I’m desperate to replay these games and am about to buy the legacy collection. Anything I should watch out for a be wary of?

I am absolutely desperate to replay these games as they were my favorites of my childhood and I cannot stop watching YouTube videos about them now. I’ve noticed there are quite a few physical copies going for sale on Amazon and walmart.com and wanted to check with you all and see if there was anything I should look out for or be wary of while looking to pick up a copy of this bad ass collection.

The only thing you should know is, that MGS1 comes as a download code. So be careful with used products.

This is exactly the kind of advice I was looking for. Is there any other way to acquire mgs 1?

Either get the PS1 discs or buy it digitally on the PS3s store.

There's the essential collection too. Comes with MGS1-3, all disk.

Is that technically the the HD collection?

No, MGS 1-3 got released as the “essential collection” on ps2. The HD collection has 2, 3, and peacewalker.

Nope, it's hard copies of MGS1, 2, and 3 in one set.

Buy a used GameCube and Twin Snakes. Get an adaptor to use a PS2 controller. The ultimate way to experience MGS.

I am in a unique position where my job would make this easy. I will absolutely take this into condition. Thanks homie.

I highly recommend to not buy second hand. MGS1 can only be downloaded as a code.. So you know. Plus, the disks are pretty fragile and any scratches could ruin it
