Metal Gear Solid coming to PSN June 18

I've had 3 copies but people kept borrowing and moving away. or something
I got it a new copy off amazon marketplace for under $20 not too long ago.
This is by far the best FF in my opinion.

If others don't take care of their old games then yes. These discs aren't old enough to have degraded on their own so it's obviously had some abuse.

FFIX has always been my favorite FF too.

If you have the discs, you can easily and legally rip them to ISO to play on your PSP.
Don't pay the $10 download!!!!

But its not legal to hack the firmware of your PSP so it can play the iso...

Yes it is; you own the machine. Distributing the software can, and is, fought against if it facilitates piracy.

Good for you. I no longer have most of my old PS1 collection and purchasing a copy of FF7 in disc form on the second hand market is much more expensive than paying $10 for a download. So, this is perfect for me.

I would love for them to add some of the Tecmos Deception games and Jedi Power Battles.

Exactly, there are enough games that are still great today. Also, spoiler: Not everyone bought MGS first time round, myself included.

$10 for a 2-disc game is expensive? Damn, I spend that on cigs in 2 days.

maybe just google it ... i don't know ... but, I have this game so no worries for me. I tried playing it a few times recently and the camera angle is tough to adjust to after playing it in a true third person view.

These classic games come with the full color manual built in. Maybe they can put a scan of the back of the box in at the end of that? How does the Japanese version do it?

Well When i last played MGS on PSP i found out there's a few ways.

1) you can google it

2) if you bug the Colonel enough he tells you

3) Get the old manual and look on the back.

The original Metal Gear Solid is far superior in all aspects other than graphics.

The remake was terrible and it was pretty much pointless to remake such a cinematic game only 5 years after it came out. Keeping the original script and then changing all the cinematics was a bad idea because 40 minutes after Snake tells Naomi it's hard to move around in his sneaking suit, he's doing backflips off a missile.

I hated how they dropped all the accents from the characters except for Liquid, even though his accent was easily the fakest one. Plus the voice acting in general was probably the worst performance out of the cast as a whole, they all seemed like they had no interest in re-recording the same lines again. To top it off they changed Gray Fox's voice actor.

The gameplay took the hardest beating because of the inclusion of first person shooting, which the levels were clearly not designed for at all, making the game ridiculously easy, when it was all ready easy enough in the first place. Then remove all the VR Missions and you've got yourself the worst version of the Shadow Moses incident you can possibly experience.

Also, why would they port a Gamecube game as a PS1 Classic?

I wish they would release some SNES games as PS1 classics. Just imagine playin Super Mario RPG on your PSP! That'd be great!

@Gillfigno: Mighty fine display of epic pwnage there, sir. I love seeing beatdown comparisons like yours.

If Sony releases a PS1 game every Thursday and thats "if" we could be close to 100 PS1 games by the end of the year. It only took Sony two years to bring PS1 games over here to the States while Japan has been getting PS1 games every single week.

Home - controller settings - assign controller ports.

easy

probably the same as they did in the FFVII PSP/PS3 version (never beat that game, can't be bothered to play it on an HDTV, totally loving it on PSP); you press the PS key, and you can "switch discs" there.
