I'd keep it, wait until Kojima dies, then sell it for a fucking mint.

Does Psyburn have a ps3? I thought he just bought it so he could also get it signed.

Those guys are just stupid.  Why get it before a PS3 when chances are that there will be copies of the game available by the time they buy the system?

to get it signed by hideo kojima/just in case there's an error in an early copy/because they can.

In order to get something signed by Hideo Kojima, whose autograph is extremely rare and valuable??

Errors in anything make them sell for more if they get fixed quickly to collectors. I've seen like Yu-Gi-Oh! cards with no name that go for like 5x the price (in the hundred dollar range, basically), or even just a simple typo on a game case or something dumb like that can really add to the price when you sell it.

Because collectors like to collect this shit.

How is it rare and valuable when he travels all over the world and signs to thousands of people?

i didn't!!

there's a lot of people who don't go to these things man, or live in other states not there. There's like, 90% of the US states along not represented, and not every metal gear fan who loves kojima went there, so.

Yeah, it's funny. I had a talk with Handsome Lamb and I estimated that the autographs on a game would go around $200. Yeah, that's an expensive game but overall it's not that valuable. Go buy a painting or something.

Those 300 limited sleeves that goes for at least $399 right now are what can become somewhat valuable though. Everyone else thought they were clever and got the game signed when they should have tried to obtain something far more exclusive. At least you got that MG2 thingy signed, that's good.

ya but dude for a normal signature okay but i was pretty sure we were talking about MG2 with Kojima silver marker signature (the only mg2 i know that was signed by him lately (possibly ever), and the only thing to be signed in silver prettysure too) which would obviously be worth WAY WAY more than 200$.

hell mg2 by itself is easily close to the 200$ range now, I think.
