Well I just won an auction for a ps2 that had the Essentials Collection. I decided I'd probably enjoy 4 more if I had actually played through the other three. Also, what is the difference between Snake Eater, Subsistence, and Substance? Which is the true "3"?

Thanks to everyone for your impressions so far. It sounds like I might actually have a reason to get a ps3 now.

Ouch. I hope you were joking.
