For those of you telling me that I need to play the others:

1. How long are those games in hrs approximately?
2. Should I take back MGS4 for now? I haven't opened it, but my mom got off of an online store (I think for $20 off), so I'd have to mail it back in... and I can't trade it in to GS, because I know I'd get ripped off for it...
3. Should I just keep it?

What should I do?

1. MGS1 I would recommend a play thru. It should take you 8 hours or less. It's a great game. You can get it and play it on the PS3 cause it is a PS1 game and all PS3 games can play PS1 games.

2. Keep it.

3. Yes
