@Faxanadu:
It's actually pretty close. You fight Psycho Mantis, who can read you're thoughts, and you can't beat him and you die again and again, until finally Otacon tells you "if you plug your controller into the other port, he might not be able to read your thoughts" (or something like that--it's been a while). Pretty similar to Otacon telling you "you have to change discs." Though of course without the thing about the might of Blue Ray, but it's still a serious brekaing of the fourth wall and reminder you're playing a video game.
My consoles and the fates they suffered:
Atari 7800 (Sold), Intellivision (Thrown out), Gameboy (Lost), Super Nintendo (Stolen), Super Nintendo (2nd copy) (Thrown out by mother), Nintendo 64 (Still own), Super Nintendo (3rd copy) (Still own), Wii (Sold)
A more detailed history appears on my profile.
