I want to buy MGS 4 for PS3, which version shall I purchase?

Metal Gear Solid 4 - Guns Of The Patriots Platinum (PS3) £14.16

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PS3) £12.75

What does the platinum version offer over the original?
 
Platinum is just a straight re-release after a game sells so many copies I think, so probably nothing.

Get the cheaper original edition if the above is true.
 
They also updated it a while back so now it does one large install at the start instead of lots of smaller ones throughout.

Don't forget about the MGS HD Collection, if you haven't played those already.

I'm buying that as well :D

Will sort out Peace Walker, MGS Acid & Ground Zeroes at a later date
 
Glad to hear it. I last did a 1-4 playthrough a few years back (think it was just after the HD Collection came out) and it's such a brilliant way to play the games. Despite me having played them all a few times before I was still finding things or hearing codec conversations I hadn't encountered before.

Might have to do it all over again before Phantom Pain comes out.
 
Yeah I was about to suggest the 25th Anniversary Edition as the vast majority (if not all) patches is on the disc as far as I know. I mean sure you can download them obviously, but... just convenience I guess? Although better to get whatever is cheaper I suppose.

And Legacy is defo a good deal if you can get it at a reasonable price, seems to of shot up compared to when I bought it at release though :eek:
