I'm bored. Having to wait 2 months for the test results on my pharmacy test can get boring real quick, especially when I have "no" job yet. Grin

Late December I think. They will find a last minute glitch of some kind and delay the release with a few months. Not that I care, I'm not going to buy it anyway. I'll stick to FS9.

I don't think many Europeans are going to buy it in any case. "I wonder why? Lmao."

I have a feeling it'll probably come out very carefully timed, i.e. xmas sales peak.

I also have a feeling it will be just as much a total flop as their last one was. Grin

1. To miss Xmas with FSX by releasing it in mid-late December would be foolish. It takes a min 2-3 weeks to ship and insure delivery/display setup on a large order. Microsoft will not miss the Thanksgiving shopping season because that would kill sales. They are already missing Xmas for VISTA which may not make it out until March if things do not change over the next month.

2. It will be shipped by October 31 for sure. When will stores have it available on the shelves is another story and that will probably be announced in September.

3. Pre-shipped: Undefined. Possibly late September to mid October however nobody is talking right now so it is hard to say. I would not put an order in for preshipped product. You may not see it when you think you might. At the same time, if it is released early in the USA (as I expect it will to Amazon) Europe private sites will gouge people by placing huge US Amazon orders for early Oct. ...If you are in Europe, don’t get screwed, just wait a few weeks.

.... Shipped and available (legally released) are 3 different things. MS may ship a month before they allow distribution.

It is undefined at this point

If you are going to preorder, Amazon would be the best bet but they do not have the 'go-ahead' so the date they post can still change.

Loosing should be spelt losing fozzer Cheesy

1. Not fastened, restrained, or contained: loose bricks.
2. Not taut, fixed, or rigid: a loose anchor line; a loose chair leg.
3. Free from confinement or imprisonment; unfettered: criminals loose in the neighborhood; dogs that are loose on the streets.
4. Not tight-fitting or tightly fitted: loose shoes.
5. Not bound, bundled, stapled, or gathered together: loose papers.
6. Not compact or dense in arrangement or structure: loose gravel.
7. Lacking a sense of restraint or responsibility; idle: loose talk.
8. Not formal; relaxed: a loose atmosphere at the club.
9. Lacking conventional moral restraint in sexual behavior.
10. Not literal or exact: a loose translation.
11. Characterized by a free movement of fluids in the body: a loose cough; loose bowels.

P.s. You're right Fozzer it is fun correcting others spelling mistakes. lol Cheesy

Firstly it's "you've" not "you'ver"

Secondly it's "from" not "friom" Grin

Thirdly it's "You're" not "Your" as you are saying "you are" not specifying an object that belongs to him.

It is very satisfying....Any chance to pick up on someone else's mistake.

For the very first time, FS will not be "US Centric." Why would Europeans not wish to buy it?

BTW, RTM is scheduled for simultaneous world-wide release... IOW, it will be available to everyone on the same day, including the special build foreign language editions. Grin
