Metal Gear Solid HD Collection

The "Metal Gear Solid (MGS)" series is the seminal work of Hideo Kojima, Japan's master game creator, and the progenitor of the stealth action game genre.

The series has become a global phenomenon, with over 27 million copies sold worldwide.

The player controls a secret agent from an elite special forces unit who is sent on solo sneaking missions through enemy installations, vast jungles, and sometimes even the thick of battle.

Alone and surrounded by the enemy, even a special forces agent will find it tough to come out alive.

But that is the secret behind the series' popularity-the cerebral challenge of figuring out how to avoid combat, and the thrill of sneaking through enemy territory undetected.The MGS series is also known for its storyline, which blends seamlessly with the gameplay.

The scenarios are based on extensive research and incorporate the drama of actual developments in society.

These elements have made MGS what it is today: a mature work of entertainment that transcends national borders and the confines of video games, and one of the leading products of the Japanese content business.

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for PlayStation 3 is currently worth €31.75 loose, €22.03 complete in box, and €47.37 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, loose is €31.75 and CIB is €22.03 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is currently worth €31.75 loose, versus €26.57 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
