so, i've been hearing some stuff about this collection. mainly, the talk about how there is some content missing from the MGS3 game included in the pack. i've heard that the demo theater, metal gear 1 and 2 and some other stuff is not included. is there anything else that isn't included that i didn't mention?

is this true? can anyone please confirm this for me?

yeah im in the middle of a mgs3 playthrough right now from the essentials. It's only the first disk, metal gear 1 2 and the other goodies came on the 2nd disk. im not complaining, the price was great and it will be a nice refresher for mgs4 after replaying them all again.

Isn't Metal Gear Soid 1 and 2 in the bundle?

Just bought it today, but I haven't checked the MGS3 disc. I remember that MG1 and MG2 came on the second disk as well as Snake vs. Monkey. So unless they moved those over to one disc, they should be missing.

Does anybody know if this is gonna be released in Aus and NZ? I can't find anything regarding a release date. I really wanna play these games so that I can decide whether or not I wanna buy MGS4, but so far, things are looking grim..

There are no plans for a PAL release at the moment.

Read the IGN review. I think the Subsistence doesn't have the extras such as online, theater mode, and MG1-2 (Basically the second disc that came with Subsistence).

What do you mean don't have MG1-2? Isn't it bundle with the collection? Metal Gear Solid 1, 2 and 3.

Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid are 2 different games. MG are the MSX games that came as an extra in the second dic of Subsistance. In the EC that disc is not included.

The only content missing is the one from MGS3 Subsistence disk two, which included the online mode, the parody videos, Snake VS Monkey and the original MG and MG2 for MSX.

ok thanks, i really have been waiting for this, it's a great preliminary gaming experience to get everyone all caught up for MGS4. it is a bummer to be missing that extra stuff tho. i think the only things that I really wanted to have were the original Metal Gears, and maybe the videos, but oh well. it's still a great collection and a great deal. i'll be getting mine soon.

I got the collection yesterday and am glad that I kept my copy of MGS3 Subsistence that has both disc included. Most people thought it would be the complete package. Konami should of included the second disc.
