The original plan for the srotyline, plans for what the characters may have looked like, and about a thousand other cool and suprisingly interesting bits.

I haven’t really checked out the extra disc. But is not actually a DVD as it wont play in a DVD player. Its PS2 specific DVD ROM, which is slight let down.

I personally of what I’ve played of it so far its worth more like an 8 than 7. But in saying that OPS2 original score for MGS2 was a tad high at 10.
Its enjoyable and the skate board bit isn’t as bad a OPS2 said, it definitely isn’t THPS but it isn’t terrible.
Personally I didn’t rate the splinter cell demo so I plumed for substance, may get splinter cell latter. But Argos made me buy a cube, and there is a few good games on that I would like to get.
On a side note Asher free isn’t a bargain as a bargain requires something to be on sale at a lower price than its true value. ;P

OK, I'm half convinced. I'll try to GAD it. That way I figure expending a little brain power for a game I've already completed but with extras is a lot better than shelling out the rest of my gaming budget for April :)
OPS2 are mindless gorillas.
It's definitely value for money.
Missions, Snake Tales, and Skateboarding, all offer about as much, or maybe more challenge as the full game. And, sans skateboarding, probably last longer as well.

This is what is putting me off, OPSM2 mag said:
"Are you prepared to buy MGS2 again at full price just for these 'extras', which could arguably have been included in the original release? We can guess what Otacon's answer would be." and "Others should question what they are actually getting for the £39.99 price tag."
They then go on to point out that if you haven't already got the original then of course they'd rate this as a 10/10 game, but because they, like me, think it's just the same game with add-ons they only gave it a 7/10.
So for me, at this stage, it's not good value for money, especially since I just bought Splinter Cell today as well.

Absolutely.
The content of the original MGS2 is all here - and it makes up about 15% of the whole package. Definitely worth buying.

i have completed mgs2:sons of liberty multiple times and don't really think substance is really worth the price, do you think the new additions justify buying it again for that price?
I picked it up today for free, bargain.
