Hello Everyone

Microsoft have some great deals going on, particularly for older games this time round. If you grew up playing Metal Gear Solid games, I think it's pretty hard to pass up MGS 2 & 3 HD for this price! I wish I had gotten it this cheap. Other MGS and Final Fantasy games are also on special in case you might be interested in some of the other titles. I won't put X360 in the title because not all games in the title can be played on Xbox 360.

Keep in mind that Final Fantasy VII isn't the "remake" that's on Playstation, but I'm pretty sure some of us would be able to appreciate the "remastered" version of the 1997 original. Hopefully people who grew up playing Silent Hill games might be able to benefit from this sale.

You can also get a further 9% off these prices if you have access to Suncorp Rewards, you just need to purchase Microsoft/Xbox Gift Cards. The only thing is that the gift cards can only be bought in $10, $25, $50 or $100 blocks. You just redeem it as credit on your account that can be used on purchases at any time.

    METAL GEAR SOLID HD: 2

    Few years back finding the physical copy of this was quite hard. Definitely worth it at this price.

      For sure. Unfortunately missing Peace Walker from the PS3 HD collection, but still MGS2 & 3 are two of the best games ever made.

      • godofpizza on 28/09/2021 - 16:04

        Peace Walker is incredibly underated and probably a bit better than what most people think.

        Keep in mind there wasn't much of HD update to this games as it was an upscale of the PSP game, whereas 2 and 3 were done to a better degree.

        • mangobango on 28/09/2021 - 16:09
          +3

          Yeah I really loved Peace Walker.

          I remember grabbing this collection back on PS3 and people saying it was a pretty weak game but I had heaps of fun with it!

            @mangobango: you can't play MGSV without playing PW as the stories are closely linked and explains alot of Big Boss origins from MGS3.

      • Jdrizzle on 28/09/2021 - 20:34

        Peace Walker is on the physical copies, but for some reason digitally it's a seperate purchase on Xbox..

    • dottjt on 28/09/2021 - 15:42

      I've played through HD 2 and HD 3 multiple times, and I would say that they haven't aged very well compared to later entries, at least in terms of gameplay. I would find it tedious as a newcomer to the series, although the story is obviously amazing.

  • Vool on 28/09/2021 - 14:58

    Just finished playing through these for the first time, great games and they hold up fairly well.

  • Wolfenstein98k on 28/09/2021 - 15:21

    These are great - the Silent Hill HD Collection is a poor substitute for the originals but worth it if you never played them and won't get original (or illegal) copies.

    But the MGS Collection is fantastic value - it includes the old NES games too, and the two main games in that collection are genuine 10/10 games, and Peace Walker is 9/10.

    Get it.

  • Fuzor on 28/09/2021 - 15:30

    It says Xbox X/S and One but the cover shows 360. Guess you cant buy this for the 360?

    • silverrat23 on 28/09/2021 - 15:32

      You can buy it for the Xbox 360.

      The Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles are able to play a large library of Xbox 360 titles, hence the cover art.

    • Vinodra on 28/09/2021 - 17:52

      It works on the following.

      -Xbox 360
      -Xbox One, Xbox One S & Xbox One X
      -Xbox Series S & Xbox Series X.

      Im guessing the post includes only XB1 and XSX in the title because not many people would still be using a 360 these days. The 360 store is still up, so you can definitely still buy it there.

    Me: "Sweet, I'd love to play through MGS again"

    Microsoft: "you already own this game"

    Me: "fair enough, then I'll buy.."

    Microsoft: "you already own all these games"

  • idonotknowwhy on 28/09/2021 - 15:37

    I noticed with MGS2 HD on PS3; when I get a codec call, it takes a good couple of seconds to open up / start talking.
    It wasn't like this on the original PS2 version.

    Is this a PS3 specific problem or is it present on Xbox too?

  • silverrat23 on 28/09/2021 - 15:39

    Note that the MGS collection listed here does not include Peace Walker, as it is a separate game.

    The physical version of the collection contains 2 & 3 on disc 1 and Peace Walker on disc 2.

  • lordezekiel on 28/09/2021 - 16:04

    Anyone know a way to filter the microsoft games store to just show OG xbox and 360 games?

  • autolux on 28/09/2021 - 16:11

    why isnt mgs hd collection on playstation??

    • godofpizza on 28/09/2021 - 16:14

      what? there's like 2 physical releases of the HD collection for PS3.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Gear_Solid_HD_Collection

      and

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Gear_Solid:_The_Legacy_C…

      which had MGS1/MG4/ and MGSHD and digital download of the msx titles

      • autolux on 28/09/2021 - 16:21

        oh yeh… i mean for modern consoles… ps4/ps5

        • Vinodra on 28/09/2021 - 18:01

          Was pretty clear that is what you were talking about.

          Simple answer is PS4 and PS5 do not have backwards compatibility for PS1, PS2 or PS3, so the developers would have to port games from these systems themselves which costs a lot of money and takes development time away from current projects.

          In the case of Xbox, they have a team dedicated to backwards compatibility which does all the work (Getting the game running on modern systems & in some cases resolution and FPS boost) so there is no cost to the original developers.

        • Vool on 28/09/2021 - 18:57

          Sony have just chosen not to prioritise supporting old games (probably partly because the PS3 and even the PS2 were hard to emulate). Jim Ryan made some comment recently about people not wanting to play old games.

  • mboy on 28/09/2021 - 17:02

    I just want to play MGS1 again. It doesn't seem to be available digitally on the PS4/5.
    I can't believe they've gone that long without making this gem available digitally to the latest gen consoles.

    • buckster on 28/09/2021 - 20:34
      -1

      I guess that's the downside of the weird infrastructure/dev environment the PS3 had?

      Hopefully backwards compatibility is the way forwards for all the consoles going forwards

      • mboy on 28/09/2021 - 21:37

        Nah, I was talking about MGS1 (PS1, 1998). Not MGS4.

        • buckster on 28/09/2021 - 23:48

          Yeah, MGS1 was playable on PS3, but obviously not compatible with the PS4/etc :/

          Although I'm pretty sure that was essentially just an emulated version of the PS1 game and not a remaster

    • lordezekiel on 28/09/2021 - 22:33

      Just grab a second hand PS3 console off marketplace or gumtree for like $50+ and you can purchase ps1 classics version of MGS1 on psn store for $15.

      • PainToad on 29/09/2021 - 06:36

        Or just download an emulator. Anything* will run PS1 one games now, even an Xbox One/Series without any mods or hacking.

        .* ironically, everything but actual Sony consoles because they don’t give a shit about gaming preservation or their customers.

  • RocketSwitch on 28/09/2021 - 17:14

    Persona 4 Arena too, is finally on sale!! Didn't want to shell out $70 for a physical!

  • Jameson on 28/09/2021 - 17:37

    Not sure if I should buy SOTN on Xbox or keep hoping for a Switch port?

    • Ventak on 28/09/2021 - 19:33

      After all this time, and SOTN still isn't on Switch (it did get the Castlevania Advance collection announced last week), it doesn't seem likely.

    • Wonderfool on 29/09/2021 - 11:22

      It's on everything but switch lol. Even your phone can buy sotn for 5 bucks.

  • FabMan on 28/09/2021 - 18:29

    I only played Castlevania: Symphony of the Night recently, bloody brilliant game. Shame I missed it in the 90s.

    I was about to say all the comments are talking about mgs and no one mentioned one of the greatest games of all time Caatlevania Sotn, then the last few comments made me happier.
    Everyone should at least play sotn once. It's a masterpiece.
