A tale of two box arts: Portable Ops Plus

A tale of two box arts. Which will you choose? Pay attention: these two similar, but different, box arts for Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Plus have a crucial difference awaiting on the inside. One is the "Deluxe Edition" -- can you guess which one?

The red cover on the right is for the premium edition, which not only includes a cool box, but also includes both MGS: Portable Ops Plus and the original Portable Ops. You will need the original in order to play the expansion pack, so those that missed the original will certainly want to pick up the combined bundle. The Japanese price for both? A mere $45.

No American release has been confirmed, but Amazon has already listed the game for a November release. Hopefully, the US will also receive its own ultra-value "Deluxe Edition."

the second one looks like a cover to a cheesy kung-fu movie.

the one on the left sucks a lot

how are they going to make the original game mandatory? by requiring a save file? i can't imagine that they would force you to put the old UMD in

Maybe they're doing a disk swap. I'm pretty sure I heard that somewhere before, that Kojima said that it'll be the first for the PSP, I just can't remember where though...

The one on the right sort of makes it look like the game's set in a jungle (with lots of explosions, according to the orange colour and the body above Snake's shoulder). The one on the left gives a better idea of what the game's actually like.
