Do i have to preorder ZOE to get the MGS2 demo?  I\'ve heard many different reports...some saying yes, while others say no.

I seem to be in the dark, what is ZOE? Never heard of it before.

Its a mech type game. Aside from the great looking graphics I am not to keen on mech games.

I still find it hard to believe that many people aren\'t excited about ZOE - the game looks beautiful and from a lot of the hands-on previews I\'ve read it sounds like a truckload of fun too. Throw in a great sci-fi storyline and you\'ve got a winner. I think it\'ll be a lot more than "robots slapping each other ".

Why is everyone saying the MGS2 demo is limited?  Konami has made no such statement or press release, but only rumors circulate the information, nothing more.  Konami said the game would be packaged into the box when you buy it, so you won\'t be getting an extra thing attached with it or anything.  Just look at the damn box for proof:



Then, if that\'s still not convincing enough, EB ALWAYS announces exclusives with pre-orders when they sell their games in order to sell more copies of the title and they ALWAYS point out limited supplies.  For example, take a look at their Onimusha promo and their "free t-shirt" offer:

It CLEARLY says "while supplies last" under the game.  Now, take a look at the ZOE offer:

http://www.ebworld.com/ebx/categories/products/product.asp?pf_id=182328&mscssid=&ref=1&PromoCode=

All it says there is this exactly:

Special Bonus: Included with your copy of Zone of the Enders is an exclusive playable demo of the highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty!

Wow, that sure does sound like "While supplies last" or "only available with pre-orders" or anything to that nature :rolleyes:  I think you people have been eating the wrong information concerning the demo of MGS2.  It\'s printed on the box and it will be included INSIDE it.  If supplies were limited, it would be stated, end of story.

ryu...the t-shirt for onimusha is nothing..ALL stores are getting the t-shirt if you pre-order it even the website...if you have a copy of the US copy of the Official Playstation Magazine with ZOE on the cover..read the ZOE section..ign also reported that Konami made an announcement that MGS2 for pre-orders ONLY..

http://www.zdnet.com/gamespot/stories/news/0,10870,2681883,00.html

Confirming previous reports, Konami has announced that a Metal Gear Solid 2 demo will be included in the North American release of Zone of the Enders. The playable demo of MGS2 will be released on its own individual CD, as part of the Z.O.E. retail package. Zone of the Enders will be released on March 27 and will carry a suggested retail price of $49.99.

I don\'t see of any mention of it being limited there.

Also, accoriding to your OPM quote, it says this exactly in the mag on page 78 in the upper left hand corner:

As Clish mentioned last month, Konami decided not to package the MGS2 demo in with ZOE in the states.  Thankfully, the company has opted to still offer the MGS2 DVD to buyers of ZOE, but in order to take advantage of the offer, one must pre-purchase it from retailers.

Dude, that says that the demo won\'t even be with ZOE, but the MGS2 DVD VIDEO will be instead.  That source doesn\'t hold up at all in this case so sorry to bring that one down.  I\'m looking for your supposed IGN quote since that\'s all you got to go on for now.

Ok, I found your IGN thing as well and it\'s pretty much the same as the Videogames.com thing.  Here, let me quote them and link you:

http://ps2.ign.com/news/31037.html

Konami of America revealed today that the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty demo will be packaged inside the retail box of Zone of the Enders (Z.O.E.) for PlayStation 2 and will be on its very own disc. This is contrary to the company\'s initial announcement that it made back at Konami\'s Gamers\' Day in December 2000, when it was revealed that the demo would be made available to those who purchased Z.O.E. in a separate package.

Z.O.E. will be released on March 27, 2001 here in North America and will carry a suggested retail price of $49.99. It\'s undoubtedly one of the most highly anticipated games coming to the system this year and we expect to have further details, impressions, screenshots and movies of the game as its release date approaches.

See, no mention of it being limited to pre-orders only.  Come on, people are saying it\'s limited yet no one has a source backing up their claim?

Bump.  I want someone to prove me wrong.

Some people do the opposite, and they still fit in.  Some of them are even moderators.

i would pre-order them both if you wanted them both  and for the demo i think it only comes with pre orders..because thats what the manager up at babbages said..
