Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain out now in Japan

While Kojima’s highly anticipated game is already available in the west, the Japanese fans had to wait a bit longer. Now, they too can get their hands on the game.

In Japan, a special edition is available for either PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, as well as a Premium Package for the same systems. Regular versions are also available for all these versions, plus an Xbox 360 and Steam version.

Enjoy, Japanese fans!

    Just downloaded the JPN version on steam, but didn’t play it because my princess told me to go to sleep XD

    I might play a few rounds since my JPN class starts in 3 hours from now. PS4 JPN Special Edition also shipped just now. So i’ll probably wait on that since i have my own save from the PS3 while my brother has his own for steam ^^

    Back from blackout to cry a little T_T not that blackout actually matters considering the game is spoiled all over the internet since last week.

    Finally got a hold of EBgames today, and I found out my order was rejected and disabled (most likely because I changed my shipping address, which makes them pretty retarded) and so I got them to reactivate it and with a note about checking information before rejecting so it won’t get rejected again. So if I’m REALLY lucky I will get the game tomorrow, but considering everything the last two days has gone to shit I’m just going to assume I will get it much later for no good reason. As if having the game leaked all over the world wasn’t bad enough now I can’t even play the fucking game at release. Lets just say EBgames will never get another dime from me, there are other options that won’t fuck themselves when a simple address is changed.

    Hype levels = zero.
