    I don't understand why the installation has become the new bad word when it comes to PS3 games. I wish Mass Effect had had installation so that I wouldn't find out the name of my ship, 40 seconds after it's arrived at dock.

    Don't mind the 90 minutes if it's the ending to the game... I'll pause it, make popcorn and watch the mini-movie ending.

    The installation part doesn't bother me either.

    I really hope the 90 minutes is the ending. It would really suck to try to squeeze in a little bit of progress and then hit some 90 minute cut scene in the middle of the game, when you only wanted to put in an hour of gaming.

    I agree, not to mention Not Knowing if you just hit that 90 minute and you're ready for bed, or to go to work or something.

    I really doubt there is a 90 minute non-stop cut scene. Somebody got their wires crossed.

    Crap, I forgot about this game. I think my bro used to have the first Metal Gear Solid game on the Playstation. I played that and Twin Snakes on the Gamecube. Something tells me I'm gonna have to spend money on a PS3.

    Dammit, Konami.

    I'm fairly sure I'll picking up the MGS PS3 bundle(regular). There is a version of MGO in MGS 4 right?

    Here is some stuff I found. There are spoilers, and I really don't know if you guys have seen this shit yet or not. Anyway:

    Here is the official MGS4 theme song from the Japanese CD released a few days ago. As you will see, it is a remix of MGS3, but still it sounds amazing.

    Here is the latest trailer.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6V0JDyHoAU

    12 more days until the most epic MGS game is released. IGN and almost every other review has given it a 5 star rating, saying it is the best game to be released in the series.

    I've decided I probably want the LE on top of the PS3 bundle because I want to see the documentaries after hearing about it on the last english Kojima podcast. These next 9 days are killing me!

    this time around the VA for ocelot is probably just gonna alter his voice instead of them dubbing over Liquid's for when the arm takes over.....

    makes more sense to me

    The explanation for Liquid Ocelot's voice is in his name; Liquid and Revolver are no longer 2 separate entities, but have formed a singular mind, rather than Liquid "taking over" every so often. That and Liquid's original english VA was unable to lend his voice.

    ^ACTUALLY, the only reason they used Cam Clarke's voice in MGS2 was so that you, the gamer, would realize that it was now Liquid controlling Ocelot. To everyone else in the game, it still sounded like Ocelot. Now we know that Liquid is in full operational control of Ocelot, so they didn't need two different voice actors and just used Ocelot's voice.

    If you notice in MGS2, Snake couldn't tell that it was Liquid talking through Ocelot at the beginning. He was very confused why Ocelot was calling him brother until Liquid explained it to him. He would definately recognize the distictiveness of Liquid if he just suddenly changed voices. That wasn't the case however.

    Either way, I am disappointed as I really liked Liquid's voice actor.
