Metal Gear Solid 4 launch events announced for US

It’s quite sad that the Japanese won’t be having a launch party in honor of Konami‘s opus, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, but for those who live in the US, the show must go on. Konami Online’s Brandon Laurino announces the schedule of the Metal Gear Solid launch events for three locations, and you can check them out in the full article.

 

Only a couple of sleepless nights more, and we’re finally going to see the launch of one of the much-awaited games of 2008, Konami‘s Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Of course, a big launch isn’t a BIG launch if there’s no partying involved, and luckily for us Konami has something good planned for fans of the series: the mandatory midnight launch parties.

Hideo Kojima of Kojima Productions and other Metal Gear Solid luminaries will grace the US with their presence in three locations – Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco – so better make some quick changes on your itinerary to accommodate the following events:

Konami Online’s Brandon Laurino also adds that the earlier you get to the above venues, the better, so you’ll be able to buy a standard copy of the game (if you haven’t pre-ordered your copy, that is).

As a bonus, Konami treats Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops+ players to a big haul of codes that can be used to unlock secret characters for the PSP game. Are you still playing Portable Ops+? If you are, then you should click on the Via link to check out the codes. Enjoy!
