I love the new cover artwork.

If someone could scan the slipcover too that would be great.

Thanks

Bought this, but you'll have to wait until it ships to my house. In addition, my scanner has been acting up so you may not get scans from me at all. :( If my scanner does end up working, walmart.com says it'll be at my house towards the end of the week. (I'm guessing Thursday-Saturday)

Never played any of the MGS games and I'm so excited for such a cheap reprint. Looks like such an awesome series.

can't wait untill you scan all of these in!

i'll hold off from upping my revised ps1 template untill then so i can get the correct deminsions for the vertical style.

also, the Meatl Gear Solid games are awesome. the first is the best in my opinion.

My scanner is working again, so I can almost guarantee that if I'm not too busy playing MGS I can upload scans. Would you prefer 600dpi shenske? (I know I would)

yeah 600dpi would be awesome!

for the first metal gear game can you up a 300dpi version and a 600 dpi version?

thanks doom

I saw an updated? version of the sleeve and it appears that "PlayStation" is actually vertical on the MGS1 cover, like in a standard US PS1 CD case. I hope I'm wrong and it's horizontal like "PlayStation 2".

Nope, vertical like the original PS1 CD cases. In related news, I was hoping it would be shipped here today, but looks like I'll have to wait until at least tomorrow. And it damn well better be here tomorrow. I can't wait until Monday. It's simply not possible. :)

Yeah, that's what I figured. I was hoping that the first game would look like the first box in this picture:

it looks like sony had some confusion on what style to use.   :)

i can convert the vertical style official release cover to the horizantal style when its scanned.

that way everyone is happy  ;D

I think they should have also used the current MGS logo for consistency.

Both links you posted are the same. Neither one is the outer cardboard sleeve and both are actually only 96dpi, not 300 or 600.

by link i think you mean pictures, they are just preview pictures untill doom scans in the real ones.

no one is using those for making a cover, they are way to small  :)
