Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 physical download

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 will indeed be receiving a physical release – which isn’t surprising since Konami has pretty much always done that for the series – but collectors won’t be happy to hear that much of it requires a download.

Almost nothing appears to be included on the actual cartridge. It does contain 2.4GB of data, but it sounds like players will essentially need to download most of the actual content. The site mentions 24.1GB that’s needed, and then if you’re interested in the bonus videos, that’s another 30GB.
