The above link closed at $310.99! Another went buy-it-now at $279. Generally these go low-mid $200's.
May be a good idea to pick this up before $300+ is the normal price. This LE was only available for those that pre-ordered the game. Anything under $250 I think is a good price as all of these are probably going to hardcore collectors so the price will just keep going up.
Speaking of MGS3, the days of getting a Medicom RAH figure (MGS3) under $300 may be gone as well. It was this time last year I picked up the Crocodile head one for $120 as nobody wanted it LOL. Basically, if you see a $250 buy-it-now on one and you want it, I'd pull the trigger.

The Subsistence LE has a very limited printing. I have heard it's either 5000 or 7500, which is pretty rare considering two thirds of people most likely opened theirs. I estimate somewhere in the neighborhood of 1500-2500 exist sealed. It also comes with an extra disc, but I'm not sure what's on it or if it come with any of the PAL versions.

Yes, the PAL versions do have the 3rd disc, except that it came with the regular edition, so we didn't have to preorder or anything... The 3rd disc is basically a "Snake Eater" Movie which recreates tho game's story using cutscenes, gameplay and radio conversations, in fact, you're just watching the whole game instead of playing it... By the way, it's 3h 30min long!
Of course after oinking about how MGS3 Subsistence LE is a hot buy, one closed sealed for I think $167.50. Same oinker only got $127.50 for a sealed MGS2 Substance. His major oink though was the fact his auctions closed during the day on a Tuesoink. He probably could've oinked another $100 on each had he listed on say Thursday evening or Sunday oink.
I tried to oink MGS2 substance at $120 but I got outbid. I was gonna oink on MGS3 but I was too busy with my head buried in my slop bucket.
EDIT: Even I wanna oink myself in the face by now.

VS, or should i say VP now...
guess who did both the oinking =D =D =D... I'm actually |-| <--- THAT CLOSE to finishing collecting NA sealed games!!!!
I actually msged him and talked to him about oinking it to me early (i even offered higher for both shipped together, but he said he paid 250$ each for them and will just let the auction run)... surprisingly enough, i oinked it in time.
pretty happy about that.

Hey you oinked them!? I remember I oinked one of my signed MGS4's for $100 after offering $180 to the guy. Our conversations afteroink were a bit awkward as he was open about his regret not selling, but he still oinked it to me at my winning bid.

yup, i oinked them. but yeah.. i talked to the guy and he said hes a man of his words (with 100% feedbacks for 48 feeds) so I was pretty happy. He also said he'll ship both for the CORRECT shipping price (with confirmation and such)
so hopefully its gonna arrive in pristine condition, cause ive been a sitting duck for a long long long time for these.

Awesome oink man. Glad someone here got em, especially at that price. Subsistence LE's greatness can be summed up in one word: OiNK!

Life is sh*t at the moment! lol.
You know what would make it better? VP giving me his collection and bay letting me buy his copy of the MG2 soundtrack and his white sorter In fact, that'll be the only thing that would make it better. Right now, not even sex would put a smile on my face.
