MGO Beta Crushing Konami ID Site

Like many others, I downloaded the MGO Beta from the UK Playstation Store last night and left my PS3 online all night to download and upload the 1.10 patch via their P2P option. I attempted to create my "Konami ID" via the Konami ID website but the site was barely responding. Konami is obviously aware of the problem, posting a message on 4/16:

Quote:
We regret to inform you that the site is currently busy due to high level of traffic creating difficulties in logging in.
We would like to recommend that you try again at a different time.
We would like to apologize for any inconveniences caused in the meantime.

I would like to play this game on Monday and I'm sure Konami would like to avoid the embarassment of enforcing people to create Konami ID's separate from their PSN ID's only to have the fanbase unable to create them.

Hopefully Konami resolves the problem before Monday, 4/21 when the Beta is scheduled to begin. If not, the grand idea of letting players download and update their Beta prior to the go-live will be a complete loss.

MGO US beta delayed

It looks like the interest in the beta was too great for the current crop of servers to withstand. Konami has delayed the beta for the US.
