Forums - Sony - Metal Gear Solid Collection...Quick Question

I went to ebgames yesterday to purchase the Metal Gear Solid Essential Collection and the managaer told me not to bother with it since i already had all of the games. I was really buying it becuase i believed it was Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance and Metal Gear Solid 3 Substience or how every you spell that. I wanted it for the special feature included with those games. Is is true that they are just the metal gear solid 2  and metal gear solid 3 and they arent the special versions. Also i heard that the Metal Gear Solid 1 is the playstation 1 disc so wouldnt i need the orignal Playstation 1 memory card?

Thanks for any responses

They are the special versions. You will need a PS1 memory card unless you are playing it on the PS3.



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

 ***edit:  beaten to it

The Essential Collection will compile the original PlayStation edition of Metal Gear Solid along with Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, both "director's cut" versions of the PS2 games.

The games do include Substance and Subsistence, contrary to what the clerk may have told you (he's an idiot). As for Metal Gear Solid 1, since it is a ps1 disk, I would assume that you would need a ps1 memory card.

I heard from a friend who bought the collection that MGS3 Subsistence only comes with 1 disc, not two. I'm not sure if all the extra content is in all one disc.

The package does not include MGS3: Subsistence's second disc, so you don't get the (now defunct) MGO nor MGS1/2.

As for the main discs form MGS2/3, I'm not sure if they come with just the Substance/Subsistence versions of the actual game, or whether they come with the other extra features as well.

VR and all extra features are included in MGS 2 but not 1 and 3.

 On a side note, the clerk from my gamestop told me that the US chains of  EB games and Gamestop recieved over 1 million pre orders of MGS4 in 4 days. Does anyone know if its true?
