Japan’s Metal Gear Online closed beta sign-ups begin

The promise of a future filled with Metal Gear Online makes us wish the future were already here. Imagine sneaking up behind hundreds of people who want to do the same to you, grasping their necks, snapping them, moving on… it’s so morbidly sneaky and delicious! While you probably won’t be able to do anything about the wait, we do know something that our Japanese PS3-owning readers will want to know: beta sign-ups for Metal Gear Online are already ongoing.

You read that right. Konami and Kojima Productions have already begun looking for their cadre of elite gamers to beta test Metal Gear Online. They’re looking for 3000 Japanese gamers to test out their systems, and if you can read Japanese and understand the requirements needed to sign up for the beta, then you may want to try signing up yourself. You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain, we reckon.

The closed beta will begin on August 30 and end on September 3, which doesn’t give you a lot of time to play. It also gives you even less time to sign up, so brush up on those Japanese reading skills now if you want to have a chance. In any case, interested readers can check out the read link below to find out more about Metal Gear Solid 4’s online mode. If you have an accurate translation with you, feel free to let us know. We might just try to sign up for the beta as well.
