The price will be whatever the marketing men will decide the market will bear .... not out here in Oz of course, if Strile Fighters Gold and BoB 2 retailing at A$89.95 Shocked is any indication!!!!
However, as this particular Wombat has no intention of being a beta tester for MS (one should never buy v.1 of ANYTHING!) the price will probably have come down in a year or so along with the usual patch or two. Grin

Over here in the UK FS9 was a staggering £79.99 when it was released. I not only couldn't afford that back then, but my computer couldn't take it either.

Probably the 1.6 Gig processor combined with a slow front side buss. Wink.

Unfortunately FS2004 is about WAY more than the video card.

BTW... did you mean to post this in the fs2004 forum?

best,

or go to a Market pro convention and get it for half the price of whatever it is when it gets released!

I remember getting FS9 for about 25 bucks at a convention. It was suppose to be $49.99!
 
Its only in your mind, strong mind, strong soul and nobody can take that from you!

It's a fight between UK and Italy over the title of who was more ripped off then.

How could I ever forget the price of FS9 when it was released, everywhere you went it was nailed down to €99.90 (which is a smartass way to make you pay 100 hoping you don't realize you're paying 100). Undecided

Haha, here in Australia a NEW, top quality game often retails for $99.99+ !!! .

I'm pretty sure you can expect a relatively predictable price.

Erm i might be being realy stupid, but why do you need a DVD player for FSX? I've had my internet cut for a while so i've not had time to catch up.

Cheers Folks

There are two schools of thought for pricing something like a flightsim-- or just about anything of similar construction: at what price the market will bear and at what price that generates the best response.  Porno is priced much higher than it costs to produce it because people will buy it. "As seen on TV" stuff is priced for the best response (while still turning a handsome profit) because the producer wants to sell an s-pot full of them while the interest is high, before the next greatest thing ever to hit the market hits the market. I will risk it all and say that M-soft will price at what the market will bear because the next iteration of the sim won't be out for a few years and we are all waiting with crumpled-up $20s in our sweaty little hands, ready to rush the ramparts as soon as FSXXVII hits the shelves.

DVD has storage capacity of approx 4.7Gb versus 700Mb on a CD; ergo, FSX will come on one DVD versus 5, 6 or 7 CDs.
