I have been waiting for many months to finally say this, and today is the day. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots will not be a PS3 exclusive after all. It has been confirmed that it will make its way to the Xbox 360 in 2008.
There is no true date set for the release at this point, but November of 2008 has been mentioned. This is not set in stone as Konami is working with Microsoft to bring the date forward as much as possible. MGS4 for the 360 will also come with exclusive content and gameplay that will not be in the PS3 version of the game. Some of this content is VR missions, as well as "Snake Tales" or "Snake in the Valley" (depending on where you live), which will let you go on objective based missions, some of which are very lengthy. These are the first two bonuses to emerge so far, but be ready to expect even more.
Konami is also in talks with Nintendo to bring a Metal Gear Solid game to the Wii. MGS4 would obviously have to be slimmed down if the chose to port the title to Nintendo's console. We already know that Snake will be a playable character in Super Smash Bros., so this (along with the 360 news) doesn't come as much of a surprise.
On a personal note. HAHAHAHA! Hey Sony fanboys: At least you all have a Blu-ray player for the next year or two until that fails as well.
[Editor's note: The opinions expressed about Sony and the PS3 belong to Ron Workman and Ron Workman only. He's a loose cannon and a PR nightmare.]
Dear internet matlocks,
You cracked the case, good work. I understand that going to every gaming industry event, [----edited----], speaking to someone at Konami, and knowing this has been in the works for months, could not possibly make me as qualified as the forum post you made from your

We all know that Sony would never give up an exclusive. I mean what's next? Unreal Tourney? Final Fantasy? Nooo waaay! They would never loose an exclusive. Every MGS game was a Sony exclusive at one point. I can't imagine them coming out with MGS on another console. I mean... they have never done that have they?
Next time I am with Peter Moore, Myamoto, or Phil Harrison in person, I will be sure to remind them to approve things through you, internet Matlocks, before they make any decisions.

ok, the above is the original post....now click the link 2 it (found above) and notice that the entire post had to be changed cause either konami or M$ or both of them threatened to sue....now why would they do that if the story was bogus? tons of rumors and news of this game on 360 had been posted all over the net and no1 was told to change anything...but then this pops up and they are threatened by lawyers....
