Hey guys, is it me, or does the vocals in MGS2 HD collection comes from every speaker (Left, Right, Rears) rather than the center speaker during cutscenes? It's really annoying! MGS3 and PW sounds great though.

I'm using simulated surround sound from my TV set :monkey1

I bet that KojiPro didn't consider your awesome surround sound set-up. They thought they could get away with it, but now the truth is out! :monkey4
 
...since anime island most probably screwed up my order again.

If you ordered a Red Raiden from Anime Island; you won't be getting it.

This is the email I got from James Riddle yesterday when I emailed him asking when I could expect to receive my pre-order, which I placed back in Nov 2012...

"This will not be filled, Diamond only got 62 pieces total instead of the 3000 they told me they actually ordered even though they said it was going to be limited to 1000 pieces and gave/split them to their 4 highest selling dealers who ordered them, each dealer got 15 or 16 pieces depending on their rank and is now selling them for $170+ on Amazon. So they will not be able to secure more they just told us not 5 minutes ago on the phone after I called them after seeing your message. So we can either refund your order or offer you a Regular Raiden figure at the same price that they just shipped us last week. Let me know."

Yeah...I won't be ordering from them again.

Obviously this is false as BBTS had over 70 available to order yesterday afternoon even AFTER the SOLD OUT pre-orders they took; there's no way there were only 62 pieces from Diamond. I'm guessing Anime Island got shorted or ordered too late and simply didn't get theirs...though who knows...?

I tried it at a friend's surround setup with his PS3 and had the same results. The conclusion? MGS2 has annoying audio during cutscenes as they incorrectly come from all angles while the Codec instead maintains from center speaker.

As for MGS3, there are some audio distortions during gameplay here and there but at least the cutscenes are balanced.

MGS4 on the other hand, is simply one of the best surrounds I've ever heard, period. You owe it to yourself to play this in surround sound! :yess:

I doubt these problems would bother the average gamer but if you're an audiophile, MGS2 is a bit of a disappointment.

Anyway, back to the topic.

I emailed them for a refund and I have yet to hear from them...
 
There's a seller on ebay that puts premium Kaz up there for $55 USD all the time.

And there are dozens of the japanese premium peace walker which has the battle dress version. A bunch of them are under $100 USD.

Really?? Never seen them...do they tittle them differently? Do they acknowledge that they are premium versions? I'm going to try and search them now!

I know there is a china based seller selling the premium Kaz. Shes a very nice seller! I paid directly via paypal and she gave me $7 off. Shipment arrived in a week in perfect condition. Though the premium kaz box has no serial no. at the bottom. Anyone else ha this issue? Hope i didn't get a bootleg :/

Anime island is just full of BS. They always have the worst excuses! Never going to order from them again.
 
For those who own the Medicom Old Snake-Olive Drab version,i need some advice.I took out mine today after 2 years in the box and i noticed the suit was weakly discoloured,weak orange-ish areas on the suit.It's only noticable in sunlight or using a flashlight or similar on it.

Im gonna sell it so i need to know if this was normal from the start or if this has happened over the years while it was in the box?

Any help would be HIGHLY appreciated.I can take a pic later to give you an idea what im talking about.
 
Oh man... sorry to hear that :monkey1. Selling it seems like a good idea if the rubber is starting to degrade.
