We’re in the home stretch of Kojima Productions’ master class in drip fed PR. A seemingly endless storm has been raining on a seemingly endless series of countdown clocks.
The storm is over, and now? Now it’s sunny — well partly sunny. Geddit, Sunny? Of course, the Sunny character is raised by the Patriots and appears in Metal Gear Solid 4.
There’s also a new letter (or number). We can’t tell which! Either that’s a “B” or an “8″.
To review, these letters have appeared on the Kojima “Next” site:
“S” (or number “5″)
“R”
“P”
“E”
“C”
“@” (or a lowercase “e”)
“O” (or number “0″)
The following numbers have appeared:
“5″ (or “S”)
“3″
“6″
“0″ (or letter “O”)
…And now “B” or “8″.
Countdown clock [Konami Thanks everyone who sent this in!]

Monday, June 1, 2009 at 11:47 PMCould this mean something is going to hit the timer at 05:36:08? Specifically 6 numbers in a row is suspicious. I’m currently trying to see if adding this to the URL instead of index gives a hidden page. Good old Kojima to torture till the last second :D

My guess is that it’s counting down the announcement to a new MGS on the PSP Go! to correlate with that. Hence why it was mentioned in that leaked psp go video.
I hope how ever, Mr. Kojima is just screwing with us all and it will count down for 12 years before they get shut down and finally sued by investors.
