Noticed this dropped online to $59.99 FROM $79.99. Most likely it is this price in store as well. Since its OOS online, its still work checking to see if any local stores still have it for pickup if you are interested.

From the site for those wondering.

The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection 'Limited Edition' features the full compilation of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection including Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Metal Gear Solid Peacewalker, all in High-Definition for the first time ever in one offering. From the legendary development studio Kojima Productions, all games are completely re-mastered to showcase these epic titles with stunning HD graphics for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 within a specialized package created by series artist Yoji Shinkawa. In addition, the 'Limited Edition' will include a never before released 250 page premium art book showcasing the art of Metal Gear Solid.

In short: 250 page art book

Sonuva....I just opened the regular edition I got as a gift over the holidays. ing awesome find if anyone snags one. Nice job OP.

I bought this for $79.99 in November for PS3. I know they have an extended return policy; but I imagine since I've opened it - and no other store around me has stock - that they don't do extend price guarantees, correct?

2 stores by me have the 360 version in stock. sold my ps3 one already but might get the 360 one at this price.

Nice catch, OP. Too bad no store within 100 miles of me has any left in stock!

Yea, no price guarantees or price matching (in my experience). If you had been lucky enough to pick up another copy at this price, you could have done a return with your $79.99 receipt.

EDIT: I meant in the case where you've already opened up your copy of the LE.

So I've got these in stock near me, and I was planning on picking up the MGS HD Collection anyway, but I'm wondering if this is worth the artbook. I'm not exactly a sucker for collector's editions, but this one seems to be pretty rare. Does anyone know what the resale value on this might be after I play it through? The GSs here in Puerto Rico don't open on sunday, so I've got time to mull it over lol but if you guys could give me an opinion, I'd be mighty grateful.

You can ABSOLUTELY do a price adjustment. All they do is return it @ $79.99 and rebuy @ $59.99. I do this all the time. None of my local stores had the infamous 2 hero edition but I was still able to get it adjusted. As long as its within the RETURN DATES (which this is until Jan 14 or 15, cant remember the exact day) you are fine. I''m going right when they open.

Dang closest one to me is 3 hours away

So why is it again that everyone wants the PS3 version and not the 360 one? I just did a search out of curiosity and there were no stores within a 100 mile radius of me that had the PS3 version but tons of stores around me have the 360 one.

I have BOTH LE's. YEah I know. But I get everything MGS. Anyway. This series is made for a PS controller. It feels OFF using an Xbox controller. Also no pressure sensitive buttons on Xbox. The Triggers yes. But the other buttons NO. It makes the game hard to play as that pressure sensitive is very essential. Throwing grenades is a real issue as well.

You sure about that? I have a copy and even though my GS near me is pretty decent I've never heard of them doing that. Is this an official policy or really YMMV?

Even though it was purchased with some trade ins I'd love the 20 bucks, even if I was just going to turn around and spend it there.

Too bad for me I guess. The closest store is like 58 miles away.

It's more of a nostalgic thing, it has nothing to do with which platform is better (okay, maybe the controller, I said "maybe" because some people still like the Xbox controller better).

Just X360 copies around here but I might still go get it , was interested in the huge book

Thanks for the heads up OP

I paid $28 for the regular edition (PS3) so I'm not concerned about the LE. Good luck finding a copy of this. Like others stated, two stores around me have the X360 LE in stock and not the PS3 version.

so just to confirm the only extra is the artbook ? Is the case any different?

Yeah, its just the art book, though everything comes in a nice cardboard slip case as well.

My closest store has one but its gutted for 360 and I already have a 360 copy. Decisions decisions.
EDIT: How long is Best Buy's return policy on sealed products? I'd buy this and return the game that comes with it to best buy. I bought the game at launch on 11/8/11 so I'm not sure if that's outside the return window for sealed products

Hmm...I still have mine (PS3 version) from November still sealed. Dare I go and try a return and rebuy? I kind of want that extra $30, but don't want that shady feeling. Leaning towards not doing a rebuy.

Might get the Xbox 360 version of the limited edition just to be different and play/rebuy cheaper the PS3 non-limited edition.

Edit: off-topic...anyone else having technical problems? I keep getting logged out within a few minutes. Already know that after a certain amount of time you automatically get logged out, but this seems a lot shorter duration.
