You may have set your sights on the upcoming MGS4 as the next item from Konami to satisfy your Metal Gear needs, but there's no reason why you can't revisit the great games of the past for a refresher course during the interim. Apparently Konami is banking on just that, as PlayAsia has an interesting pre-order listed on the PS2 section of their storefront: Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection
For the low price of $34.90 + $4.00 shipping and handling, you will get the play the three games you've waxed poetic about all over again: Metal Gear Solid, the director's cut of MGS2: Substance, and MGS3: Subsistance. That ought to keep your PlayStation 2 busy for a while. Not only does this seem like a reasonable price, but it looks to be the perfect excuse to retire those tired, old, blue disks form the first game that haunt your otherwise pristine collection. Besides, don't you want all the boxes to match?
[Thanks, Vegas and brownkid]

...excuse me a minute plz.
Also, I am totally going to buy this. I already have MGS and Subsistance, but Substance was stolen long ago, and this is the perfect excuse to get it back. FINALLY I SHALL MASTER THE VR MISSIONS!
Yes I already all the games, but for c'mon just 27 EUR!
niceeee..
I've got the mgs 2:sons of liberty, and the snake eater... lost my mgs 1 cd over those years :( ..
It's a [erfect excuse to get this :) .
PS1 port
I'm a whore for anything Metal Gear. :(
Do want.
I bought them for the full price years ago. But still I do want these. REAL BAD!!!
Why?
Firstly, Japan and the US both use NTSC, however the region flag is for US.
Secondly, I don't think this is going to replace your blue discs, because if you look at the box for MGS1, it shows a PS1 logo instead of a PS2 logo.
And @m3ds
WHAT. THE. FUCK? Those are two of the cheapest games in existence, are you daft? Every standard version of MGS 1-3 is worth about $5, this compilation is only worthwhile because it has the Special Editions of MGS2 & 3.
I dunno why he paid so much for MGS1, but MGS2 Substance can be a little on the expensive side (if that's the one he bought). You can get Sons of Liberty for less than $5, but Substance is harder to find an a lot more expensive (on the PS2, anyway.....I bought the Xbox version for $5 and the PC version for $10, but they both suck).
This news sucks for me, though......I just got Substance for $25. I've been looking for another copy for years, because I love that game so damn much. I dropped 70 hours into the VR missions alone when I first had it.
Thank you, Kojima-san. :D
I hope they dont gip us and put it on the back of the instruction manual or something.
Snake? SNAKE? SNAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!!!!!
Why not?
It's a sweet buy though i wish they'd include Portable Ops too. Guess they're waiting for MGS5 to do that.
And only the first MGS is really worth it(the PS1 original), MGS2 was complete shit and MGS3 was mediocre at best, good story though.
Cool! Let's all get this pack and play Subsistence onlin... oooooooooooooooooooooohh
