I want MGS 4.

I would like to purchase MGS 4, however i have not played any of the prior games and i can't purchase the collection because I own the 40 gig PS3 and it does not have backwards compatibility. So should I go ahead and buy it or is there anywhere where i can catch up on the story?

Thanks in advance.

I did the same thing. It's about 6 videos that are 10 minutes each (I think). You have at least some ideal what's going on after those.

i'd buy i barely remembered the ones b4 i played mgs4 and i was still blown away plus u can download mgs database to inform u on everything so a buy and the best ps3 game to date:D417alum

the database is incredibly overwhelming for somebody who is new.

try going to wikipedia and reading the plot descriptions and avoid mgs4 on wiki- its a fat spoiler
