Yeah I know, I had to pay $30 just for MGS3 Subsistence. It's available now on Amazon for preorder. Available in mid March.

Yeah I may grab it too...I own MGS2, and owned MGS...but let a cousin borrow it back in like 2000, and haven't seen it since...

I never owned MGS3 in any form though, just borrowed it from a friend...

either way though...this makes 2 cheap PS2 games that I will pick up...Twisted Metal: head on; extra extreme nuclear twisted volume edition should be in stores by tomorrow hopefully...will grab that right away...

1.3 - This is the greatest news of 2008..
For someone who has yet to play MGS1&2 :)

I can't even call myself a true gamer until I complete those games. I rented and beat MGS3 - and now I'm so glad I only rented it, as this package is PERFECT for me!

I got lucky here - not only will I have played the 3 games in proper storyline order (3->1->2), I'll get em brand new for $30.

Okay, I'll shut up now :D

1.4 - I actually own all 3 versions
And played them in the right order, but I can't wait for this package cause i'll be getting all 3 in mint condition, which I thought would be impossible unless I was willing to pay some major cash.

Also i bet there will be plenty of extras on the discs for some of the more hardcore fans.

2 - $10 a game!
That's $10 a game! Awesome, I really do hope it works with the PS3, but since the MGS 1 is for the Playstation 1, it might not work. Hence the "for the Playstation 2" written in the story.

Yes, PS1 games are 100%

PS2 games are 99% if you have an NTSC 60/20gb and like 85% (improving) if you have an PAL 60gb or NTSC 80gb.

the discs will most likely be playstation 2 format...even MGS probably, although every PS2 will play PS1 CD-Roms...so who knows...but obviously the other games will be DVD PS2 software...

is it true though that even 40gigs can play PS1 games?...I know they can play software emulated titles, like those able to be downloaded...but if you put a physical PS1 CD-Rom into the drive, it will play it?...I thought the 40gig had no legacy PS media BC at all...just those put onto the store for download...

its times like this though that I am glad I bought NTSC 60gig...shouldn't have any problems...

Im surprised they did not put the remake of Part 1 for the Gamecube & port it to the PS2 for this release. That definitely would have been more ideal

I'm not 100% sure if they could. I don't know how much Nintendo was involved with the process when it was made for the GameCube. I know there are little bits of nintendo items in it (like a hidden gamecube and yoshi or mario, something like that). I'm not even sure if the job was contracted through Nintendo to Silicon Knights (who handled most of the remaking process) or if it was handled just by SK and Konami. It would make sense to port it over instead of the original PsOne version. Then again, it was designed for the gamecube so it would probably have to be downgraded a bit for release on the PS2, like Resident Evil 4 was. Meaning more work and more development time.

this is cool, it would combine my whole mgs collection into one disk which is convenient

i still have the ultimate disk set though- MGS1 dual-disk in all its glory with the excellent box-art and everything in pristine condition- bound to fetch a couple quid in a few years time although it would be hard to part with such a classic

If the essential collection comes with MGS2 Substance than Konami is definately going to get my $30. I only have the initial MGS2 release which doesn't even have VR missions. I still have MGS1 and MGS3 Subsistance in near mint condition though, so if MGS2 is just the basic version than its a waste of money for me.

THIS IS FU(K!NG BALLER. I have MGS2 and 3 but I will just sell them both and get this collectors edition. This is the series that made me buy a PS3, in my opinion MGS is at the forefront of what a video game should be.
I love being a PS3 owner.

MGS 3 = PS2
MG:PO = PSP
MG = MSX included in MGS3 Disc 2
MG 2:Solid Snake = Also in MGS3 Disc 2
MGS = PSX
MGS 2:SOL = PS2

I own them ALL and I started playing them all over again...
I suggest to you all to do the same!!!!

OVER AND OUT.
