I can remember selling my copy of Snake Eater for $30. Now I've got 'em all for the same price!

I want to play GoW, but I also don't feel like paying $40 for what will be a 4-5 hour game. Too bad you can't rent PSP games anywhere here.

Its a shame its short. I beat Patapon tonight and started on GoW, its really amazing how smooth the PSP handles everything they pump into this game. I guess the UMD isnt a massive storage medium or they maybe they would have made it longer.

Speaking of Patapon, its totally worth the $20. The replay value is decent, since you can forever fight upgraded bosses and try to make your army the best it can be even after beating the last boss.

That's a pretty ****ing awesome deal. I mean, I am not even a fan of the series, and I am extremely tempted to buy this.

Well, there's no need for me to buy this, as I own them all seperately.

All this fucking collection did was plummet the value of my MGS2: Substance for PS2. Damn you, Konami! :-)

At least my limited Subsistence is still up there......

This Subsistence doesn't come with the bonus disc either.

Yeah, it seems to be a re-release of the regular Subsistence one rather than the limited. I kinda like the extra disc that allows you to watch all the cutscenes together.

I'm pretty sure all copies of Subsistence came with the second disc, not just the limited one. Mine did.

The Limited one I got has the Subsistence in it (the one with the green Big Boss insert) and another disc that has only the cutscenes in movie format all in a big red box.

So the Subsistence that came with this re-release doesn't even have the second disc in the original game? Wow

The thing I'll miss most is the theatre. There were some great blooper/parody vids. "TIME PARADOX!"

Otherwise, it's not that big a deal. No MG&MG2, and the multiplayer (which was shit) servers aren't running anymore.

Man, I loved playing MGS1.

Should anybody else get this, remember that MGS1 is still a PS1 game and therefore requires a PS1 memory card.

FWIW, there is a three some mini game like 15 minutes into the game and virtual boobies.

How does that avoid AO and get an M rating?

It's just a couple sets of tits and some off-camera moaning.

I thought the PS3 emulated a memory card if you had the backwards compatible kind?

Assuming you're playing it on a PS2.

And yet, having virtual sex with fully clothed characters from a part of the game that has to be hacked to access it earns you an AO rating.

Again, money is a wonderful thing. Look at who the publishers of GTA vs GoW were

And political influence. They're also a lightning rod with GTA right from the success of the first PS2 one. If there's one thing you can count on politicians is their hypocracy
