Metal Gear Solid HD Collection Delayed to 2012 In Europe and Likely US (PS3,360)

PS3

360

Like many of you, we we're really excited to get going on the next Metal Gear release from Konami and Kojima Productions next month, but it appears that they pulled a fast one on us and have decided to east the burden on our wallets while simultaneously causing anxiety knowing we won't be getting to it this year and will have to wait until next year to play three of Kojima's masterpieces in HD.

Yes, according to sources, the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection won't be shipping until February in Europe. Now, typically games are release in Europe and other territories after they've been release in Japan (if its a Japanese developed game) and then work its way to the US and then ships to all other territories. So, gamers in the United States might not have to wait quite as long, assuming history repeats itself but, its likely we'll all be waiting until next year. So, leave that copy of Skyrim or Uncharted 3 is those disc trays cause you've still got some time. Apparently, it seems as well from sources that those who own a PS3 and purchase the Ultimate HD Collection, will get a copy of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots which we're going to say that if you already have PS3 and you're planning to get the Ultimate Edition, shouldn't you already have Metal Gear Solid 4 by now? Here we are some three years later. Hm..

Still, We're wondering however, how if Metal Gear is dodging the bullet with this years holiday line-up in order to increase sales, well how is going to fare against Sony's upcoming release with Eat, Sleep, Play in February with the release of Twisted Metal? Yeah....
