Metal Gear Solid is one of the bet game's ever. VR missions is okay for a quick distraction.

Yes, but in all fairness there IS a new collection for the PS2 called "Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection", but IDK if you can get it in Australia. It has Metal Gear Solid 1 (PS1 in a PS2-style case w/ cover), and also the 2nd and 3rd games.

It's also only $29.99 MSRP!

$30 for the first 3 mgs games. If we see that here, I can guarantee that it will be well over $100. Because we get raped on everything.

You'd think with all the ps1 owners here in Australia it would be easy to find cheap. But then again, whenever I try to buy a spare Dreamcast, I can't find em for less than $130.And that machine wasn't really what you would call "rare".

Dude, are you shitting me. I picked up a second copy of smb with case and manual plus extras the other week for $1.29 (plus $6 post)

If you got a modded ps1 (or want to emu) just dl it first.It's still my all time favourite game. I play it through at least twice a year.

Hey, now, I'll gladly ship to AUS if you buy my stuff and pay for shipping. :D An NTSC copy of Chrono Cross sells brand new for $20 off Target.com and the like. Sounds like you just need to get a Paypal account and someone who will send you stuff.
I have a ton of games listed at my store's site: Super Smash Video Games
