For the gamers here, Metal Gear Solid V is out in Kuwait ahead of the official launch date by 5 days. I picked up my NTSC copy from Kuwait Toys Center in Rihab Complex a few moments ago for KD20. Thats the cheapest price I’m aware of for the PS4 NTSC version as of this post in Kuwait. I think the shop is going to be open all day because of the rush for this game. When I was there at around 2:45PM there were three other people in the shop with me all there to get the same game. Not sure how many more copies he has but if you want one you could call them up and have them set aside one for you. [Link]

Finally the one game to rule them all
I honestly don’t know how the shops in Rihab do it. Last year I bought Little Big Planet for my kid while it was still in pre-order on Amazon! They had both the US and the UK versions! At first I thought they were fake, but no, they were the real thing. These guys should run our country.
Lol
‘These guys should run our country.’ Hahahahaha!
Where’s the like button 😛
It’s available in all GCC countries. I think the GCC distributors receive the games earlier.
Yeah but that would be PAL version not NTSC. NTSC is for the US.
All distros get games early, and are told by the publisher to not sell before a certain date. In the GCC they just always break street dates.
Hahahahaha! You are funny.
Eureka are selling it for 18kd
Knowing Eureka they probably only had 1 copy available for sale.
you read my mind
A Saudi guy mentioned one of the creators on twitter with a picture of him holding the game & he told him not to post any spoilers.
There a few stores that are distributors, and they give out the games for the other store in Re7ab. The distributer gets containers with the games, and they get “strict” instructions not to sell the game before the official release date. We all know how that turns out though
Do they have the PAL version?
I doubt that makes any difference with the PS4 or any console for that matter if it is connected through HDMI
It’s not about the signal to the TV. The NTSC is the US edition which means you get the downloads from the US store.
Really? I never bothered with which version it was ever since the PS3.
I downloaded the Kuwaiti store dlc for dark souls (ntsc) before :/
If you are buying DLC the region matters.
help me out here
if i have a pal console…can i play ntsc games on that?
plus will i still be able to download from the us store?
Is the story still as confusing as ever?
The whole intro didn’t make any sense to me
Did you play Ground Zeroes (The prologue that came out a while ago)? I think the game heavily expects that you did. Also expects you to play Peace Walker which a lot of people didn’t.
I was never a big fan of Peace Walker and have no idea why they put so much emphasis on a MGS game that was (originally) released on a system that not many people had.
I always liked MGS games because each game could stand on its own. You could MGS2, MGS3, MGS4 for the most part without knowing anything about the previous games and still be as confused as people who “know” the story. MGSV starts you off expecting you to know what happened in GZ and doesn’t really delve into it until you’re past the intro. So a lot of new players are going to be unnecessarily confused and will feel left out.
I would be really curious to hear how someone who never played MGS1-3 played 4, the entire game is one long reference
Dammit Mark, just 3 minutes more and you could’ve bought it at 2:48 pm.
