Amazon accidentally sends a PSP gamer four copies ofMetal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. The PSP is still the only place that fans can play this iteration ofMetal Gear Solid, and now this gamer has three extra copies of the game due to Amazon’s mistake.
Rumors of aMetal Gear Solid 3remake with Virtuosare starting to heat up, as the company just recently added Konami to its client list with the possibility of an announcement at The Game Awards in December. As a result, fans and newcomers alike may want to dust off their old copies, or purchase them to play while they still can. One gamer did just that, as they purchasedMetal Gear Solid: Portable Opsfrom Amazon, but they received more than what they bargained for.

Reddit User 1-Eyed_Mad_Dragon-04 posted an image showcasing 4 total copies ofMetal Gear Solid: Portable Opsstacked on top of each other, which they had received from Amazon after purchasing a copy of the game. Perhaps what is most striking about the image is being reminded of theclassic PlayStation logo. The user ponders whether the package was intentional or just a mistake, and asks the community if it’s happened to anyone else. The community responds by suggesting that the extra copies could be resold, while some even ask if they can purchase a copy themselves.
Unfortunately,Portable Opsmultiplayer servers are down, so offering the extra copies to others so that the game can be enjoyed together would be out of the question. However, it does bring up memories of what could have been regarding thepotential of the PSP and PS Vitain reference to what the Nintendo Switch is now, as those PlayStation handhelds came to be known as ahead of their time, at least in some regard. The PlayStation handhelds were home to manyMetal Gear Solidtitles, such asMGS1,MGS2andMGS3HD,Portable Ops,Peace Walker, and even the spinoffMetal Gear Acidtitles. Players with a PS Vita could have access to every mainlineMetal Gear Solidtitle other thanMGS4andMetal Gear Solid 5.
Metal Gear Solidfans may be hopeful that this was intentional, seeing as how Amazon could be clearing space for a potentialMetal Gear Solidcomeback, similar to theSilent Hillresurgence from Konami. However, it was almost certainly a mistake, although the possibilities of what’s to come regarding the future ofMetal Gear Solidis still fun to think about.
