God. Contrary to this, the US Essential Collection version of the original Metal Gear Solid won't be ported to a PS2 DVD after all. The game originally came on two CDs, and nothing's going to change for the new pack.

Just to be absolutely sure - this information apparently comes from Konami US PR, but it'll probably change tomorrow - the set contains four discs: two for MGS1, one for MGS2: Substance, and one for MGS3: Subsistence.

OK? Can we have it in Europe now?
