The website for UK game retailer HMV got 360 owners' hopes up (and caused more than a few fanboy heart attacks) when it listed a pre-order for the Xbox version of Metal Gear Solid 4 over the weekend. HMV has since said, "Oops":

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.

All of this just adds fuel to the "Is it or isn't it?" debate about the game's PS3 exclusivity, especially since more than one Konami rep has implied that MGS4 might end up on more than one platform.

'MGS4 for 360 a mistake,' admits HMV [GamesIndustry]
