Came to complain about irresponsible wastefulness in service of placating retailers, only to see that Captain Planet has made the first post, ignoring the issue.

Well better than paying $150 so you can bring the disk to your friends houses.

The PS2 version is an actual disc. This shouldn't impact it.

hahaha, no it won't. think about it. its one of the few games on the ps2 that has increased its value. plus its very rare you see one get traded in, which directly influences the price. the greater the rarity, and the more the popularity, the higher the price.

I hear the PS2 version was very rare, I think the Xbox version was too. Its funny because the PS2 version is worse than the Dreamcast version, as the DC has the same hardware as the arcade system, Naomi. I played both PS2 and DC versions, the PS2 had a couple of jerks and stutters in loading times.

Had this pre-ordered for awhile.

My Gamestop said they won't have it in until friday a day after it hits PSN so if you have to have iMvC2 on Thursday call to make sure it'll be there.

I agree. I'd love it if it was on disk form. While the packaging is nice, I'd almost always prefer a real copy.

When you trade in your system, downloadable titles on your HDD give you zilch. Nothing is rare.. nothing is of value.

You get the manual, box and a few other things thrown in you don't get when strictly buying it off of PSN. They did the same thing with Patapon 2 here in the North America.

The direct answer to the "what is the point" question would be that people who don't want to link their credit card number to a PSN account or buy one of the $20/$50 PSN voucher cards can get this game at retail and pay cash.

If I end up getting this game I'll get this in store version just for the free month of digital comics.

Yeah so pointless. Why don't they just give us a 50gb blu-ray disc for a 200mb game? Sooo much better...

I agree that this is good for those who don't want their credit card info out on PSN, but a bit of a waste for those that don't like 'download only' content in general.

@McWilly
Or a Standard DVD disc for Xbox 360 perhaps?

I see your points, but I just wish they had put out a retail disc with this. Maybe toss in the first MvC and maybe even Children of the Atom.

That compilation would cost $59.99. I guess they didn't include a disc copy of this game because of the costs of manufacturing. This gets maybe a few people interested in capcom unity and marvel digital comics.

Wow. Wasn't this supposed to be out in June? How long does it take to re-release a game that you didn't add any new art/graphical updates to? Not to be a stick in the mud, but c'mon--its not like re-inventing the wheel.

Sort of off-topic (don't worry, no gay porn)

I got MvC2 for the 360 and i completed the game with ken, ryu & akuma, but never got the achievement for completing the game with only sf characters. Did i do something wrong or are other people experiencing cheevo-drought?

Game was on normal difficulty and i used continues.

You can't use continues. You have the right characters, but you cannot die / lose a match. Happened to me too. Do it without dying and it will pop-up.

On topic, I have this for 360 and possibly will buy it if I find this box.

@Solace

This says it costs $14.99, where are you getting $19.99? What Spyder says seems perfectly valid.

This seems more like punishment for early adopters. Capcom knew that plenty of people would buy the original release, but there would be a few stragglers that need a little motivation.

Capcom Unity points and Marvel Comics trial enters. The game book sounds stupid? 8 pages and that's all!? How about 2 characters a page with really good artwork and color? That would make people care.

Whatever, scrub. Gaming elitists like you are why we've been (and in some ways continue to be) marginalized for years.

Everybody has the right to discover great games like this and complaining because something you've loved for years is now popular is begging people to label you.

i don't hate them. i like to use the eb website, but the last few times i had trouble with my card and orders being stopped at the last minute. i started to use amazon which is good because no tax and free shipping. i don't mind stopping into a store once in the blue and finding something old but i like my new stuff to come unopened.
