I picked mine up yesterday, cracked it open, and sat down with my girlfriend to watch Existence. It was kind of...disappointing to say the least, but hey, everything else it came with made up for it.

And now it's going for upwards of $100 on eBay. Huzzah.

Crap that's out already. Blast my lack of fundage. I'll be picking up Subsistance eventually though, despite my lack of an internet connection for my PS2 (yet) and the fact that I've already played Snake Eater a couple of times over the last year. I must try this new camera system.

It's a pain at points, but good god almighty, it made The Fury so much easier.

Subsistance looks good, but Im still un sure if buying it is worth my money. I bought MGS3, so maybe ill just lave subsustance alone...

There's more than enough going on in Subsistence to justify buying it even if you already have Snake Eater, especially since it's available for just thirty dollars. It's more for less. The shining golden standard to which all expanded versions of games shall be compared from now on.

I wish there were VR missions. Those are so much fun.

I was unable to get one. They though i reserved a regular edition and not a limited one. They were rare even when released.

Judging by the posts in this thread, this game is going to be tough to find in stores. Are they going to make more copies or is it going to be rare forever?

The limited edition will be rare forever. No more will be made. The normal edition shouldn't be too hard to find.

What's the difference between the limited Edition and the normal edition?

You miss out on the 3rd disc which is pretty much MGS3...the movie. They threw all the cut scenes together to form a movie out of it. I have yet to watch it.

That's it? Then I guess I won't worry about getting a copy of the special edition, then.

The super-hardcore get the Japan-only limited edition that comes with a headset.

I think the important question is :

Do you have to drop to one knee and hold your ear in order to use it?

Which reminds me, you should kick my ass online sometime. Though, I don't have a headset.

Really? So how do the controls differ?

You can rotate the camera with the second analog stick.

You can rotate the camera with the second analog stick.Like, a full rotation? Much greater than the limited tilt/movement you got in the original MGS3?

Also, one other big question about Subsistence. Specifically, the online mode... can you play an offline version if you don't have a PS2 modem? Basically, playing against bots instead of human opponents. I don't have, and never intend to have, a net connection for my PS2, but it'd be great if I could still enjoy the multiplayer features of Subsistence, like you can do in other games such as Killzone.

As to your first question, yes it's full camera control, you can point it anywhere you want, and I must say, this new camera makes the already near perfect gameplay even better so far in my eyes.

As for your second question, I'm not sure since I haven't tried. At the moment I'm trying to figure out the cheapest way possible to get a broadband connection in my bedroom. The computer is a little too far away from any of the TV's to just run a really long ethernet cable like I did in our old house.
