Outside the Virgin Megastore this afternoon, more than 200 "Metal Gear" fans are waiting patiently in line for one thing -- to get their copy of "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots" signed by its creator, Mr. Hideo Kojima.
This morning I saw a few stragglers hanging around in front of the store outside MTV's Times Square headquarters, but as the day went on, the line grew and grew. It now wraps halfway around the block. Around 3 p.m., I walked over and spoke with the first four people in line.
