I thought you were going to be picking up a PS3 when MGS hits?

I'm going to have to pull some strings.....

This is great and I agree that most games should do it this way. There's nothing more boring than sitting there waiting for an install.

I highly suggest you at least play Metal Gear Solid, Solid 2, and Solid 3 though. There's nothing like experiencing the story for yourself. Edit: Click this LINK. That's the very first story for Metal Gear then just scroll through the Event Chronology at the bottom of the page to follow the timeline.

Thanks for the information. I read through it (sometimes, I had to read it twice) and I think I have a general idea. It is a good resource for when I get the game and am confused by a particular plot line.

I would like to play MGS3, but I simply don't have enough time. Anyway, thanks for your help and happy gaming!

But how many games are going to have cutscenes long enough to hide the install?
