Metal Gear Solid Trilogy HD

[hairlesswookiee]

I couldn't wait until Xmas so I picked up a copy tonight and started playing MGS3 a few minutes ago. Will probably follow it up with Peace Walker, MGS1, and MGS2.

Jus got an email from Zavvii about the Ultimate collection

The whole thing has changed.

This Limited Edition box contains the following:

Copy of MGS HD Collection
Variant MGS HD Collection Steelbook
MGS T-Shirt, exclusive to this Limited Edition
250 page premium art book showcasing the artwork of Yoshi Shinkawa

So it closer to the U.S edition

also those who pre-ordered get MGS4 platinum for free instead :no . This leads me to believe itll be more widely available

what you guys think of this new version?

Well, at least now you know for certain that it isn't canceled . But, from the updated discription, they didn't mention about each game having an edition number. Are they now mass producing this edition? You should probably ask them (I'd like to know, myself).

But, I love the steel case and t-shirt! The art book looks the same as the U.S. edition.

 

[ZombieRepublican]

Yeah i emailed the already should get a reply in a couple days.

But it does indeed look exactly like the American one, Ill just have that confirmed so i don't have to keep chasing it up :S
(Although I like the Art on the American cover better than the 3 colour thing goin on there)

Its also possible that there will be a standard Limited edition like the U.S's as well as this Zavvi special edition. Im dissapointed that its not an ultimate cllection with MGS 1,2,3 and 4 but oh well

 

[Solidus]

Yeah, it's strange how they won't include a voucher for MGS 1. But, you can always download it on the PSN.

It seems like all of the HD releases look the same. I was thinking about getting the Konami Style edition, but after seeing how the box art is similar to the U.S. edition, I didn't even bother (it didn't seem worth the $170).

I'm happy for you man. You'll be able to get a LE without paying the ridiculous after market price . Do let me know if there are going to be any more cool, limited U.K. versions available. I would love to get my hands on another different copy of the LE.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Great news!! Like I said it still shows my order in the account information page so I was keeping my fingers crossed.

~~Lol...I just checked my email, and I received one from Zaavi about my order. Basically just information about my pre-order being updated to the new "package" and that I'll be rewarded with MGS4 for the inconvenience/confusion.

 

[SOLIDSNAKE]

finnaly got my LE.

I will unbox it monday. too dam busy this weekend putting x-mas stuff up lol.

I finally finished up Snake Eater last night. Such an awesome game. I'm going to start Peace Walker this weekend and when I finish that one I'll progress through MGS 1,2,4

Sounds good, but I'd actually recommend playing the games in order of release (not chronological order). Peace Walker just made a lot more sense to me when I played it after MGS 4. I had a deeper understanding of what Big Boss was talking about in his conversation with Solid Snake in MGS 4.

 

[Solidus]

Got my order in for the Zavvi World PS3 HD Edition! Dispatch date is on March 3rd - perfect timing, right near spring break!

Edit: February 2nd. Even better.

Got my order in just now. But...

I was extremely excited so see it was available again that I put my order in immediately. But now that I know the set has been changed I'm quite disappointed and may turn around and cancel it!

No MG1!

No MG4! Platinum version or whatever...

Probably not limited to 4,000 or individually numbered anymore either! Now there's a 360 version so yeah, way more than 4,000.

Why would Konami take away a lot of what made this so special!?

The artbook sounds cool but a shirt! Really!

This set went from a special collectible for the MGS fan to meh!

Don't get me wrong, it's still cool to a degree, but meh!

 

[Solidus]

I just noticed something in the Zavvi PS3 site that I didn't see yesterday. Under the "More Details" section, it now describes:

Certificate:

TBC

So, it looks as if they'll be offering a "certificate" instead of a numbered steel case. Or, perhaps it'll just be a generic sticker plastered onto somewhere at the back (I hope not). Anyway, what does "TBC" even stand for?

Nice review, Metal Gear Solid Ray! . Congrats on getting the PS3 HD Limited Edition. It was really limited in New York as well. All of the Gamestop stores were sold out on release night (oddly, it was the same night as MW3 ), and a lot of folks never even got their pre-orders fulfilled. The PS3 version, at least, is very, very rare. The X-Box 360 one is still available on Gamestop.com. This leads me to believe that X-Box 360 users (in general) aren't nearly as enthusiastic about getting MGS on their system, as everyone thought .

Yeah, this set isn't nearly as "special" as it was several months ago, as the edition number has been increased from 4000 to 13000. But, that's still a pretty low number, if you ask me. There are hundreds of thousands of MGS fans around the globe, and being able to get 1 of the 13000 editions is still pretty nice.

Yeah man, after I had some time to dwell on it since yesterday I decided that I will definitely be keeping it.

I thought I had gotten lucky being able to score 1 after they had been sold out. And since I was SO disappointed to originally miss out on it I became a bit ecstatic.

Then when I found out about the change I went from an extreme high, to an extreme low and needed to rant.

But being a collectors edition type of guy, I realise that this is still an awesome deal.

I also realise that if this change didn't occur, It probably would still be sold out and I wouldn't get one.

I don't have the artbook and I really enjoy steel book cases.

If this was marketed like this originally and never changed, I'm sure I still would have bought it. Towards the end of last night disappointment wore off and I started to get really excited about owning this set.

And your right 13,000 isn't a lot compared to the total amount of MGS enthusiasts out there. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for both versions to sell out.

Or more interestingly, how long it takes the 360 version to sell out.
