Will North Americans pay $30 more for MGS HD just for art?

That is the question that comes to my mind when Konami announced the Limited Edition of Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection for North America. What you get is a big box-like sleeve with 1/3rd of the Japanese Premium Package boxart packed with the standard copy of the game and a fat 248-page artbook with 3/4th the Japanese Premium Package boxart on the cover. All of this can be yours for $79.99, if Amazon's listing is reliable.

With that said, even though you are essentially paying an extra $40 for a sleeve and an artbook, you're still getting a better deal than Japan. The Premium Package which is pretty much this with the full artwork and a soundtrack CD is around $130. Earlier today we also reported that the KonamiStyle Premium Edition, also known as the Fuck Yeah, Mugs! Edition is around $200. Those doesn't even include Peace Walker HD!

With that, I'll leave this quote from the product description:

"These elements have made MGS what it is today: a mature work of entertainment that transcends national borders and the confines of video games, and one of the leading products of the Japanesecontent business."

The cover art alone makes it worth it to me. So much better to look at then three separate covers on one box.

I still think the japanese version is the better one. The color box art with raiden looks cool, the american one looks good too, but not quite.

That huge fucking "T - M" logo on the standard box makes the LE even more appealing.

A non HD game in a HD pack lame. Does anyone know if the actual US and EU games are going to be the same, like will the US versions have EE mode?
