Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater has been released across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. For those seeking a physical console copy, the Tactical Edition is still an option. This special edition includes a voucher for the Sneaking DLC Pack, which provides 10 cosmetic items for Solid Snake, including a variety of alternate suits. Given that the Sneaking DLC Pack retails for $15 independently, acquiring it through the Tactical Edition offers a free bonus.
For fans who aimed to acquire the elusive Collector`s Edition on its release day, it appears to be technically available for PlayStation 5 at Walmart. However, this availability comes with a significant caveat: Walmart is currently listing the Collector`s Edition for an astonishing $329.90, which is $130 above its official Manufacturer`s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Notably, this isn`t a third-party seller on Walmart`s marketplace; the retailer itself is selling and shipping the Collector`s Edition at this inflated cost. It`s worth noting that Walmart sometimes restricts certain items to specific regions within the US.
Previously, the Collector`s Edition for both Xbox and PS5 was priced even higher at $337.86. The Xbox version has since sold out, suggesting that consumers are indeed willing to pay these elevated prices for the PlayStation variant. Speculation exists that some purchasers might be hoping for a partial refund due to the overcharge, though relying on such an outcome is uncertain. Nevertheless, Walmart`s policy of free 30-day returns offers an option for those who might reconsider the $330 price point.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Collector`s Edition
The Collector`s Edition bundles the Tactical Edition along with the Sneaking DLC Pack. Its scarcity in stock is understandable, given the appeal of its exclusive items. Highlights include a striking Terrarium Diorama and a unique steelbook. The diorama vividly brings to life a scene from the game`s initial mission, while the steelbook features iconic artwork by Yoji Shinkawa, reminiscent of the original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
The contents of the Collector`s Box are:
- Collector`s Box
- Terrarium Diorama
- Steelbook Case
- Snake`s ID Card Lanyard
- Halo Jump Patch
- Fox Patch
