I want to play the Metal Gear games, I want to start out with the first one, but I know they remade it for the gamecube with enhanced graphics and controls. So which version should I play first, the PSX version or the gamecube?

Play the original (PSX) first. Really the only thing Twin Snakes has over it is updated graphics.

Wrong. Twin snakes all the way. It's technically canon to the series, more than the PSX ver.

Alright, I'll check to see if they have twin snakes at my local used game shop, and if they don't I'll download the original PSX game to my ps3. At least that way I can play it on my vita too through remote play, and eventually on it's own.

More than the original? They're essentially the same, Twin Snakes just looks prettier.

Again wrong. There are little differences in the game that are referenced in MGS 4, things that didn't originally exist, technically speaking. Also, the cutscenes are longer in some instances.

So Twin Snakes has been retconned into being the original canon then? That explains it.

Ah, no. Same story, same location (Though there's differences in some parts; one particular puzzle in REX's hanger no longer requires you to backtrack way back to the blast furnace) updates graphics, audio, completely redone cutscenes, and all of the gameplay changes made in MGS2. (Non-lethal weapons, the ability to shoot in first person mode, etc.)

They're both essentially the same, save for a few updated things, but I prefer the original. I think they really over-exaggerated everything in Twin Snakes, like the action. The soundtrack wasn't as good and the people who had accents lost it in this one (which was later considered as canon in the later games).
