Invalid Metal Gear Online beta keys detected

Many of us can’t wait to sneak up on enemy soldiers online, but it seems there are unfortunate ones who even pre-ordered Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots to acquire beta keys for Metal Gear Online. Various reports claim invalid codes are in the wild, and Konami is still mum on the matter. Find details at the full article.

After exciting news of Kojima Productions and Konami Digital’s Metal Gear Online beta becoming available for download a day earlier than expected, an alarming issue has surfaced from various reports. According to several Sony PlayStation 3 owners who acquired beta codes as bonus for placing Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots on pre-order, some keys are invalid.

Players are required to punch in a code of 12 characters located on the Metal Gear Saga Vol. 2 discs to secure a Konami ID. However, word has it that some codes distributed were only nine letters long. Consequently, unlucky ones weren’t able to download Metal Gear Online.

Konami is yet to release official word regarding the matter, but those who received impotent codes and everyone else with other problems in downloading Metal Gear Online can send an e-mail to [email protected]. We’re keeping tabs on the matter to keep you posted, so watch this space for updates!
