My rarest game (as far as I know) is now Metal Gear Solid HD Collection Limited Edition for PS3, rather than Earthbound.

It didn't "become" rare, the LE was actually limited for once, that's all. It was always rare.

Ah, I didn't know they released a LE of that collection, thus my confusion. Pretty cool stuff.

Did it come with anything cool or just the usual "DVD/artbook/cool case" deal?

Nearly every MM cart is like that. In fact, I'd wager that the holographic version is actually more common than the non-holographic one.

The rarest variant of MM is actually the grey cart "not for resale" version. Damn Majora's Mask is backwards.
That label is lenticular, not holographic.

It came with a 249-page artbook for the three games included, and an outer cardboard box to hold it all. Nothing past that. But I love MGS's art style too much to pass up an artbook for it.

The grey cart *IS* more rare than the gold cart, but about equally as rare as the non-lenticular gold cart ;) That is, unless you consider PAL region where the lenticular label is the rare one.
