was just there and bought it. was a sale price. not a temporary price cut or anything like that.

Hmmmm. I really want this, for the sole purpose of using the cross-platform option with the PS3 version.

But I hate the fact they didn't put Peace Walker or MGS1 on here, bastards!

Wonder if peace walker- when it's released digitally on psn, will also be playable on vita?

Dumb question- in theory you could download the psp version of peace walker- but of course it wouldn't benefit from dual analog

It's on PSN via PS3, sp you have to download it to a PS3 then transfer it over to the Vita.

Note: "transfarring" does not work between the Vita-based PSP version and the PS3 version--you need to play it on an actual PSP to take advantage of the feature.

I own almost every Vita game, but I refuse to pay more than $20 for this b/c: 1. most of MGS2 sucks (thanks to Raiden); and 2. f*ck Konami for not including Peace Walker.

Once you've seen all the cutscenes you'll end up skipping through them on subsequent playthroughs. At that point you're basically playing as Snake with a different character model since both characters handle almost identically. The only real difference between the two characters is the brief sequence where you're restricted to using a melee weapon. Plus you've got the additional Snake Tales missions to play through as Snake.
