It's a bunch of PS2 games in slightly higher res if I'm not mistaken.

In other words: pick your favorite controller.

I got it on PS3 because the games were deisgned to be played with specific things relating to the PS controller, but graphically, they're basically the same.

Which controller do you prefer? Do you prefer achievements or trophies? Which online community do you prefer, well, that game isn't online that I'm aware of, but you could still party chat on Xboxlive.

Fanboys will tell you otherwise, but their is very rarely any difference of note (visual-wise) between console multiplats. Pick whichever. Go with PS3 if you ever intend to get the PSP version of peace walker, the 360 version obviously won't be able to share save data between the Ps3 and PSP/Vita.

Doesn't make em less fun. I don't think that he was asking which version looks the best anyways. It really doesn't matter about the visuals anyways. I still play my Saturn, which looks primitive visually now, but damn if Shinobi Legions,Xmen Children of the Atom, Street Fighter Alpha 2, and Daytona USA ain't some fun ass games!!

I bought it for the PS3 just because I played the originals on the PS/Ps2 and playing it on the 360 would be unnatural. Besides that, there is zero difference between the two, but I will say that replaying MGS2 made me realize what a crappy game that is. Holy hell that did not age well, I remember first playing that game and being blown away. Games...have changed.

I'd say that's a reason to get it on the 360. I f**king hate that s**t.

Yeah, well, the MGS games are designed with that in mind. I have no idea what they did to compensate for that.

360 is compressed. PS3 is not. Great care is taken in MGS audio--it's a delight to listen to.

Little to no difference in graphics. Buy it on PS3, as the games were designed for Sony's controller

Ps3 is depressed. 360 is non compressed.

Exactly. I also prefer achievements, although the one disc on the Bluray for the ps3 version is appealing.

Obviously PS3. It's Metal Gear Solid. It's a PlayStation game.

The PS3 version has trophies that you can't get as achievements in the 360 version. The 360 version is also missig certain codec conversations and does not have pressure sensitive buttons, meaning that you'll have to unequip your weapon if you don't want to fire it while aiming it.

You can click your analog stick to lower your weapon in the 360 version. You don't have to unequip anything. Anyway, both versions are fine.

If the lack of pressure sensitive buttons is an issue, get it on the PS3.

OK so am I confirming there are no VISUAL differences ? i know they look like crap, and i know the PS controller is better. i was specifically asking for visuals or performance, as in more jaggies in one, more screen tear etc

either one works. 360 gets around the button pressure issue by letting you toggle the weapon to ready-to-fire mode by clicking the analogue stick.

You won't tell a difference between the two.

I recommend the PS3 version as you could have the entire seris on PS3. MGS4 and you can download the origional MGS off the Store for about 10 bucks. Also I find the PS3 controller just better for MGS in general, especially because it has pressure sensitive buttons.

They're practically identical on both platforms, although Digital Foundry found that MGS3 ran at a higher, more consistent frame rate on the 360. Just go with whatever controller you prefer.

Hater in the house! Here's a radical idea. Don't buy it at all. Those games are fukin terrible. MGS 3 is the only one worth a damn.

no. One of the many flaws of the controller
