Walked in to GameStop to pick up my copy and was told it was pushed back indefinitely minutes can't find any news about it? Did the dude blatantly lie to my face?
Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection 1987-2012
Game » consists of 4 releases. Released Jul 09, 2013
A Metal Gear compilation consisting of the previous "Metal Gear Solid HD Collection" and much more.
Q: Did this come out?
@nickydubz It's out, seems like your Gamestop didn't get the stock and lied or the staff are just idiots

Yes. I got mine from Amazon yesterday.
Ditto. It's out.
All GameStops had some kind of shipment error, but every other store in the country got theirs in so you can go buy it elsewhere. Hopefully you were planning to buy this game with cash and not store credit like I was. As soon as I'm out of store credit I'm going to stop shopping there.

Yep, all the Gamestops near me don't have it and that is what they said. But they have it at gamestops an hour away from me.
Wow. He could've just told you that they're sold out, and not fucking treat you like shit by lying to you. Pathetic.
So I checked today and the GameStop I preordered at isn't getting theirs until next week, but a GameStop that's about ten minutes from there got theirs in today. Of course, they only have enough to satisfy pre-orders. I cancelled my pre-order, bought a PSN card with the credit I had, and ordered Legacy Collection on Amazon as I walked out of the store. Goodbye GameStop.
GameStop by my place is selling it, they have tons of copies. Clearly the lack of any advertising isn't helping the game.

I would totally get this, if MGS1 was on the disc, and not a digital download.
Wait, is this true? Fuck, I already have it downloaded. Really wanted a single collection with everything. I should have paid more attention.
@daneian: It true. This collection is essentially the HD Collection disc bundled with MGS 4 disc, everything else is digitally downloaded off the store.
The reason that GameStop didn't sell the game on Tuesday was because everyone that bought the game on Tuesday morning could not retrieve the full property at the time of sale. Sony didn't add the download for the games that need to be downloaded off PSN before Tuesday and Gamestop has a company policy that if a person cannot walk out of the store with 100% of their purchase or 100% access to their purchase then they can't sell it. Not to protect or make you happy, just an "In case someone tries to sue us" type thing. So since the download for the games not on discs didn't go up till PSN updated (11ish) on Tuesday you could not access your full purchase and Gamestop held all sales until the following day when everything was ready. The Gamestop employee didn't lie, the original email set to every Gamestop was that the game was delayed indefinitely, sony gave them the information on when the downloads would be available and they reissued an email saying the game was delayed 1 day to Wednesday (7/10/13) when the download and therefore the whole purchase was accessible. As an example of a reason Gamestop did this, if they sold the game on Tuesday and PSN goes down for a month like it did last year you would have a portion of your purchase that you have no access to, Gamestop doesn't want to deal with the hassle of you coming back pissed because you can't get your game, so they don't sell it till it's all ready to go at the time of sale.
@ahaisthisourchance: Yes there is, it's out September 13th
Good, now I don't have to spend a fuckton of money importing it. Thanks.
