Speaking to trade magazine MCV, UK general manager for Konami Pete Stone has moved to calm fears of the possibility of a broken Metal Gear Solid 4 street date, explaining that the publisher has written agreements in place with retailers to guard against jumping the gun.
“We pride ourselves on working closely with retailers and have a continuation of the singed agreement system we used so successfully before, ” said Stone. “All major retailers are supplying written agreements that they will honour the street date no matter what, making it a level playing field across the board. We all want the game to be a huge success, and for everyone to benefit from this release.”
Stone also confirmed that there will be enough stock of the highly anticipated PS3 game to meet demand.
“With demand for MGS4 at such a high level, I am delighted to confirm that we are continually manufacturing stock to meet the phenomenal demand. We want to make sure that everyone gets a good allocation of what is the key PS3 title of the year,” said Stone.
Metal Gear Solid 4 is scheduled for release, exclusively for PS3, on June 12. Look out for our review on the same day.
