Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker HD Edition Premium Package

The Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker HD Edition Premium Package on Xbox 360 leads with a 10-inch Snake figure from the Play Arts Kai line in Battle Dress Version, and if you know anything about Play Arts Kai, you know that's not a throwaway pack-in. These are articulated, detailed figures with real collector credibility, and getting one bundled with the game was a serious value proposition for Metal Gear fans on Microsoft's platform. A soundtrack CD with 14 tracks pulls Peace Walker's military atmosphere off the screen, and an Xbox 360 exclusive code to download the Peace Walker Avatar adds a platform-specific touch that's increasingly rare to find unredeemed.

Peace Walker's jump to HD on the 360 was notable in itself. This was a PSP title remastered and brought to a console where Metal Gear had a complicated history, and the Premium Package treated the port with the reverence the game deserved. The Play Arts Kai Snake figure has held its value remarkably well, as these figures tend to do.

Finding the complete Premium Package with the figure, soundtrack, and unredeemed avatar code is the kind of hunt that keeps Metal Gear collectors up at night. Kojima's legacy on the 360 is smaller than on PlayStation, which makes editions like this feel even more significant to the collectors who care about cross-platform completism.
