I understand where your coming from, but buying a copy of the game now, at the cheapest prices would be around $50-$60, with no net play, no unlocked characters, "re-mastered" graphics. Plus, it would probably take 1 1/2-2 years to "fix" any issues with his game, etc, like HDr was to ST, thus it wouldnt even be MvC2 anymore. So $15 isnt bad at all for what you get, IMO.
