I really need to finish my paper before getting the game...

 

[kIdMuScLe]

wow... did the ps3 limited edition sold out or what? i can't find it on amazon. =(

 

[Gouda Jouji]

For the Kiwis, and I guess Aussies too, I sent an inquiry to Mighty Ape (New Zealand's version of Amazon kinda) to see if they'll stock the PS3 NTSC version of the HD Collection. I got this back:

Thanks for your message

I have spoken to our Product Manager about this and he informed me that we may have an issue with classification at this stage, that's why we aren't importing the US edition at this stage.

We will get the imported version up onsite as soon as we know that they aren't going to be any issues

So there's a chance they could end up selling it. Might be cheaper than ordering from Amazon, which I'll probably end up doing if Mighty Ape can't get it.

There is a reason why it's called a Limited Edition, especially the day before release.

Erm, have you tried this?

yea i know... but the x360 version is still up and available for order. =/

I completely forgot about Play-Asia, that's definitely an option.

We've updated the region compatibility for Metal Gear Solid HD Collection on Xbox 360. Unfortunately it doesn't work on PAL consoles, but US and NTSC-J will work fine.

[Amagon]

Well, Amazon charge me for the LE just now, so there is a good chance that it will be ship accordingly to the release date besides that Nov 14 shipping date they promise.

Spoiler

I hope

Fudge!

 

[cacophony]

So is this going to be $50 or $40? Cause on Amazon it was $40 but got pushed up to $50. Aren't all other HD remakes $40 too?

NO!!!

FUCK NO!!!!

So depressing.

I hate PAL delays in general, but when we get delayed AND there is not Limited Edition or anything like that (which I'm sure will happen ala Catherine) I get really pissed off

Think of it as a way to save the extra money you would have normally wasted on a bunch of art books and plastic dolls you wouldn't have looked at more than once.

 

[infinityBCRT]

Oh, I was thinking of this:

Greatest boss fight ever.

Was expected fom Konami (check out other 360 release from them)
Thank god I own a jp system

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow gave me hope.

MGS HD was only an artbook, and I like the artist.

But yeah, I guess you're right. Importing it from the UK or something (I'm in Australia) will save me more than 60%. Albeit much later on.

 

[Nemesis_]

whoops double

 

[Hitoribhoshi]

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow gave me hope.

True, but I think most 360 Konami games are locked out PAL when us or jp release, kinda like Namco Bandai, Atlus or Aksys.

Also, we can probably expect the same thing for ZOE HD Collection (but I'll probably get the jp version anyways...)

 

[leng jai]

Kinda sad that we still haven't had anything confirmation what size the art book is. Funny if we all get trolled.

 

[FCMaxi]

If the size of the box cover is any indication, looks like coffee table size to me.

 

[Emily Chu]

anyone rememeber that Snake Eater swamp area that was like 7 fps ?

how does it look now ?

full game LOCKED at a solid 60 or drops @ random places ?

Amazon had pics...btw I just got charged.

 

[Natiko]

Glad I got in on the $39.99 deal, can't wait to actually get my hands on this. A shame it's coming out at such a busy time, won't be able to give it my full attention.

I just got charged as well.

 

[TxdoHawk]

So is this going to be $50 or $40? Cause on Amazon it was $40 but got pushed up to $50. Aren't all other HD remakes $40 too?

MSRP is $50, but there were lots of $40 deals going around. If you have a Fry's near you, they are apparently selling both versions for $40, so you can still get in on that.

 

[Urishizu]

Just a side note to the above discussion about being charged. My X360 LE on Amazon is now listed as "Shipping Soon".

 

[icespide]

mine isn't shipping soon yet but still says delivery estimate November 10th

 

[soldat7]

Delivery Estimate: November 16, 2011 - November 21, 2011
Not yet shipped

They better not pull this "Sorry, we're out of stock" business on me. I pre-ordered the second this became available on Amazon.

Could be a low/late print, like Amazon.co.uk & DC2, they didn't get stock until a week after the release date.

[Dunk#7]

Does anybody know if any stores or online retailers will be having another buy 2 get 1 free in the next couple of weeks?

I want to get:

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (PS3)
Resistance 3 (PS3)
Battlefield 3 (360)


Hoping to get all of these for the price of two

Yeah, I hope so. Just emailed Amazon. I'd hate to not get a copy (PS3 Limited Ed.)

 

[Shadow780]

Ha, forgot I pre-ordered @ Newegg when the $10 OFF deal was on, so I probably won't get it tomorrow.

 

[GoncaloCCastro]

Mine has shipped, will post pics when I have it!

 

[tomvek]

What's included in the limited edition?

 

[Salaadin]

What's included in the limited edition?

Fancy cover and a nice as hell artbook. Nothing else.

 

[Tadale]

Have any impressions from the 360 version been posted? I'd like to know how it controls and looks.

 

[omgkitty]

Cancelled my LE preorder last night. I honestly just couldn't justify $30 for an art book.

 

[Kandrick]

Mine shipped too, meaning i will get it tomorrow. Screw waiting for the PAL release.

I never played any MGS other than the first one back in the day, and i have MGS 4 sitting here unplayed as well. I expect to have my mind blown.

Haha I guess you could. I just have never cared about art books though. I love the Metal Gear art, but actually sitting around reading it just seems dumb to me.

Your mind will be blown! Especially with MGS 2.

 

[strafer]

dat collection

 

[Noisepurge]

Well true in a sense i guess, i never extended my collection to include artbooks, soundtracks, figures etc etc.

But i am a sucker for a limited edition of a game, hence the LE of this collection was a no brainer. Especially when i got the help of a fellow Gaffer in acquiring it.

I used to be, but when I started realizing I wasn't using anything out of these LE's, and most of them just come with crap, I stopped buying them, especially now since they seem to keep getting more and more expensive. The last LE I bought and really liked was the original Bioshock with the Big Daddy statue.
