I want so very badly to see this thing but I'm stumped. How spoiler heavy is it anyway? I don't want to watch it if it gives away everything. Doesn't matter in the end though, I'll find some way of watching it because I wan't the game NOW! This delay is killing me...
The trailer contains some scenes that reveal some of the key events in the game. Watching the trailer won't spoil much of the game for you, and there will be PLENTY that will still have a great effect on you in the game. The first half of the trailer is basically the first 5 minutes of the game. The rest of the trailer is from later in the game, and there's a bit that happens in the last half hour. I might advise not watching it if you haven't played MGS before, and you KNOW that you are getting the game. If you aren't sure you will be getting it, give it a watch. It will ocnvince you.
The trailer is excellent though, and I would keep a copy of it around for when you do get to play MGS, simply because of the genius of it. It was without a doubt targetted towards people who have already played the game, and wanted to know why they should buy the GCN version.
As for your error, what message do you get? I might be able to help you with that. WMP9 SHOULD play the movie though, and I suspect that it's probably the copy that you downloaded. But regardless, you can get it in WMV or QT right
here Enjoy.
