Metal Gear Solid 2 blows, it's by far the worst in the series. MGS3: Subsistence is the best. It's definitely worth tracking down Subsistence to play on PS3, but I wouldn't waste your time on regular vanilla MGS3.

Original MGS > MGS3 > MGS2. If you can forgive the old school graphics then original MGS is great fun. MGS3 became a boring cutscene fueled yawn fest for me I'm afraid.

Cheers

Old school MGS graphics are fine, but theres always the near-carbon-copy complete remake "Twin Snakes" on the cube, if you want them better.

I'm sure I'll enjoy MGS4 when it hits, but I'm more interested in this-

White Knight Story, from Level 5. They tend to do good stuff, and I'm particularly fond of Dark Cloud/Chronicle 2, so I've high hopes for this one.

Oh good - I thought it was just me!

Loved MGS and played it to death, but couldn't be arsed to finish the PS2 iterations. Tried several times, but just kept getting bored.

Might pick up the remake of the original for the Cube though, if I can find a copy.

How does Portable Ops stack up?

So I'd be better off finding a copy of Twin Snakes and playing that on my Wii, then? And a copy of MGS3:Subsistence for on the PS3, sounds good to me...

I've got to say that I fully believe Subsistence to be better than the PS1/Gamecube MGS. The story to gameplay ratio is just about even (once you get past the interlude between the opening operation and the main game) and Subsistence is just more fun. No radar, a solid, over the shoulder camera, and fun with camouflage for both Snake and the enemy. I replayed MGS1 because I wanted both endings. I'll replay Subsistence because it's so much fun. Plus it's got a bonus play mode where you capture Ape Escape monkeys.

Sure.
The only difference between TwinSnakes and the original are the (vastely) improved graphics, some extensions/re-direction in the cutscenes, and a little SK twist to one of the boss fights.

I have heard some people find the voice acting of the original better but, personaly, I think theres nothing in it.

The voice work is better in Twin Snakes. Mei Ling doesn't sound like a Chinese prostitute (although a lot of anime nerds seem to think she sounds cute in the original).

Does MGS work under emulation on the PSP?

No sign of Heavenly Sword this morning

In fact, no new content at all that I could see...

360 online releases tend to appear at midnight GMT, do PSN releases appear at midnight EST?

The firmware updates are normally there when I get up on a morning at about 5:30
