I don't really remember. I think that they are the same, but, then again, I'm not the most observent person.

What do you mean of this MGS3 Special edition? is this the one with the second disc?JimboKudo wrote:and bought the special edition of MGS3 (which they had in stock). I have to say that I was still tempted to keep it anyway, because it had some kick-ass box art for each game
Yeah, count me on that! But I did see a few Us Ebay sellers selling the MGS3 (not subsistence) with a bonus disc... I'm quite intrigued about that 2nd disc, but since I have the Limited edition already, i guess I was already fine with that.87th wrote:He means MGS3: Subsistence. The stand-alone version of Subsistence contains two or three discs (some versions contain a third disc, showing MGS3 filmed and edited to make a sort of movie), while the version in this pack only contains the first disc. The first disc of Subsistence is basically just the American version of Snake Eater with the new 3D camera. Most of the new, or European bonuses were included on the second disc, so many are disappointed that it wasn't included in this pack.
Do you have the special edition 3-disc or the regular 2-disc? I thought about buying the 3-disc one on ebay, but I really don't have the money right now, and I didn't really care about the content on the third disc anyway.lance wrote:Yeah, count me on that!

I'm probably late with this, and someone might have already answered, but the manuals included with the collection are black-and-white, stripped to the mechanics and not much else. It seems Konami USA has chaned their manuals since the release of Snake Eater, as each game I've seen purchased from them has had these terrible manuals. The manual for Subsistence was laughable at best, especially when you compare it to the encyclopedia included with the Japanese Subsistence.87th wrote:What are the manuals like? Are they the originals?
I respect your personal opinion on the install, but it it certain they are saving bucks and it is lower quality. Juts look at the kind of paper, illustrations, inks and content used before and now, the company is just minding costs there.. or was that irony and I failed to see it?JimboKudo wrote:I don't really mind the style of the manuals, since it seems to fit the latest set of metal gear games (Portable Ops and Snake Eater). It's probably not the cost that matters to the company, it's probably just the style they chose.
Hmm, I just went and re-examined my subsistence manual. Yeah, you guys are right. It's crap compared to any of my other games I own. The cost of nicer manuals would only cost them several thousand dollars. Compared to what they make, that's nothing. I guess it's kinda like transfat. Companies who use transfat only save a few thousand bucks a year (at the cost of many unhealthy people). Hopefully, MGS4 changes it's manuals to something better. After all, it IS the last game in the series.Artemio wrote:I respect your personal opinion on the install, but it it certain they are saving bucks and it is lower quality.

It IS also the most expensive game in Konami history because of the actual size and because developing games on PS3 is supposedely very hard and resource consumingJimboKudo wrote:After all, it IS the last game in the series.
Ouch! I feel sorry for them. As Jim_Sensei said, it just feels better to know you have a higher quality item. The pages for the Subsistence are next to being as thin (and cheap) as encyclopedia pages. It would also be cool if they could do some (colored) art for the INSIDE of the manual yaknow? They may as well throw what they can into making this game special. I guess this is all just nit-picking though. I'm sure the game will be awesome.krelian wrote:It IS also the most expensive game in Konami history because of the actual size and because developing games on PS3 is supposedely very hard and resource consumingJimboKudo wrote:After all, it IS the last game in the series.
This is the first time a MGS game doesn't have a Japanese special edition at release (I mean one of those full fledged boxes).
If they are saving money for the Japanese market........
you do the math
