PS2 Metal Gear Solid Essentials coming March 18th - $29.99

UPDATE: MSRP is $29.99
Amazon

According to Play-asia, the US is getting a collection of the three MGS games in March. I was browsing PS2 preorders when I noticed this...

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-...n-70-2jtb.html

If they're right, and it includes the enhanced versions of MGS 2/3, it's a really good deal at 30-35 dollars. I'll probably skip it as I still have the Substance/Subsistance versions on PS2 but for anyone scouring eBay for them, you should probably wait.

I haven't really looked around for further confirmation but PA is a damn good store and unless it gets cancelled by Konami, I'd say it's confirmed.

I'll probably get this as I don't have MGS2: Substance. Now if I could only find MGS3: Subsistence Limited Edition. Can't wait for MGS4 it's gonna be amazing.

I hope it's true. I don't have MGS2: Substance.

I wonder which version of MGS is on there... probably the PS original I guess.

After searching online, Play-Asia is the only one to have any information on this. Rumors are spreading like wildfire though...

Personally, I see Konami holding off until MGS4 and trying to get people to buy the bundle along with it.

well their original plan was to have the bundle in before MGS4 was out so people could play it. why would they hold off until MGS4 was out?

i think it would work better cause it would promote MGS4 as a reminder
and it would allow people who have never played to series to get into it before one of the biggest games for ps3 is coming out

there was an article ont his for the japanese counter-part of this

D'oh!

I just bought a used copy of Subsistence for about $22 last month so I could keep my LE Subsistence sealed.

This looks like a pretty nice package though.
Might get one just as a collectible.

Assuming Play-asia doesn't change their price, I bet buying it from a US retailer will be cheaper. If you look around PA, their prices on US releases are generally $5 higher than retail. Plus shipping can get expensive. I suppose that's why I didn't put this in the deals section to begin with. It'll be a deal when (if) Circuit City or Target has it $5 less than everyone else whenever it comes out.

Hoping it contains the LE discs from MGS2 and MGS3.

Hmmm, I wonder if Amazon will have it. PA usu puts these things at $5 more (as someone else stated) and paying for shipping on top of that could be a mistake...

I wouldn't mind playing through 1 and 2 again.

I already own everything in this set, but I could see myself picking this up. Then again, I would probably buy an empty cardboard box with the words "Metal Gear Solid" written on it.

Let me know when Play Asia has that in stock.

That's true for people in the US, but for those of us in Japan, the extra $5 with free shipping is a great deal!

I guess I'll have wait for this to be released instead of buying a copy of MGS 3. I don't really care if it is MGS 3: Subsistance or Snake Eater included. I already have MGS 2: Substance on Xbox.
