Who's double-dipping for MGS2-Substance? - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

I'm trying to decide what to do.

I'm leaning toward the double dip because I bought SOL after it was made a greatest hit AND was on sale at circuit city for $16.99. I can sell it back to EBGames for $5. It looks like Substance will street for $39.99, so after all is said and done, the game will end up costing me +/-$50, which is where I would have been from the start before it went GH.

Everything I've read about the extras makes me think it's worth it. The only downside that I can see is that it won't recognize SOL save files. So I'll have to start from scratch and give up my beloved stealth cammo.

Also, it seems us NA folks are getting screwed out of a free copy of The Document of Metal Gear Solid 2. It's being packaged with the european versions but not the NA versions.

Cheers.

I say wait for it. You already have SoL and the Xbox version of Substance is already down to $25-$30 ($20 if you're lucky.) That's what, not even five, six months old now?

That said, the VR Missions are fun. Playing through Substance was my first time with any MGS game.

And I think Documents can be had for $20 also.

If or when it's $30 or less, I'll definitely be double-dipping. With the XBOX version at $30 right now, there's no way I'm paying anything above that for the PS2 version.

I was already planning on probably getting the current version for about $20 or less, now I've learned about this newer (more expensive) one coming out.
... decisions.
