Is this the original release of MGS3? I ask because there's so many re-releases of game (greatest hits, PSone book, MGS anniversary, etc) and I want the first edition version of it.

Judging by the cover i'd say yes; However - I cant be fully sure as retailers arnt showing the CERO rating on the images.

If you want to research then the code is SLPM-65790. Also AFAIK, The only releases of MGS3 in Japan are the first one, The shareholders one and The 20th Anniversary one [And then theres the Subsistences]

Thanks for the info, yeah I think after doing some digging it is the original. It just gets confusing because these games get re-released so many times. I can think of another game series where one of the titles will have ('ll use Japanese MGS3 as an example):

MGS3
MGS3 Subsistence
MGS3 Subsistence deluxe headset version
MGS3 premium package
MGS3 20th Anniversery edition (not in the 20th Ann collection, but a seperate release)
MGS20th Anniveset Collection (part of the set)
MGS3 shareholder

And possibly a "Greatest hit" type version and I think there might be a subsistene LE that looks almost the same as subsistence except there's an extra disc and sticke on the shrink wrap. That's 7 releases for sure, possibly 9, for a game just under 4 years old.
