Metal Gear Solid (the first) coming to Euro PSN this week

by Alexander Sliwinski { Nov 16th 2009 at 6:15PM }

Snake's first "solid" adventure is finally making its way to Europe's PSN. Eurogamer reports Konami's announcement that the tactical espionage action title will arrive this Thursday, November 19, for £8. We followed up with Sony Europe and a representative confirmed the release.

The PSN version of MGS is the original game released on PlayStation and not the Twin Snakes update released in 2004. For those living the States, the title has been available since this summer. The release of the first Metal Gear Solid on PSN will be followed by MGS: Portable Ops, MGS: Portable: Ops+ and MGS: Digital Graphic Novel. Of course, this is all in preparation for Peace Walker sometime next year.

The game is a classic, but I don't think I would actually play this if I bought it now.

About time EU got it.I hope Portable Ops goes on the store in the US too. I can only find copies of Portable Ops Plus in stores. (Its just a multiplayer expansion)

About time!

I've got the game on PS1, and it still runs perfectly, so i don't think i'll be getting it.

I think it's time for Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake to hit PSN at least the original games.... don't you agree
