The site HMV is now taking Pre-Orders for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, obviously the site is taking orders for the PS3 version, but also listed right under the PS3 version is a Xbox 360 version. This does seem rather odd since Sony and Konami have both come forward to confirm that MGS 4 in fact is a PS3 exclusive title. Just a mistake maybe? Well the release date of the game seems to be no mistake. The release date for the PS3 version is listed as 4-18-2008 and the 360 version to come a few months later on 9-26-2008. This further strengthens the many rumors floating around on the web of MGS 4 coming to the 360 soon after the PS3 version. So, what do you think? Is this a mistake or have we been lied to yet again by Sony? Well I guess technically it wouldn't be a lie because it would make MGS 4 an exclusive, a "timed" exclusive.

P.S.: Just in case it does get taken down the pic above is from the HMV site.
[Update]
As expected the site has taken down the Pre-Order and have released this statement:
"In his enthusiasm, one of our online games team indicated that hmv.co.uk would start taking pre-orders for MGS4 on Xbox 360, when, in fact, he simply meant to ask customers if they wished to receive an alert in the event of this title one day coming out on this platform."
An alert, huh? That's why there was a release date of September 26th, 2008, right?
