Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection Available For Pre-Order at PlayAsia

Kotaku reports: "For those of you who felt gypped by not being able to get a US version of the MGS Anniversary Collection, it seems that Konami is throwing you something of a bone. PlayAsia is currently taking pre-orders for Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection for the PS2 that includes the original Metal Gear Solid as well as the directors cut of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence. The listed price is $34.90 plus a $4 dollar shipping charge. If you are looking to delve into the world of MGS before MGS 4 comes out, this is the perfect way to do it at a reasonably low price".

That is a BEAST deal.

[C_SoL]

...........

[Vashlion]

It was meant for the US. As a kinda pAay back since we didnt get the jpn exclusive thingy. XD

[superman]

I think ill get this. I hope its english.

[Panthers]

yea can someone tell me if it is?

[RecSpec]

Yes it is the US version, check Play-Asia's site. Which is nice cause I was about to buy a Dual Shock three anyways (throws money down)

[belal]

damn i want a
mgs1 remake for the ps3 :( and i allso want a special collection like mgs1,2,3 and 4 for lets say 200 dollars or 1000 kroner in norway :P

[RecSpec]

Whoa
Damn, Substance is pretty damn hard to find for PS2 these days, plus it includes Subsistence (minus online play). Damn if this is in English I'll pay the full price just for a new copy of MGS.

[allstarpt19]

[Mr Tretton]

sweet I'm getting it!

[Iron Man 2]

OMFG please release this in North America,PLEASE!;)

[meepmoopmeep]

sweet...
but i would rather have the 20th anniversary bundle for North America... who knows, i think i'm going to pick this one up anyway just to showcase

[J@D]

Don't u see the M for Mature on the cover its for US release... unless this just a make-up cover for pure promotion but I doubt it... but anyway I'm sold ^__^

[jackdoe]

I really do want all the special features of the anniversary edition though. Hopefully this version includes at least most of them.

[Avto]

a really great deal

[Sayai jin]

That deal looks awesome. Although I just want to play MGS4, so I probaly will not get this set.

[LJWooly]

Don't know if i'll be getting it, I own every game, beside MGS2 and those crappy Ac!d games on the PSP.

Still, that's one sweet deal. Ifa nyone her's never played a Metal Gear game before... buy it!

[retro]

SOL(i)D!
I already own all the games but still the price is right.

[Staircase]

Awesome, but i won't be too happy if i buy this and the Anniversery Edition comes to the US.
