Seems like every 3rd time I try to log into Metal Gear Online its down for server maintenance. I don't know if that good that it is constantly being updated and fixed or if it is just that unstable that it takes 3 hours of downtime to unplug the big router and plug it back in. Well now MGO is updated to version 1.10. The official site says that its got loads of new stuff and that Gene Expansion Pack is available for purchase. Not through PSN though, have to do it on the Konami Shop site. If you are even lucky enough to get it to work. Seriously Konami, how much more can you screw this whole MGO experience up.
