1.5 - Now all they need to do is switch over back to PSN servers
So it won't take 3 hours to update that damn MGO >=/. I hate their DL servers. Hell, their matchmaking takes 5-10 mins for me. I have NAT Type 1 btw...

I'm surprised it took them so long to realise how much the whole system sucks.

MGO would be much better, and played much more, without them

Maybe now I'll try to get back into MGO.

Just signing into the game to play for a little while was such a hassle.

I wish, then I might actually play it.

The whole having to log into anther site just to play 1 game out of all the hundreds of PS3 games was too much for me. Yea, I'm a lazy gamer, but thus is the life that the PSN has spoiled me to.

Come on Konami, integrate MGO into the PSN so I can play with/against my friends. Some of them really need to be taken down Snake style.

Same. Only reason i don't play it is, because liek that guy ^^ i can't be bothered with two different systems. In fact i don't even know what my login details are for Konami

Maybe PSN would fix that disgusting lag! That's the main reason I stopped playing it! A dude comes around the corner, so you shoot him, but you were dead before you even saw him!

Oh man for a second I thought this would include MGO stuff, even though I don't really play it much anymore I'd still be mad if they got rid of them like that. I mean you never know I may pick it up again!

saying its too late to change it for older games (MGO) is saddening. sometimes i want to play MGO but i dont remember my password. by the time i go to the site to change i just give up and play another game.

I always thought the Konami ID was a way of letting Kojima do it solely for the PS3, and make some extra money out of it.

the whole konami id thing i had a nightmare with it. i love mgs4 but rarely play mgo because of all the konami grief. if they had put mgo on psn i bet many more poeple would be playing it now, me for one.

7.3 - Konami wanted money.
They wanted you the consumer to pay them directly without using the PSN store.

the actual reason why i didn't play MGO is because i keep getting errors when dling. So i hope they sort out their servers issue, i'm sure i'm not the only one with this problem

The thing that is holding back MGO.

12 - It says "too late for existing games"
And I don't know why. Merging accounts is easy as pie. It could even be done using komami servers without user intervention, based on user log in. (Of course, confirmation is necessary)

Its a shame that they already ruined MGO with this crap. To bad they will not remove the IDs from MGO and maybe get people interested in it now.

If the ID system is what was holding you back from playing MGO Since June 12th 08.

Geez.

You do it once. It saves the info. Done.
(It's even easier on PC)

It doesn't really matter. Servers are still full everyday just like Warhawk.

needz moar nubz .... i kid, i kid.

EDIT: ... and if you do sign up (again). Just wait til your level 1 character runs up against a LV 17 MGO player. LoL!

For me it was the stupid lag on Konami servers; Unless that is just a game defect, but that seems umlikely considering the maker. Also, I will not put my credit card info on anything else and not being able to buy booster packs ends any long term commitments to an online game.

16.2 - I didn't play MGO by principle
What if every publisher did this? Get an Activision ID for COD, get an EA id for Burnout (you do this but it is transparent to user, how it should be), get a UBISOFT id, get an Atari ID, get an ID id, etc etc.

What makes Konami so special to ask for this?
