Maybe you can switch the language? I have pre-ordered it anyway so let's wait and see.
On the other hand, The Magic Box is reporting that this is coming to the PSP as well:
Konami will release Metal Gear Solid 2: Digital Graphic Novel for PSP in Japan on June 12, 2008
No foreign sky protected me,
No stranger's wing shielded my face.
I stand as witness to the common lot,
survivor of that time, that place.
