Konami and Kojima Productions' Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is easily one of Sony's most prized upcoming titles. Though fan anticipation can already be considered at a fever pitch, the console maker said when it announced the game's June 12 launch date in February that the online portion would benefit from an online beta test, beginning in the latter part of April.
That April launch date turned out to be earlier this week, but the beta didn't stay up long, thanks in large part to the massive interest surrounding the game. However, after a week of tinkering, Sony said today on its official blog that the Metal Gear Online development team has patched the beta client and servers are now back up for play. To compensate for the delay, Sony has said the beta period will now extend to May 11.
"Initial problems were caused by the extraordinary numbers of customers trying to log in to the site in order to create a Konami ID in order to take part in the beta test," Konami's MGO team said in a statement. "In response, we have increased server capacity, as well as created a separate Konami ID registration site specifically for customers wanting to take part in the Metal Gear Online Premiere Beta test."
To help alleviate server strain, Konami also said that it has instituted a play queue and that players may be forced to wait for an open slot in the servers during peak play times.

Yeah the bundle looks good.
To get the code from the beta version you had to pre-order MGS4.
