I hope Kojima realizes the potential that BLU-RAY has to offer for a compilation like this. Why not throw ALL the PS1 & PS2 games on one BD50? (MG1, MG2, MGS, MGS2, Document, MGS3, MGS Saga) Even though I own every one of those games I'd buy them again to have it on one disc.

$45 is not what I'd call a bomb :p Besides I paid for half of it by selling off the original versions. I know this box was going to be special so I sold the old games first.

I like, but am not a huge fan of, the MGS games, let along a big enough fan to get the Japanese versions.

But I knew I had to have this bundle when it was first revealed.

Edit 2.0

In one of Ryans podcasts he said that there were problems with having to make PS1 games again, because there hasn't been PS1 game production in so many years.
Why don't they just put them on DVD's?

$60 bundle fetishes that have hot presentations like that, yeah! :D

It helps that I don't own MGS2 or MGS3 at the moment.

Yeah seriously....why even worry with releasing the PS1 copies then? PS3 and PS2 are all backwards compatible anyway!!

Hell, just release the whole damn set on one PS3 Blu-ray Konami!!

BD sounds nice, but it really has to play on PS2s, not just the PS3.

It also doesn't make sense considering that a lot of PS2's can't play those discs (hell, my old PS2 couldn't even play early PS2 games)
Throwing it on one DVD just makes sense.

The reason is that PS1 game can't be put on a DVD and remain bootable on PS2.

Why not drop one BD on top of all these disks in the set, as to make it more of an incentive to buy? I would actually buy it in that case. Maybe even do a remake that would just make the games run in high resolution with antialiasing. As it is, this whole thing is pretty lazy and redundant, IMO.

Well they could just make it boot technically as a PS2 game and not a PS1 game. Really either way, damn near everybody is going to run these babies on a PS2 at least.

Man I hate Japan. I just feel like there's little chance this set makes it across seas. I really hope I'm wrong though.

Look at those PS3 sales, dude. Is it really worth it? (not saying this to troll or incite controversy, just being flat out honest)

This is equivalent to re-release packages they do in the DVD market. It's a nice set and a buy for those who are collectors or like me don't have all the games.

If you could just dump it on BD and run it, then sure! But somehow I think there would be some extra work to do, and as a result, it would not be a good ROI.

Man that pack looks awesome, I would totally hit it up if it dropped her in the US.

It looks like they are using Sons of Liberty and Snake Eater instead of Substance and Subsistence, why do that?

There's a collector's edition of MGS4? :eek: But yes, I agree with this. It would be so ****ING AWESOME!

I am a huge MGS whore, I buy everything MGS related, and I'm surprised by everyone's reaction to that picture... I thought it looks very underwhelming, just black and silver? I need to see a closer picture from another angle before I splooge.

They obviously think it's worth it to release a sequel that costs hell knows how much more to make than what I suggested. It would take a whole of 3 interns to port MGS1 to PS3 using their existing MGS4 engine, especially if they don't even have to redo textures or anything else. Or at least they could make it available as part of the PSN store, which is just an ISO wrapper, and which in itself would be a nice addition to this Anniversary pack, done with zero effort. Or if they're so concerned with PS3 sales, at the very least port MGS1 to PS2 using their existing engine, again without even redoing any assets.

The way I see it, it almost isn't worth it to release it the way it is, to be honest, only the low price makes it worthy.

That's the thing. This is a low price bundle that even includes Portable Ops, which was released only half a year ago. You shouldn't expect Konami to actually redo any coding in any of the games for this price low price while maintaining the integrity of this awesome package. It makes no sense whatsoever.

YESDOWANTOMGYES.

The voice over at one point refers to Snake as: "The legendary hero that saved the world, but also called a criminal who destroyed the world."

Interesting ...

edit: oops, at first I thought they were talking about the new old snake, not Big Boss :p

MGS3 spoiler:
"The taint of disgrace will follow her to her grave. Future generations will revile her. In America, as a despicable traitor with no sense of honor. And in Russia, as a monster who unleashed a nuclear catastrophe. She will go down in official history as a war criminal. And no one will ever understand her. That... was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through the end." I think MGS4 will clear things up on Big Boss and we will finally find out what his true motives were for Outer Heaven. Maybe he was not a traitor after all.

Translation:
I came across him in a town in the Middle East.

However prosperous it once had been, the town was now engulfed in war.

It was a pointless conflict between PMC mercenaries and local militia fighters.

War had since become a commodity in a marketplace governed by immense capital.

Amid this stood a man who fought alone and for himself.

An aged warhorse.

Solid Snake.

Formerly known as a hero who saved the world, he was now labeled a criminal who'd brought it to ruin.

Though tired of battle, he returned to the fight.

His aim was to put an end to his cursed blood.

To him, this was his atonement.

Solid Snake, senescent soldier.

What secrets lie in that blood?
