I don't know if there's a post on this or not but...

If you didn't know about it, it's in stores now for $29.99. It includes MGS(PSone), MGS2 and MGS3. Not a bad package if you want to relive them before MGS4 comes out.

Do you speak for everyone? I know I didn't know about it until a few days ago and neither did a few of my gamer friends... Just trying to get the word out as this seemed to come out of no where.

The PSone version may be a little hard to stomach graphically and it's controls may feel a bit old but stick with it, it's a real gem.

Its totally worth it. Unfortunately I'd only buy it for MGS one since I already own the other two. But still its one of the best deals ever between the Orange Box and Smash Bros Brawl.

Just a hint: you should have probably posted this on your blog. If you have some friends on Gamespot they will read it and comment on it just like they do here (read: sometimes more then they would if it was in a blog and it probably won't be moderated)

Yea I got this last week I also bought a PS2. I had to play MGS1 on my computer though because the graphics were just horrible on my PS3, I could raise my resolution really high on my comp so it looked a lot better. I've been playing MGS2 now which I'm enjoying a lot more the graphics are alot better

Well, I placed it here because some people who own a PS3 no longer use a PS2. If PS3's backwards compatible, what difference does it make which forum this is in? I figured that those people who are looking forward to MGS4 that don't own or haven't played any of the previous versions might find this news as exciting as I did.

I seem to have offended a few people by putting this here, judging by some of the reactions. No, I don't live under a rock but I do have a real life to live. My friends and the people at my local EB games had no idea this collection was coming and we were all surprised (and excited) to see it's arrival.

PSone graphics are a little hard to stomach over all I find but the smoothing on my PS3 does seem to help some. I would strongly urge anyone who hasn't played the first one to look past the graphics and just enjoy the experience for what it is. I know it's one of my most memorable games.

It's a really good game despite the dated graphics. And how can you not like a game that lets you plant a c4 on an enemy soldier's back?

Haha yea, I'd recommend beating the game [spoiler] without saving Meryl first. It's easier to replay the game with stealth than with infinite ammo. [/spoiler]

:P, I'm able to stomache them pretty well, most likely because I recently played through Half Life-Half Life 2: Episode Two, so terrible grapihcs were really no big deal to me. My Essential Collection just arrived today, been waiting all week for this thing. Word from the now wise, don't get $0.99 shipping, it's not worth it in the end lol.

I am still reluctant to open it. I did end up playing mg 1 a little bit on my disc 2 of subsistence. I got stuck at this one part. Games really were tougher back in the day. Oh and I watched the secret theatre clips. OMG, ^0^ it made me want a Metal Gear Raiden Snake Eraser game.
