A true Metal Gear fan will put this next to their Snake figures and sword lamp.

i have the artbook from the HD collection which is awesome.
and the sword lamp which i got for 50 dollars after they went down in price

an arm just looks lame though especially a half scale arm. up there with halo 3s cat helmet lol

 

[KORNdoggy]

i do kind of like the articulated hand. and if i can get it cheaper via offer codes or something i may bite. but it's a tad much imo.

 

[JoJoSono]

That's a shame about the CE. I kind of want that extra disc, but I really don't want a stupid arm. I wish it was like MGS HD's CE and came with a really nice artbook.

Think about it this way. Between the Halo helmet and the MGS arm, you're 2/5ths of the way to having a bionic cat.

No wonder the pricing is so bad. That GAME excusive tax.

GAME need to fucking die and rot. I curse any and all who buy anything from them.

Not necessarily. The Bloodborne CE is in their Only at Game section and that is available elsewhere. I phoned shopto earlier and they said they'd be trying to get some and that I should keep an eye on their website. Not willing to pre-order with GAME if I can get it elsewhere.

 

[SamuraiX-]

So the Japanese CE comes with Shinkawa art.

Yeah, for real. Figures US and EU get boned again. Also, fuck not even having a Shinkawa designed cover for the Collector's Edition. Even MGS4 got that right.

The best news to come out of this announcement is that TPP will be out on Steam on September 15th. Waiting less than 3 weeks compared to almost a year for Ground Zeroes almost makes up for this lame limited edition business.

 

[kingwingin]

I'm sold

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

So where can I import the Japanese Special Edition?

 

[oti]

The hand is so dumb.

 

[zychi]

The hand is so dumb.

until its the main character of mgs and has actually been in the series all along

LIQUID OCELOT!

 

[Northeastmonk]

The hand is so dumb.

It's symbolic. Where did symbolism go all of a sudden? We'd go crazy if this was Bayonetta's hair thong or something.

 

[DOWN]

These limited consoles would look better without the game logos on them. Minimalism, guys.

Yep. It loses theme and instead gets dated product branding by putting the title of the actual game on it.

 

[BrianRoyale]

Was hoping for a real cardboard box that I could use around the house that had a sexy lady on it.

 

[brandonh83]

The collector's edition will live on through this arm.

 

[F-Pina]

This looks great.
Was hoping for an edition with Ground Zeroes included though.

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

I can't wait to have my own MECHANICAL ARM! I could bother the crap out my dog with it, and watch him bite at it!

I could tap people on the shoulder with it, and when they turn around UTTER CONFUSION!

I could high five it when I need an extra hand to high five besides my two hands!

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!

 

[R-User!]

Was hoping for a real cardboard box that I could use around the house that had a sexy lady on it.

That would have been hilarious and fitting

[Byron Bluth]

No NA preorders yet?

 

[TwoDurans]

So what's the over/under on how many Diamond Dogs tattoos will be in the world between 9/1 and 9/30?

1,000? 10,000?

 

[Renta]

No NA preorders yet?

We don't have to panic. These aren't like amiibos.


Right?

 

[packy34]

We don't have to panic. These aren't like amiibos.


Right?

Metal Gear CE's have traditionally been very limited, so I'm not taking any chances. I hope preorders go live soon.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

SOMEONE NEEDS TO ANALYSE DAT MAP!!! Looks like Afghanistan anyway from the small thumbnails around it.

 

[careksims]

We don't have to panic. These aren't like amiibos.


Right?

Unlike amiibos, it'll be on Amazon and you'll get a chance. CEs like these don't sell out THAT fast.

 

[Renta]

Yeah, it's not like these are $13 a pop

 

[MegaBusta]

We don't have to panic. These aren't like amiibos.


Right?

After experiencing the Amiibo, GC Adapter and N3DS mess I'm now keeping a monitor dedicated to twitter, this thread and the retailers pages refreshing for the CE. I think I might need help.

 

[foxtrot3d]

 

[Ridley327]

Unlike amiibos, it'll be on Amazon and you'll get a chance. CEs like these don't sell out THAT fast.

While I don't think it'll sell out that quickly, it's not wise to dally on a Konami CE, particularly for MGS.

 

[Harmen]

Not fond of the hand thing myself, so I'll skip this one.

 

[Anth0ny]

I was looking forward to an MGSV collectors edition, and was kinda expecting something closer to the MGS4 CE:

No Shinkawa art? A bunch of crap that takes up space? I'll pass.

 

[oti]

It's symbolic. Where did symbolism go all of a sudden? We'd go crazy if this was Bayonetta's hair thong or something.

But it's a hand.
Bayonetta wig would be dumb too.

 

[Ridley327]

I love everything about the MGS4 CE other than the way they did the case. The split hurts the artwork.

 

[tensuke]

Really don't wanna miss my chance to order this. Some CEs/LEs last forever, some last an hour...Hoping this at least gives me within the day it goes up for sale, but with that arm I'd say it'll be pretty limited.

 

[TwoDurans]

No Shinkawa art? A bunch of crap that takes up space? I'll pass.

Cover art could be reservable like it was in GZ

 

[Darryl M R]

Was planning on picking up the game, I guess I will buy it on the first day for the Day One edition. I'm hoping Best Buy does a $10 reward for pre-ordering this.

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

I need the japanese version..where to buy for import?

I was not going to ge this yet, but damn..

 

[atr0cious]

Huh?

If you preordered Subsistence you got a 2 disc set called the MGS Saga:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iR9cGkt5FK8

Then if you got the collector's edition, you got a disc set that played the entirety of MGS3 as if it were a movie. It put the cutscenes together and added pictures and narrative in place of the gameplay.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76Rj-FcLRow

To tell the truth, I only got like half way through watching it before passing out. Gameplay truly does matter.

 

[loaf of bread]

Reversable steelcase?

 

[Darksol]

Saving for my schooling and moving to Japan next year, otherwise I'd be all over this.

 

[robotrock]

Reversable steelcase?

MGR rising CE came with a steelbook and the regular game in plastic case. Sure they'll do the same thing here.

 

[AwayFromInfinityx]

Getting that collectors edition.

I want that bionic arm.

 

[Woffls]

Pre-ordered the CE on Xbox One and PS4 because I don't know which version I'll be playing yet. The hand thing is dumb, though.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

I already gave my arm to....

damn it, your edit ruined my verizon joke iRAWR

I kind of like the arm, but I'm sure the quality is going to be garbage. Wouldn't mind a $70 version with steelbook and DLC.

Haha sorry, that stealth edited

 

[loaf of bread]

MGR rising CE came with a steelbook and the regular game in plastic case. Sure they'll do the same thing here.

I know, but Shinkawa on the steel book would be better.

 

[Northeastmonk]

But it's a hand.
Bayonetta wig would be dumb too.

It's still symbolic. It symbolizes a push beyond a norm and a fight they are using to benefit themselves. Bayonetta uses her wit and beauty and Big Boss is using his arm. It isn't his weakness.

 

[Live Free or Die]

buying both.

 

[Shauni]

I wish there was an in-between edition that had all the content without the hand model. I don't know, it just looks lame as hell to me.

 

[TwoDurans]

Reversable steelcase?

Well no, I meant the standard edition. Though I guess any steelcase can be reversible if you apply enough pressure.
