Wanna meet Hideo Kojima?

Your dream is about to come true! Dream might be too strong a word there...

On June 11th (it's a Friday) the Metal Gear creator will be at a store called Uniqlo in Soho from 12 noon till 2 and then shift over to Best Buy in Union Square from 6 to 8. You can get an autograph (maybe) and pick up MGS Peacewalker for the PSP a little early. Should be a cool scene.

Official scuttle after the break

You look a little old for Solid Snake

The official date is out for the first Metal Gear for the PS3. You'll be able to pick it up on June 12, just in time to pop the AC on and spend some time away from the painful rays of the summer sun.

Here's to hoping that this is a good one. I'm overly pessimistic about anything that launches with this much fanfare. (oh lord, not another special edition console) Sony needs it, Konami knows it- MGS 4 should be just fine, but there's always that nagging worry. Part of that, I think, is that the graphics aren't really mind blowing. Snake looks good, but not that good...

We'll see.
