Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection Ships, Playstation Compatibility Varies

Konami has announced that Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection has shipped to retailers. That means you should be able to pick it up tomorrow or in the next couple of days to be well versed in Solid Snake's saga. The 3 game compilation includes Metal Gear Solid (PSone), Directors Cut of Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance (PS2) and Directors Cut of Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence (PS2) for $29.99.

Being a multi-Playstation platform release, which many Playstation 3 gamers may be considering in preparation for Metal Gear Solid 4, take note on some differences on compatibility.
