Kojima at Oxford Street HMV today

Signing pre-orders from noon onwards.

HMV has boasted that its Oxford Street store in London will be housing Metal Gear Solid 4 creator Hideo Kojima this afternoon.

He will be there from 12pm onwards signing pre-ordered HMV-exclusive sleeves for his upcoming game.

Note that there are only 300 of these and you will need to dish out a GBP 5 deposit to reserve your copy. Otherwise it is first come first served.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is due out for PS3 on 12th June.
