@kaw.... One way to find out is by the user ratings, they are pretty dang accurate on PSN. www.pspminis.com is also a good site to use as well.
@SilentJ.... tracking down the 2 PS2 games is extrememly easy as about every Gamestop has multiple copies and the MGS2 is $2.99 and Snake Eater is $6.99 and finding the PSone game locally or ebay will be your best bet unless you get it off of PSN. As for the 2 NES or MSX games, you can watch them on Youtube, but its not neccessary. Also there is a awesome free MGS download on PSN with the full story, but you have to read it all.
If you can find it the Metal Gear Solid Essential Collection has the PSone, and 2 PS2 games, but your going to prob shell out 30-50 bucks for it on Ebay.
I actually just got Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection yesterday for $20 at Wal-Mart, last copy though. I would recommend you check stores before paying more on Ebay, I have actually noticed a few still hanging around in places. What I have played so far is great, but even already owning it, I'd say it'll be a while before you get to it, from what I've heard these games are LONG! I could be wrong though.
@Supermario.... thanks for the heads up man, and they really arent that long. Id say around 20 hrs each excluding the first one wich is maybe 11-12 hrs if I remember right. Im like 6 hrs into the first again (maybe 15-20th playthru lol) and Im way over halfway through it, but then again I know where EVERYTHING is lol. That is one of the best ways to drop $20 that I know of.
Im actually playing back through the series and Ill post my completion times if you want.
Played a little of Demon's Souls again for the first time in months yesterday.
I love/ hate that game. Question because I'd forgotten - if you die, the only way to get your physical body back is to kill one of the boss demons, right?
@ waltz.... i think it's the stone of efernal eyes or something like that. There are a few in each area. I only use them before boss battles. Don't waste your demon souls. Eventually you will use them to create great weapons.

@Strofan7: At the rate it's going and if Bayonetta is any indication, the $20 mark should hit sometime after the holidays.
I'm actually pretty meh on the holiday line-up this year apart from Vanquish, Kirby and GoldenEye. Just a lot of sequels to games I don't need sequels for (despite 007), which is why Vanquish is such a breath of fresh air to me.
@Strofan7 I didn't drill into LBP as deep as I had hoped, got a little annoyed at the floaty physics towards the middle and user-generated stuff is usually lost on me anyway. Don't care for driver sims so GT5 is out, I thought AC2 was dreadfully boring, the Castlevania demo didn't impress, New Vegas will inevitably get a GOTY edition with all the DLC, don't care about Fable, SW:TFU2 or Black Ops. I am really looking forward to Dead Space 2 though, the first was fantastic.
So yeah, that leaves pretty much what I mentioned earlier for retail and I'll probably grab some DLC I've missed. I'm probably in the minority of minorities writing off all this stuff, but give me my Vanquish and I'm pretty much set for the year!
I really can't say enough good things about Vanquish. It controls like a dream, is crazy intense, and is the most fun I've ever had with a third-person shooter. Can't wait to replay it and mop up the remaining trophies, which are actually pretty well done by encouraging new/bolder ways to tackle situations.

Well, I'm right there with you. I'm not interested in any of those games, but I can't wait to pick up Vanquished once I have the cash!
I need to find people to play White Knight with online.
I'll play sometime WaltzElf, I don't have much time during the week to play online with peeps during the week though. Most of my online gaming is done on weekends.
I'd be interested in the Sly Cooper collection if I didn't have them all on the PS2 already. It's still great that the series is getting more attention, though. I hope this means we'll get another sequel someday.

That's cool - You're on my PSN friends list, so I'll send you though a message and see if we cant get a time teed up.
@Mickey.... I completely missed the series somehow lol. I had all three games in my hand today for like $5 a piece but was like oh the HD remake and trophies will be so worth it
I snatched up Zone of the Enders for $3 bucks though lol.
I just earlier swapped to Disc 2 on Metal Gear Solid PSone... how long since Ive swapped a disc?
