Some Knowledge

Konami is having a few difficulties this morning keeping up with all the web traffic they have on their Konami ID site.  Metal Gear Online for the PS3 is coming out April 21 in open beta and will run to May 5.  In order to play this game you will need a Konami ID code and a MGO code as well, that will be available at id.konami.net.

A good site to find out information on this process can be found here.  An explanation of the registration process as well as information on game mechanics for MGO is also written up on this site.

There were some  problems earlier when Metal Gear Online came out in Japan with people from other countries trying to access the beta tests of the game.  Konami revoked a number of ID codes that were obtained with false information stating that the players were in Japan, while their IPs were in the USA or Europe.  It’s looking like Metal Gear Online for the Playstation 3 will be a big hit for Konami, despite the extra registration process.
