Here's an anotated version of the description:

Quote:

Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence is an expanded version of Snake Eater. It adds several new features, uincluding content that was previously available only in localised versions of the original game.

The Subsistence game will be comprised of two DVD discs; one containing the updated game and the other containing all the supplemental game modes and materials, including an online multiplayer mode titled Metal Gear Online. A third disc will also be bundled in first print editions, which contains all the cutscenes edited into a movie-like format.

Had it pre-ordered for ages. I'm even tempted to farce and arse about with the PS2's BB adapter to play this online, I'm that much of a Kojima bitch Shock

Is it all in Japanese? I want Subsistence, but may have to wait for the American version in March. Unless this is English language. Anyone?

The 'International' versions (Integral/Substance) have had English language options before, so yep. It's basically a package containing all regions of the game minus localisation, so all languages.

Oh, that's good. May have to order this then. It's the better camera I'm after. With the lack of a decent radar in Snake Eater, I found it really annoying having that same camera angle. Hopefully, the ful 3D Splinter Cell style camera in Subsistence may alleviate that problem.

The tweaks sound good. It's a lovely package, and well priced. If the online version is decent, it could be one of the best packages ever released. Ah, Kojima....

Bafflingly underrated, in my opinion. Everyone who has tried to argue with me that it's shite has had the SMACKDOWN.

To be fair, the plot's confusing, the codec woeful and the cutscenes three times longer than the gameplay. But ignore the "Oh teh noes, I can't live without playing as Snaake!" and enjoy it on its own merits. Fantastic. Analogue Katana action for the win!

Well, poo.

This turned up today and it's all in Japanese. The speech and subtitles with no option for an English language mode. Arse.

Anyone wanna buy it for £40 delivered?
