No, but you can download it off the PS store whenever.

I don't know anything about making video games but it seems they can't remaster a PS1 game, the one in the steelbook version is just a code for the PS store download. The U.S. version is $20 cheaper so if you decided on the NA version over the Steelbook, then you have $20 extra and MGS1 only costs 10!
Thanks for clarifying mike. Sometimes I just need things explained really well to get it. Now I understand. I wasn't aware of the PS1 games being incompatible for remastering (why?) but it makes sense as I've never seen a PS1 game remastered. I will be getting both versions (zavvi and North America) because they're both special (NA comes w/ that nice art book - zavvi obviously the coveted steelbook and all games).

I was being dense. I'm aware that MGS1 is available on PSN store, but see, to me, a collection like this isn't complete unless at LEAST a paper DLC code is included for MGS1. It's about the principle of "completionist" collecting. People that want a complete collection, want something physical and at the very least the paper DLC code is physical and acceptable to me for completion. It's like with all american games now...fuckin' DLC codes don't come on those nice printed, designer papers anymore...we only get them on receipts or in email. Pathetic...

Thanks mike and matrix! big help...
