Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence

The game is due out in a couple weeks, in both a regular and limited edition. The LE has a ridiculous amount of extras that more than justifies a second purchase.

http://metalgear.neoseeker.com/metal...nce_features_/

http://metalgear.neoseeker.com/metal...nce_features_/

And reserving will net you Metal Gear Saga, a DVD that features cutscenes from all the MGS games, as a sort of movie summary.

I reserved the LE last week, but I was told that I wouldn't receive the Metal Gear Saga disc until the game comes out. Gamestop says they now have a policy of not giving out preorder bonuses before the game is out, as they claim customers would cancel their reserves after obtaining the free bonus. It makes sense, but it also sucks. I just hope they don't forget to include it when I purchase the LE.

So who's looking forward to this? What kind of name are you planning to use for the online game? I want to use something Kojima related, but I'm sure most of the MGS names and terms will be snatched up quickly. That said, I do have a clever name in mind, but I won't reveal it until the game is out.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

lol, you mispelled Subsistence. As for the LE, according to my local EB games they only had the regular edition listed, so I couldn't pre-order that. However, on their website they've listed the contents of the LE's third disc as being apart of the RE (the "Demo Theater Mode - Watch All In-Game Movies from MGS3 similar to a theatrical movie." is what's on the third disc, Existence).

http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/259834.asp

Anyway, right now I'm hoping just that when it comes time to pick up my copy that I'll be able to switch to the LE (assuming that they have any left). Otherwise, it looks like I'll be shopping around town for a copy.


BTW, seeing as how this is still a PS2 only game, shouldn't this be in the Sony forums?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I worried about that when I went to pre-order the game, but they asked if I wanted to reserve the standard or limited edition. I was glad I didn't have to tell them of the LE's existence.

I thought about that, but the series hasn't been completely PS2 exclusive. I don't think it matters either way, but if the mods want to move it, so bet it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I just picked up my copy of Saga. Pretty damn interesting too, especially what Kojima has to say about The Boss.

I reserved my copy of the LE at the beginning of the month at GameStop.com. I know some people are picking up their Saga DVDs from GameStop and EBgames stores and preorders stopped for the LE version about a week ago.

Apparently preorders for the regular edition are coming to a halt now too.

I was speaking idiomatically.

And that's what bugs me. They aren't enforcing that stupid rule hard enough. I worry that by the time I get the game, I'll get a stupid reply like "oops, sorry we're out of the Saga DVD, you should have checked with us earlier". They promise I'll get one with the game, but maybe I should go check...

The whole "No bonus before game release" could just be a local store enforcing that rule and not the actual instructions of the nationwide company.

Your best bet is to stop by there as soon as you can and enquire about it since various people from East to West coast have been picking up their copies of Saga.

Ok, im a little confused about the limited edition. The website shows a limited edition with a red cover: http://www.konami.jp/gs/game/mgs3_su...ica/index.html

And the gamestop website even had it up, but now its gone. Now theres only one version with a "bonus disc offer" if preordred. So is the extra disc the same disc that the bonus offer is refering to?

I totally forgot that this would include the original versions of Metal Gear. Guess I'll pre-order it after all.

I am also curious about the red cover edition. Again, it's stupid as hell how the game is limited in two regards. They just should have kept the third disc as part of the regular release. I don't want to order the game, only to get the crappy bonus interview disc that holds no meaning, and not the movie disc.

How ya doing, buddy?

Basically, they stopped taking pre-orders for the LE version at most places.

It really is "limited" now.

In other news, I pre-ordered the LE before the cut-off and picked up my Saga disc yesterday.

Oh, so it's impossible to get the movie disc now, right.

That's ok, I'll just download it. Konami just saved me money.

Ok I just picked up the disc too. Its cool, but youre not missing much. Its a regular DVD, so a rip will show up soon I imagine. Its basically a little overview of the whole series with Hideo Kojima giving a couple of insights about how the game was made and such. Some E3 trailers as well. Again, probably not much here a Metal Gear fan doesnt already know.

*btw, im referring to the "bonus pre-order disc"*

Yup, I tried warning of this with the opening of the temporary forums, but I don't think many got the message. The Limited Edition with the red box is essentially the one that will be most rare, and include the Existance disk. It looks like ebgames.com and gamestop.com stopped taking pre-orders for the LE on or around 2-19... Hope for eBay for those who can't preorder...

I've been hearing from random people that none of the LE are being shipped to any EBs in Canada, but Hantei makes it sound like he could get one. I didn't take the risk and got my fiancee in NY to preorder it for me, actually just did it the other day, got the last preorder, and they gave her the DVD right then and there, so that's good stuff.

Whoa, I was under the assumption we'd be getting the LE as well. But if what you said is true then that could probably be why they didn't have it listed on their computers...

In anycase, I made a pre-order of the LE with Play-Asia about a week ago. Just a backup plan incase I couldn't find it at Wal-Mart, or some other department store, and incase EB didn't have enough for me to upgrade.

How ya doing, buddy?

Yeah Canada, at least EB stores, won't be carrying the LE version unfortunately. Here most EBgames and GameStop stores have already stopped taking preorders for not only the LE version but also the regular edition too.

Meanwhile the US Subsistence website updated:

That red cover makes me hope it's a cardboard box outer with the regular edition box on the inside.

Oh well, if it bothers me that much, there's always the bargain bin months down the line.

Damn, well at least I know now, I'll still check Wal-Mart just incase. In anycase, glad I made an order with Play-Asia. Guess I'll stop by later in the week to pick up the pre-order bonus and cancel the pre-order itself.

So the limited edition is the red box there is no other color for the LE? I got mine pre orderd last month and picked up my bonus dvd from Gamestop over the weekend. It's really cool although we know most of the stuff they say its just fun watching anything Metal Gear related =]

I wanted to pick up that Saga DVD, but my local EB games didn't get it. Apparently, they don't get many preorder incentives. I knew it wasn't much, but the documentary style of the DVD made it seem cooler than it really was.

The Saga DVD is quite good for MG fans, and for a free bonus anyways. Kojima discusses the Metal Gear series and talks about dropped concepts and whatnot including this little bit about what would of been the final fight with The Boss...












Kojima also talks about MGS4 which will address and provide answers for...
Spoiler:
Vamp's immortality, The Patriots, Olga's baby, and Liquid's arm controlling Ocelot.
