Download only kills this.

Who wants to pay $50-$60 for a disk version of this when a $15 DL gets the job done?

What does a disc and packaging cost a studio to produce? $5 perhaps? Why do they keep making this decision for the customer? Me, I would pay for certain titles on disc. I'm an old guy. I fart and 10 years passes. I don't want to be logged in, online, my 360 HD still kickin' to enjoy Hydro Thunder, or After Burner, Death Smiles 2, years from now. Tell me if they put an option on their websites with a 6 - 8 week turn around for physical discs @$50 they wouldn't sell out pre-orders and make just the right number where they didn't have overstock. Why not cater to everyone? In this market the morons are the ones making the choices FOR their customers, instead of taking the money being offered. They could have your $15, and my $50. Instead they just get your money.

They dont want used market on those games, they know you'll say "Hey it's only $10, I can get that", with out realizing that in few years it may not work at all, especially DRM games. Next time they will re-release the games on PS4 or Next Xbox and make the money again.

Nah, I'm not going to sink any money into a DL-only release if it might not play in 5 years, especially when all three major consoles are at the end of their lifespan and are actively awaiting their replacements.

I bought it, even though I have basically all the versions of these games elsewhere, right down to the Sega CD MK1. I like it, I'm glad it was $10...
But I'd rather have a physical copy. Or, in this day and age, would I? Only if they included a good manual with color pics, and they surely wouldn't do that, it's becoming so common to either include a super lame b & w manual or none at all...

Overall I'd say it's worth the $10, but barely. No good extras really, the moves list menu is slightly glitchy (freezes you for a few crucial seconds when you return from the menu, doesn't always even let you access it), and could just be a bit smoother as a whole package. But it's nice to have right there on the Xbox menu to have a quick round or two here and there. It's convenient if lazy.

now if I could just find a decent controller to play it with...I don't really want an arcade stick...just a decent dpad will do.
