The official announcement of Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection, a compilation of Hideo Kojima's cinematic stealth triology trilogy for PlayStation 2, marks the second time a recent Konami rumor has become reality. Given the consistently fortuitous circumstances, we thought you should know that it's been rumored that Konami has mailed us a check for a million billion dollars. While we await the confirmation cha-ching, we'll remind you that in exchange for $29.99, The Essential Collection offers the PlayStation classic, Metal Gear Solid, the "director's cut" of infamous rug puller, Metal Gear Solid 2, and finally, the culinary delight that is Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence. It'll keep you out of trouble until Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots arrives later this year. Update: We've confirmed a March 18th release date with Konami. Also noteworthy is that while the collection will include the Substance and Subsistence games, they will be without their respective bonus discs.

$30 MGS + the 2 premium editions of the sequels

It's just a shame only one of them was worth playing more than once.

It isn't my fault the two of you enjoy shit, there's absolutely nothing to like about MGS2 or 3.

Though I guess I'll allow Stren the nostalgia of 3 having to do with the Cold War - something I know is near and dear to his heart.

MGS3 would've been great if they axed the whole recovery system... it really got annoying and slowed the pace of the game down to a crawl, I think MGS3 had some of the most varied gameplay in the series due to its mostly organic environments and diverse assortment of tools... but damn opening the menu and suturing your wounds, disinfecting them, etc really got on my nerves after like the 10th time :P

1 is still definitely my favorite, although I didn't quite like the 'Cube remake of it.
