It has also been revealed that the European Store won't get updated until Thursday the 17th, but it should be worth the wait. A list of upcoming content was included in the press release, including the European Metal Gear Online beta. Konami has confirmed that the beta will be completely open and will last between April 21st and May 6th. After May 6th the beta client will be removed from the PSN Store.

When I read that it sounds like its saying Europe will get an open beta of Metal Gear online? Im in the USA and we have to get beta keys by pre-ordering, why does europe get an open beta and we get a closed?

Konami said the beta would be open to everyone who pre-ordered. It could be that they misworded the article and EU players will have to pre-order as well. If not, even better. Be European for a while and get your beta on. Everyone on my friends list (all 4 of 'em) have it pre-ordered.

because you get everything else when we don't

Played the MGO beta last night; seemed very lacking. Probably to do with the fact that it was a medium sized map with lots of players and deathmatch mode (remember, MGS isn't a RTS).

In short, the same concept works better in Vampire Rain's multiplayer mode (though VR isn't a beta).
