Hello guys!
hope someone can help me out with this (and probably a lot of us MGS fans who cant afford buying stuff from Japan).
The thing is I want to change the actual NTSC MGS HD Collection cover (mostly the front, Im ok with the back, but it can have a Barcode since someone asked some time ago for a custom cover and it didnt incluide de barcode) with the artwork featured in the Japanese premium package from Konamistyle, thats bassicaly adapting the cover of the book, adding that (i think) Solid Snake red artwork, the transfarring and KojiPro logos at the bottom right, and Konami logo upper left.
I was thinking that it should have the "M" esrb rating logo since the "T-M"one is too ugly, but if it still works thats fine, the thing is to replicate the cover the most NTSC-form, possibly.
I couldt scan any artwork since I do not own the limited edition, but found this pics of the pack to guide whoever may help with this request:

And also fount this slightly hi-res pic of the game logo:

THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCED!



EDIT: thanks for the update, I download the pic and uoploaded to imgur, the one Im looking for is the ps3 box at the bottom of the pic!

I can't really help as I'm still a noob artwork editor and I don't own the version you want, but I may be interested in this project in the future as I'm looking to get the HD collection. 

I just wanted to point out that the first link you posted seems to be broken.

Sorry I still can't be of any help.  Is the MGSHD Collection worth buying just for Peace Walker?

Just for Peace Walker... possibly, it is a fun game, and was unofficially considered Metal Gear Solid 5 by Hideo Kojima during development.  Although why would you want to skip out on 2 and 3?  Even if you've played them to death, it's always fun to go back to them.  I don't think I can ever get tired of them. 

As for the cover, I've scoured everywhere I can think of to find a good version of the image, but nothing, in English or Japanese.  However, I did realize that if someone in the US bought the Collector's Edition version, the cover of the art book is the same as the Japanese's Premium game cover, with the exception of the missing red Solid Snake (understandable, since Metal Gear Solid (1) isn't contained in the English versions).  The exact red image of Snake isn't available separately as far as I can tell, unless it found it's way into that art book or into one of the Yoji Shinkawa files, but I can't find scans of either.

So, tl;dr, if someone has the Collector's Edition art book and can scan in the cover, it'd be pretty easy to just take a different Yoji Shinkawa Snake image, tint it red, and use it, or just leave it out altogether since the game isn't actually in the collection, and you'd be halfway there.

It's not that I would "skip out" on 2 and 3, it's just that I already own them on the PS2.  So I don't feel like I'm gaining a whole lot by getting them in HD.  Nevertheless, if I had the collection I would probably play them again at some point.

I'll probably pick it up...

Fun fact, you don't actually need ALL the dogtags.  At least, not on the Tanker chapter.  You just have to get enough to unlock everything, which does mean all the ones on the Plant...  I hate Extreme Solidus's torture scene.  Actually broke an XBOX controller trying to pass it by slamming Optimus Prime's gun over the button back and forth.  Sadly, I'm not making that up either...
