I just got mine today, and I have to say I was pretty pleased. I was going to pass on picking one up, but I happened to be in the mall today with some spare time on my hands, and I figured why the hell not.
Not only does the DVD have a very interesting (and beautifully crafted) recap of some of the major characters and events in the history of MGS, it also has all of the trailers so far released for MGS4, some of which I hadn't seen before. The cover art for the DVD is just plain beautiful by the way. Its like a work of art.
Coupled with the fact that it comes with a Metal Gear Onine beta code, this is totally worth it, and I recommend it to everyone simply for the DVD even if you plan on cancelling your pre-order and buying it elsewhere (like me, I will be in a different city on June 12th). The DVD is quite good and you won't regret going to your local Gamestop or wherever to get a copy.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
