Fuckers released only limited quantites of MGS3 Subsistence Limited Edition, so I can't really get it up here. Trying all of my sources but squat.

I may have to get one of you guys to get me one. I really love the idea of that third disc with the cutscenes recut like a movie. It was a pretty cool story in that game....

I probably have some time in the next few days, though I wouldn't know if availability is any better (though Los Angeles is likely to have it, if anywhere does). I would have to wait until I get paid, though, which won't be until later in the week.

Send me a PM if you need it. I will probably get paid on Friday, though there's a shot I won't really have the money until Monday.

Um, I've done some looking myself and I'm pretty sure that unless you preordered the LE, there's no way you'll be able to walk into a store and buy one.

It's going for around $100 - give or take a few bucks - on eBay right now, depending on whether or not the other preorder extra, the "Metal Gear Saga" disc, is included.

I wanted the movie too, but I'm probably just going to cut my losses and pick up the regular version when I hit Gamestop for MPH and Tetris today (selling back my old copy of MGS3 in the process, of course).

Also, one of the guys who posted a review on GameFAQs (so take it with a grain of salt) had this to say:
The Limited Edition bonus disc Existence is MGS3 recut as a movie. While the Metal Gear Solid series has been acclaimed as movie-like in it's presentation the idea of a MGS movie sounds great, on paper. But in execution, it leaves something to be desired. The "movie" is long. It tries to cram as much of the 15 hour game in as possible, and still make it entertaining. And it falls flat. The movie, just like the game takes it sweet time getting started and getting to the good stuff. There is a narrator that is prevalent from the beginning, then he disappears for a large chunk of the movie, then returns towards the end. The movie switches scenes around for what could be perceived as dramatic effect, but it makes the movie drag on for too long. The boss battles are 5 minute watch Snake jerk around with the in game camera then switch to the boss death scene. If you did not get the Limited Edition, you are not missing anything by having this.

You can get it too, they started shipping it again a week or two ago. Check out EB games, or if you can't get it there: http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/B ... 79-9645657
It's down in price again (down like 75% to its original pricetag)

I don't actually own it yet, but it is on the way. Ordered it from Amazon this weekend, through a place called BestSKU.com.

Amazon's usually a good place to go for games that no one seems to stock anymore.
