CAGiversary!
If you're not Elite, you have to pay shipping at Best Buy (if you're not Prime, obviously you do also on Amazon but it's easier to find $5 to add to the order, than $22). And tax at BB and GS. Most 3rd party sellers on Amazon don't charge tax. My deal is better!So without the intangible value of the artbook, the difference between it and the original HD collection is this includes MGS1, MGS1: VR missions, and MGS4.
You can get a preowned copy of the HD collection for $13.49 from Best Buy (if you have GCU)
Metal gear 4 you can get used for $5 from gamestop and probably a few other places.
I'm not sure the VR missions (a voucher code) are worth replaying, that's why I passed on them when they were on sale for $1.49 on PSN during golden week a couple of weeks ago.
MGS1 is also just a voucher code and it's been between $4-5 a few times (I paid $4.89 when I bought it)
So $13.49 (HD collection) + $4.99 (MGS4) + $1.49 (VR missions) + $5 (MGS1) = $25ish. So if you want everything, it is still slightly cheaper to be patient for a sale and buy it piecemeal, but if there is anything you already own or pieces you don't want, it is definitely better to buy it piecemeal.
