In celebration of Metal Gear's 20th anniversary, Konami is planning to release every PlayStation Metal Gear Solid title in presumably new, special packaging, IGN reports. Metal Gear Solid for PlayStation will be priced 1500 yen, Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty for PS2 will be 1800 yen, Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater for PS2 will be 2800 yen, and Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops for PSP will be 2800 yen. A package containing all of these hits will also be available for 6900 yen.Unless these re-releases come with some significant additions, we find it unlikely that even hardcore Kojima fans will be throwing down their cash. Hopefully, this isn't the end of the 20th Anniversary announcements ... we're hoping for a Portable Ops sequel (and some more info on the ever-elusive Metal Gear Solid 4 would be nice too).
[Update: IGN reports that a limited edition DVD will be packaged with the MGS bundle. Also, a new soundtrack CD will be made available. Check for details on the new official website.]

I know it will probably never happen, but I would like to see a Metal Gear game with Portable Ops gameplay and the look of Metal Gear Ac!d 2.

Blah, most of us mgs fanboys HAVE everything already.
Do we need another copy of everything? We have the originals, we don't want Greatest Hits or anything else slapped on. We love our originals!

Personally I'd love to see a proper release of the classic Metal Gear games for PSP, maybe with some jazzed up sprites ala the FF remakes and such :D

...Agreed, sort-of. While re-purchasing the games would be pretty silly for those who already got the originals, I *might* reconsider if it was packaged as such:
(1)Instead of selling all of this seperately, sell it as one GIANT bundle alongside MGS4. Call it the "Solid Gear" or something. I don't know. The guy who comes up with the cool names is on vacation. ;D
(2)Much like the Subsistence set for MGS3, why not include another Saga/Making of MGS4 disc? Or go MPO style and include new faceplates, cards, cases, artbooks/guides, etc.? This MGS fan loves artbooks(and it's a good way to hype Shinkawa's impressive artstyle)!
(3)Extra camo or characters for previous games. Or hell, demos for a possible MGAC!D³ or MPO2?
