Ok I got deleted on gamespot for asking if I should get MGS4 on the 360 forum, but I didn't know it was ps3 only (such an idiot) but that's ok I don't like gamespot all that much anyway. But anyway. Is there anyway to play a metal gear solid game on the xbox 360? It doesn't matter which one. Any MGS game.

The Xbox 360 is the second game console produced by Microsoft Corporation and is the successor to the original Xbox.
MGS?????
"You can play MGS2 Substance on the original Xbox. I don't know if it will work on the 360 though.

Here's the actual list, it's difficult to find on Xbox.com.

Yeah there are some strange titles on the Backwards Compatibility List. It worked out that way because some games share so much in common with each other on the back end, that when tested, they just played and didn't require any additional engineering to get working. I heard years ago that's why Barbie Horse Adventures is on there - it's very similar to HALO on the back end, and when tested, it just worked.

Better link, I'd check that one out.
Nope, Sony has a death grip on Metal Gear Solid. After losing Final Fantasy XIII exclusivity Metal Gear isn't going anywhere near a 360.
On an older 1up podcast the guys said they'd be surprised if MGS4 didn't come to the 360 this year due to lower than expected sales. I have it for my PS3 but the thought of running through that fantastic game again on my 360 and gathering up achievements is tantalizing. That being said I still think it is a long shot and that you should not count on it, but you can always run through MGS2 on Xbox. Great series, one of my favorites. I hope everyone gets to run through MGS4 someday.
"this is funny xbots wanting that MGS again, so pathetic."Yeah it's pretty pathetic. As pathetic as being to useless and poor to not afford both machines and feeling the need to lord an exclusive over other peoples.
WHOOPS!
Though the amount of nerd rage and disappointment after the MGS Touch teaser turned out to be an Iphone game instead of a 360 game was hilarious.
That was some awesome trolling.
"Lower than expected?"Metal Gear Solid 4 ended up shipping a little over a four million units. While this makes it a full blown hit it didn't come with the subsequent rise in PS3 sales that Sony had hoped for. The game also was only in the top 10 for sales in its release month. Since then it has disappeared from the radar.
