“With Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, gamers will be impressed with the updated graphics and the ability to zoom and perform attacks by using just their fingers on the touch screen of the PlayStation Vita system,” said Tomoyuki Tsuboi, President of Konami Digital Entertainment, It’s an exciting new way to experience the games Metal Gear Solid fans have known and loved for years.”
In addition to the visual upgrades, both titles include Transfarring, where players can start the action right where they left off as they transfer saved-data back and forth from their PlayStation 3 system version of Metal Gear Solid HD Collection to their PlayStation Vita system.
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is rated M for Mature by the ESRB and is now available nationwide for a SRP of $39.99 for the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation Vita system. The collection is also available for download digitally.

reminder: two titles ain’t a “collection” it’s a “double feature”. the vita version of the “collection” is laughable at best. a real low effort. the title selection is already questionable on the ps3, so i hope the vita version tanks like nothing before to give the publisher the sign that he can sell hit bullcrap to anyone who is dumb enough.
disclaimer for the fanboys: i did NOT say the collection was not good. it’s just that it is a poor approach to the gaming business by stripping a “collections of 3” down to a double pack.
please boycot this kind of working-ethic. if it sells well we will see many of these watered down “collections” on the vita where half the package will be missing.

I see nothin wrong with these collections so long as they offer improvements and use the hardware they’re released on. Like when they released it on 3ds and how it took advantage of the system’s 3d capabilities.

My Vita is collecting dust right now. So far no good software is out there for it. Yeah we had Uncharted and crap. But where are the good games?? Collections? A tank game? Come on Sony! Give us something good to play!!!
