This is still unconfirmed by MS. There are articles about this on a couple of other sites...

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Yeah I heard about that. $70? Man that's really cheap. In the UK FS9 sold for £70 - that's about $120.

Lol true, but I think MS will say and keep to it. It probably is already produced and fully formed and they are unlikely to make many more changes to it. I bet they can't release it until Vista. After all remember they are severely behind release date. I thought for ages they would release it with the "Longhorn" as it was known back then.

Probably when it's expected to come through - with reasons why though.

TES IV: Oblivion was expected to come out on the 20th of March this year because it was the end of Q1 of Bethesdas (developer of game) fiscal year.

It turns out it did come out then Wink

That september:
Oh, we're still working out the bugs. Two more weeks max.

Two weeks later:
Okay, next week.

Next week:
Almost done.

Next month:
Okay, done! *Mobile phone rings* Hello, oh. okay. yah. Sorry, won't be out till December.

$70 USD make FSX far cheaper in the UK considering that the Euro is stronger than the Dollar. Grin
