MGS2 is the Substance version which has the VR Missions and some other goodies, so it's better to own than the original one. Also the MGS3 is Subsistence but doesn't really have any of the extras since the original Subsitence had 2 discs, the second one holding all the good stuff. Still the Essential Collection is a godsend with its 30 pricetag especially if : you've never played any of the previous games or don't have a copy of MGS1 (which is the main reason why I bought it, although I had the original MGS2 which doesn;t have the extras the Substance version in the Collection has so it was a good bonus).

Yep, its the same game but MGS2 has all the extras, MGS3 has none of the extras, and you get MGS1 which is kinda hard to find a cheap original one. All three come with special new artwork made just for the collection too, which is a cool bonus. Its a steal at 30 bucks.

MGS1 has been on the Japanese PSN for a while, I think. Perhaps only a matter of time before it goes to other PSNs...

You forgot to mention that MGS3: Subsistence has a new, BETTER, camera. You'll love it over the original. The camera in MGS3 was pretty annoying, especially for a certain boss fight. UGH! :P

If you have a Gamecube or Wii, get Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes which is basically, MGS1. The only downside is that it's rare and it cost at least $50 used. But the graphics are right up there with PS2's MGS2: Sons of Liberty. I say, it's worth it. I just purchased one myself so I can replay it. It's just me, I cant stand PSone graphics. PSone games dont age well but PS2 games still look awesome till this day.

The problem wont be the space used to make an Xbox 360 version. I'm sure it will take 4-5 DVDs to fit MGS4. The true problem lies in the console's engine. The PS3 as you well know uses the cell engine. Kojima stated that it would be very hard to port MGS4 over to the 360 or any other system for that matter because the cell engine is, let's say pretty complicated to use. It would be like making the game from scratch again. They're thinking about it but I highly doubt it. Kojima is going to take a nice long, well deserved rest and ponder about making games of his other series. Although, his team might make Metal Gear or Metal Gear Solid games, with him being somewhat involved - most likely taking the back seat. As for me, I prefer that MGS4 stay exclusive. It's the way the series should end.

I just bought it and I LOVE IT! I'm glad I'm a Metal Gear fan now. I thought that was weird about MGS3. I wanted to hunt the monkeys... :( Oh well, it's a great game regardless.
