We know what you're thinking. With at least two versions of every major console title out there already, what we need are even more Metal Gear Solid re-releases on the market. You're itching for it, especially with all the recent hoo-hah surrounding an eerily similar series, and Konami has the cure for your ailments. With the 20th anniversary of the series coming up, reissues of the entire MGS library, including handheld spin-off Portable Ops, are heading your way.
The listed prices are as follows:
Metal Gear Solid (PlayStation): 1500 yen ($12.35)
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (PlayStation 2): 1800 yen ($14.82)
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (PlayStation 2): 2800 yen ($23.05)
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (PSP): 2800 yen ($23.05)
Fans can also pick up all four games together for 6900 yen, which translates into $56.80. As of this time, it is not known if the games will have any extra content or even if it'll hit the States, though given the series' worldwide popularity, a western release is sure to come. "Metal Gear? ... it can't be."

DAMN CASH COWS!
Where's the Final Fantasy remake/re-release moaning threads? :P
Eh
I personally much prefer playing the GameCube remake of MGS1 (Twin Snakes), but it was sure confusing when I replayed all three games a while ago and had to transition from the GameCube controller to the PS2 controller.
It's really awesome being able to play through all three games with a fairly similar level of graphics though (MGS3 clearly edges Twin Snakes/MGS2 out), which can't be said for most venerable series. Just a shame you have to piss around with different consoles/controllers/memory cards/etc to do so.
:(((((
I also back what others have mentioned- remakes of Metal Gear and Metal Gear: Solid Snake. I've never played through the original Metal Gear on MSX (I have no excuse now it's on Subsistence now though....), but have played through Metal Gear: Solid Snake on MSX2 emulator (before MGS3:S) and it is an amazing game. MGS has so much in common with it, it sort of is a remake with a different story, but even the story in Solid Snake is engaging and interesting. Definetly 2 remakes that would fit well on the Wii (using the Twin Snakes engine?).
Another thing- where the hell is Portable Ops 2, the first one didn't directly lead up to the formation of Outer Heaven at all- c'mon Kojima, I know you've got MGS4 and all, but you've got to complete the new backstory you've created!!
