I bought it for $30 because I really wanted to play it right away. It a good games despite already having MVC2 digitally on my Xbox 360. Sometimes I just wanted to play on my go-to-console and move on.

I consider any slick "deals" notifying me of front page deals, means it should not be confused with "barely beating msrp.net". $30 price is a "pretty good deal", it warranted the thumbs up here, 36% off for a collection only a few months old, & I'd accept it at front page SD. Like I've always said 75% off is a slickdeal, and what capcom always goes to.
Based on capcom's discounts history, $40 is objectively NOT a 5+ times slickdeal FRONTPAGER. Especially when we have seen just a few days later this $33 price shows up! Get ready for another upcoming discount on this great package, that's all I'm pointing out for the uninformed. Those with a backlog & see how 3rd party companies do discounts, I hope that info saves them some cash
How do you explain RE4 sale? I mean It is $19.99 now and no one is giving a massive thumb up. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something.
I would say last holiday winter was the last time to go super ultra clearance hunting for physical. This is b/c last year was Best Buy & target's last year carrying physical discs for games & movies, so anything released 2021-2023 could be physically found. That was what I hunted for the last 4 years at BB & target, unfortunately in 2023 they publicly announced the writing on the wall, they are out of the physical disc market. This surprised me, so I wanted to actively search for deals at those stores. I agree with everyone who knows that digital is just a rental & if ppl buy digital on console then you own diddily squat (steam may be the exception tho, but nobody knows the future). B/c whenever capcom feels greedy or there are licensing problems, games will be pulled from digital like MvsC2 originally got taken away from digital consoles (marvel probably renegotiated more licensing money, ie trying to extort more money from capcom). That is why physical is always best, my digital purchase price is close to $5, just a number that is a rental price.
For marvel vs capcom, I think $20 will probably be the lowest for physical. There are GameStop smart shopping inventory tricks as well if you don't mind used. Another trick is they run buy 2 get 1 free, & buy 2 get 2 free sometimes, other promos. Also Amazon used will be lower than $20, when Amazon inevitably sells new for $20. In a year, digital lowest may be $8, most likely $12 at 75% off. This is all from me seeing basically every capcom collection go that low on SD, which shocked me to remember each time.
I think you have a typo, it was never $30 yet, but I hope it will be soon
Just so everyone knows, in the future capcom could release mega man 11 with 1 through 10, and name it Deluxe, Complete, Titanium, Platinum, Anthology like you stated. Ad naseum with mega man 12, 13, etc. Alien vs Predator arcade too (like punisher arcade) & bundle it with other random or arbitrary games. Sega arcades & Konami arcades too, depending on character licensing royalties like marvel.
Also, they could do another release of MvC, adding in MvC 3, or eventually MvC 4, then name it Deluxe, Complete, Titanium, Platinum, Anthology like you said. That's why it's great to see Slicker dealios & the prices hit rock bottom, b/c it's a just matter of when marvel & capcom feel like it's been a few years & wanna get mo money & release an altered bundle of games with some added modern quality of life improvements.
I'm all for them releasing new collections often every 7 years or so, but only if the quality of life improvements are very substantial & we can all see they put in a ton of work to upgrade everything (8k resolution, zero lag, perfect netcode, across all platforms plus steam crossplay, rewind, speed settings, special stages, new characters, art gallery, huge history book & documented timelines like how Digital Eclipse does their compilations, video interviews with the developers, archived development, etc)

Double edged sword, thanks to the first buyer's nostalgia/being gaslit & buying each collection MSRP or only $10 discount, capcom is incentivized to keep making more collections. So that's good. I just wish capcom put in substantial work in the collections, like my above post. Capcom hired Digital Eclipse for mega man legacy collection 1, & they did a very good job with the creative extras. Then capcom said they did too much good work. So capcom did mega man legacy collection 2 & didn't include any extras. Doing the least amount of work to sell for the most amount of money, that's fine if the price goes lower & lower, but beginner shoppers should be made aware that it is explicitly obvious.
