday or saturday if we have to wait for the rest of the world to catch up.

The voucher provides the code to download the BETA in America... PAL regions gets to download it no vouchers no nothing directly from PSN. It doesnt affect us.

Sucks about the servers I was sooooo pumped to jump into it 12am yesterday... stayed up an hour then went to sleep woke up tried again no go... damn it.

[Gts-t]

cheers man, didnt really think it was affecting us but didnt want to lose out after going thru all this shit

[smurf80]

I know what you mean I downloaded the beta and update easily but trying to get that damn Konami ID was a pain I was so close to giving up when it finalyl got through.

Well lets just hope they get the servers fixed and us PAL users can get some value out of all this mess that has happened with this game.
