damn it, i dont want to buy mgs3 for the third time

 

[xxracerxx]

Where are you guys ordering this? I can't find it on Amazon.

 

[cann3dheat]

Is that 11/8 NA release date that's floating around final, or is it still up in the air?

 

[Wario64]

I posted the link in OP.

 

[autobzooty]

is it possible to get release date shipping for something like this on amazon? i've never done that before and I don't wanna have to wait a few extra days just because i wanted the limited edition.

 

[Digital-Hero]

Minute I saw the 248 page artbook, I screamed "fuuuucking BOUUUUGHT!!!!!"

I still have my MGS3:Subsistence LE Redbox (^___^)

so yeah, I believe Konami when they say it's "Limited"

And.... that is why I won't be missing this collectors edition.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

An artbook? Fuck that, gimme the Document of MGS2 or something I actually want. Even as a complete MGS whore, I'm not shelling out for this.

 

[Bad_Boy]

*waits for vita version*

 

[Synless]

This is a pretty shitty LE for an extra $30.

 

[xxracerxx]

Thanks Wario, preordered.

Have to wait for them to offer that or not. They've been offering it for all the big releases lately.

Yeah, $30 for an artbook? No thanks

 

[weeaboo]

Still no release date? damn

 

[Wario64]

It's possible that they'll have reversible cover art with the new artwork...right?

 

[xxracerxx]

Still no release date? damn

Says November 8th on Amazon.com.

 

[RedSwirl]

Amazon doesn't charge you until items ship right? Because in the mean time I might still want to pre-order this at a brick & mortar place.

 

[Ellis Kim]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.....!!!

Dammit. I wanted wait out on this. Now I can't

 

[LiK]

Correct.

 

[jackdoe]

Hahahaha. I bet the manual is in B&W and the other side of the cover is white.

-edit-
Assuming there's even a manual.

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

Do want !

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Yeah, $30 for an artbook? No thanks

If it's the same artbook that Japan is getting then it's totally worth it. Damn good price for a real, coffee-table sized artbook.

It's not though, as another poster has pointed out earlier in the thread. Not the same page count to begin with.

 

[spookyfish]

Pre-ordered.

Thanks for the link!

 

[soldat7]

Just transfarred my pre-order to this. I'm such a sucker.

 

[rvy]

Just transfarred my pre-order to this. I'm such a sucker.

Clearly the 60fps sold you on it.

[AAK]

When I saw the thread title, I prayed that it would have included a trophy pack for MGS4... despite how impossible it seems now

 

[soldat7]

Clearly the 60fps sold you on it.

I c wat you did there

 

[SentientStone]

Canada? :/

EDIT: I guess I'll get this one (and maybe the Japanese one to hear those vocals) to play and keep the Steelbook sealed.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

200+ page artbook, nice!

 

[∀ Narayan]

MINE! :O

 

[AuthenticM]

Added right analog stick input and force feedback

What does that mean? The dualshock2 has had a right analog stick since day one. Unless they are singling out Peace Walker. OR UNLESS... Metal Gear Solid 2 has a third-person camera just as Subsistence does? That would be great.

 

[RoboPlato]

Man, I hope I have the money to get this. I need that art book.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

any pre-order link that ships to europe? i think you can't in the amazon one.

 

[TxdoHawk]

Yeah, $30 for an artbook? No thanks

This. Kind of amazing how many people are like "OMG damnit now I have to buy at launch!" Only reason I'd consider it is because these MGS LE's seem to always skyrocket in price later on.

 

[SentientStone]

Not MGS4 LE though, unless I am mistaken as I have not checked it on eBay for a while.

 

[HylianScribe]

Ah man, this looks nice, but I wish there was more of the documentary stuff included like in other previous MGS packages. I'm also worried that next year they'll do a MGS HD Collection Substantial (or some funky name) for Wii U, which has The Twin Snakes included in the bundle.

 

[Wario64]

That feature is clearly talking about Peace Walker.

I would much rather pay for an artbook that I will like than to have to pay for a crappy statuette that most LEs are coming with these days.

This, I really dislike oversized boxes for my LE now as they look horrible on my shelf so it just ends up going into my closet. Give me LEs that still have spines to match my collection please, and preferably not ridiculously big. Things I like: Steelbooks, good art books that are over 100 pages at least, LE better box art ;p, and to a less extent OSTs (since usually they end up being samplers :/). Also love the slipcovers that my Ico / SOTC + Japanese MGS4 LEs are contained in. I really do not like the North American releases' cardboard boxes since I need to open the flap every time and wear out the box with each open... the MGS4 NA LE was a welcomed change with its lift-up box design.

 

[Gameboy415]

I'm extremely tempted but is this actually a Limited Edition?
I bought the Peace Walker LE at full price only to see it readily available and even on sale months later.

 

[Buckethead]

Is each game going to have trophies/achievements?

Or is it going to be like The Orange Box?

 

[Vespa]

Anything Yoji Shinkawa related > Other game LEs. COME AT ME BOSS!

I've got the Zavvi LE on pre-order but it's vague as fuck. I NEED the art book, are the page counts 100% confirmed? (US 248 - JP 450)

Anybody know the best place to order the JP LE for import into EU?

 

[SentientStone]

I am pretty certain each game will have their own respective trophy lists (including platinum trophies) much like the Ico / SOTC Collection since they are being ported by the same developer.

 

[MNC]

Just an artbook and double the price?

 

[Wario64]

Just an artbook and double the price?

Regular edition is $50

It's kind of a toss-up.

The PW LE was actually scarce in the beginning, but yeah, you could find it every so often afterwards. The MGS4 LE seemed to be an actual LE for the most part and finally, the MGS3 Subsistence Red-box was extremely limited.

I think due to PW being on the PSP, it was an LE that just seemed easier to find.

Hope so. No desire to play PW.

Also $80? Will buy.

 

[Berksy]

DAT ART BOOK!

Hope Vita version gets some kinda LE too.
