Were you hoping to grab either Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots<\/a> or Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD<\/a> from the PS Store<\/a> this week?<\/p>\n

Probably not, right? But tough luck if you were, because Konami has ripped them from Sony\u2019s PS3 storefront without any prior notice.<\/p>\n

Word has spread across social media<\/a> about the delistings, and it even expands to the original PSP version of Peace Walker as well. Existing owners will still be able to download the games from their libraries, but no new purchases will be allowed.<\/p>\n

Without warning, Konami have delisted the Xbox 360\/PS3\/PSP version of Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker and the 2014 PSN release of Metal Gear Solid 4<\/p>\n

The store page for PW HD on PS3 is completely gone.<\/p>\n

The company has clearly removed them in preparation for the PS5\u2019s new Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol 2<\/a>, which includes updated ports of both of the aforementioned games<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the logic makes no real sense to us: we can\u2019t imagine many people will be dusting off their crusty old consoles in order to purchase these ahead of the new compilation. And isn\u2019t the whole point of the Master Collection to make these games more accessible on modern hardware anyway?<\/p>\n

Regardless of its goals, Vol 2 doesn\u2019t release until 27th August, so it could have given fans notice about these impending delistings, and removed them later in the year, when the new bundle drops.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been loving this resurrected Konami recently, but this is a bad look.<\/p>\n
