For those of you who may have missed out on the Metal Gear saga, you’ll be pleasantly happy to know that Konami plans on releasing the Metal Gear Solid: Essential Collection box set for the PlayStation 2 console. This is without a doubt a way to help boost even further interest into the future release of Metal Gear Solid 4 later this year.
Konami has announced that in this set you’ll be getting the original PlayStation Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance (Directors Cut), and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence (Directors Cut). These will be packaged together for the low price of $29.99. The artwork for the box will be done by MGS series artist, Yoji Shinkawa.
There has yet to be an official release date for this bundle set, however, big time retailer GameStop has it set for a mid-March release. This will give all of you newcomers to the gaming world a chance to see and experience what has made this franchise what it is today.
UPDATE: It is now being reported from PALGN that Australia will more than likely not be receiving this collection of Metal Gear Solid games. According to Atari, who distributes Konami games in Australia, "At this stage there are no plans to release the collection here".
It's looking like a bad day down under.

thank you! as a big MGS fan i unofortunately never got to play the original(wasn't interested in mgs at that age) and i think it is going to be the twin snakes version. because this was posted on N4G.com and they showed a screenshot from that game.

So this is one of the three Kojima projects to release this summer. (Ryan Payton announcement, remember?)
This is great though, since I wasn't into the MGS series until now. I'm glad Sony started bundling all these different series in 3-packs for $30. (DMC, MoH, RE)

Hopefully they take the time and make the original look better.

www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=4755645 This link will guide you through the EASY process of getting a brand new retail Playstation 3! Here is how it works! First and foremost this is NOT like those other offers you see all over the web, where you are required to sign up for a million "free" offers that end up taking forever and costing you a bunch of money and a headache. You click this link and sign up for their referral program. With this program you are required to participate in only ONE of their sponsor's offers, the one I chose was the yahoo success kit, which only cost $1.95. That’s all I have paid so far! Once you sign up for your ONE required offer you use the link they provide you and post it on forums, or send it to friends, and if someone uses that link to sign up and complete one offer of their own, you get a referral. Here is the cost breakdown of the referral system. 8 Referrals = New retail 40gb PS3 10 Referrals = New retail 60gb PS3 12 Referrals = New retail 80gb PS3 and ONE game of your choice 14 Referrals = New retail 80gb Ps3 and two games YOU CHOSE (includes new releases like Uncharted: Drake's Fortune or Ratchet and Clank Future etc…) Plus many more PS3 offers and others including up to $475 in CASH I have been a member for 3 days and have 10 completed referrals on my account, well on my way to my chosen 14 (Already enough for a 60gb or 40gb PS3). I also have 250 people, who have signed up; if any 4 of them complete an offer I have my Ps3 and two games. It can take up to 3 days for a completed offer to process, so I may have already reached my goal. The company even covers shipping and handling so there is no hidden costs of ANY KIND. This website even has you create an account so you can track your progress the entire way through, and once your package ships, they supply a UPS tracking link. It is extremely user friendly I recommend you research this company online, as they are proven legitimate and not in any way a scam. EGM magazine actually did a story on them 2 years ago to see if they were legit and did in fact get a free system, so they proved it worked! The way it is possible is these sponsor's pay this company money for referring people to them, and using a portion of that money, buy you a PS3 as an incentive for helping them advertise. It is a pretty nice scheme, but it results in me getting something for free so I don't care. This will be my third free thing to get from this company; I have a 360 elite and iPhone for the cost of about 5 dollars. Enjoy your free system, free isn't a bad deal for a great console and a Blu-Ray player! www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=4755645
