I think the Legacy Collection is the way to go. It's essentially the Hd Collection with extra games. Just read the product description.

this legacy collection comes with several games in one. i'm unfamiliar with the hd collection. thanks for your question.

I recommend Legacy Collection as it comes with all of the games (except portable ops) especially since I'm guessing you're new to the franchise. HD only comes with 2, 3, and Peace Walker where as if you're new to the franchise, is not a good place to start the franchise. HD came out first during the middle of previous gen games where that's all there was. Legacy came out years later by the end of Previous Gen's games as the "Ultimate" Collection in a way

Legacy has the HD Collection in it. The HD Collection is Metal Gear Solid 2, 3 and Peace Walker. Legacy also has 1 and 4, extra content and a neat art book thing. Legacy is a lot harder to find too, so it might be extra valuable in a few years, who knows.

Basically the Legacy Collection is everything, the HD collection is only Metal Gear Solid 1,2 and 3. As far as I know the HD version of Metal Gear Solid 3 also includes Metal Gear 1 and 2. But if you want to play MGS 4 and Peacewalker as well, you gotta get the Legacy Collection.

Use disks or just do the digital download. I believe both give you 30 days free, then you must use subscription to play.

It's not over yet and there is still hope. I have both formats and have been enjoying better deals on players and discs because of this format war. So I kinda hope it'll go on longer to provide consumers with better quality at lower prices. I know it's easy to freak out right now, sell off your stuff and go Blu, but remember, Blu isn't guaranteed any victory either. Even if HD DVD goes away, most people aren't buying Hi Def now and it will take a long time for Hi Def to catch up with standard dvd. Blu could still fail by lack of consumer interest. And company partnerships and deals are very fragile. It doesn't take much to sway a companies opinion. HD DVD players may continue to sell very well and make some Blu supporters reconsider. Sony may tick off some companies or studios may continue to struggle too much with the difficulties of developing for Blu. There's a number of things that can happen. Just don't let any "press releases" or avid fans sway you with their words and enthusiasm (there are ALOT of rumor mongers out there). That's as much propaganda as anything. I'll believe the end of HD DVD when Toshiba officially bows out, Paramout and Universal go Blu, and there are no more HD DVD's on the shelf with no more to come. Then it may be over. By the way, your HD DVD player isn't region coded so you can buy european HD DVD's from Fox, Disney, Sony, and now probably Warners future catalog. Weird huh? Plus there's bound to be some crazy disc sales (Amazon) to take advantage of to pad your HD DVD library. Also remember that your HD DVD player also plays standard dvd's and upscales them nicely, so it's not like it's good for nothing. But if you only want one machine, then consider a dual format player. I hope more of them come along at lower prices and because it's a nice solution to play both. No need to sell anything till it's really over and there are no more options. Stay calm.

Game play wise, there is no difference at all. The only difference is what the Special & Collector's editions come with, (which is explained in the description) and what you are willing to pay for.

And in addition to Paulos comment If you are thinking about buying another player then look somewhere else as even though this will up convert standard dvd to near hd, the hd dvd's are not produced any more and only a handful of titles are available in places like ebay. It is better than a standard dvd player but with so much blue ray readily available I would go with a blue ray player that will also play your standard dvd library.

Thanks for the response BryanWhat about xbox gaming. Since the 450 is only 720P how would xbox games that are formatted in HD look? Would I loose image quality since this is not a 1080P?thanks

No. Mine works fine. Just make sure that you get a 5400RPM. Any other will not work. Also see UTUBE if you get an error. I didn't. Make sure you do a backup to keep your trophies and game information. I did mine on an external drive due to the amount of data. You can also convert your old HD to a backup with kits on Amazon. Neat.

You need both sets to make the scanning uint the figures are nice . I like vintage because they are close to the 80's style I had when I was a kid. The legacy is more realistic in the way they look and are a good updated line. Hope this helps.

Thanks, Grumpy Jay! About 70% of my movie list is classic movies, so that's perfect! And I'm very interested in checking out the British line, too. Woohoo!I don't yet have an HD TV. Hopefully I'll get one this year, but it's on the back burner for now. I'm assuming the Roku HD Player will work even w/o HD TV, right? And I have to have wireless, I'm guessing, which I do.Thanks again, Everyone! I really appreciate all the input!CJ

2210 AD, legacy is a bit advanced and intricate for those that young. I'd stick to classic risk game if they have never played it before

Check out the Pono Store !! Also, they let you buy individual tracks (HDTracks does not!!)

Sorry friend, no backwards compstibility, I'm afraid. Use the PS store/Amazon to get your fix. PS1 digital downloads are cheap and there are HD remasters of old PS2 games available for the PS3. Happy gaming!

All the previous answers are correct. This is a great system, you wont be disappointed. The newer version isn't as good either, don't be fooled.

If you want the entire scanning device, you will need to get both sets - there are two pieces that fit together, one with each set. Vintage is the premium 3-3/4" scale line during its duration like legacy - not to be confused with the legends line which is re-releases and kit-bashes of older figures, not all of which are up to the most recent sculpting standards. The vintage collection has been replaced by and is comparable to the black series that is available now. If, on the other hand, you are looking to get something that will be played with by younger children, I would look more towards the the mission series or saga legends lines that are currently available as this set contains small parts (choking hazards) and is more tailored towards collectors.

I bought my son the hard-copy trilogy. There is plenty of DLC, however, that should make your gaming experience more enjoyable.
