    That Metal Gear Database is timely. I just bought the anthology today! Also, Hot Shots Golf looks kinda fun :<

      I love it. Lame as this sounds, I would have bought the thing for $10 had they offered -- even knowing the series as well as I do and already having purchased the MGS4 LE guide with the really exhaustive saga background portion, the interactive bits and the character relationship map make it a really stellar download.
