DAMN


I decided to give it a shot this morning, so after work I head down to the Super Walmart at 4am... Walk in and sure enough, they have about a dozen Deluxe and 3 Standard sitting on the shelf in electronics. I take a Deluxe up to the counter, hardly able to contain myself...

It won't scan. Obviously it really has been locked out of the system.  Angry  Sad The lady is confused. "I don't get this... I wonder which one of these is the UPC?" I do nothing to bring what the obvious problem is to light, and instead stoke the flames of her confusion... Hoping for a reprieve from this sentence... Hoping some confused supervisor will come over and bless this transaction with their magic touch...

No dice.  Cry Everyone was playing hard ball. When the game is actually released I'll buy it from Target, just because I'm pissed that they were such bastards about it.  Wink

You shoulda gotten all angry and been like 'what the heck?!  I need to go!  I have an important meeting this morning and I just thought Id come by and get this game for my (insert young relative).  This is crazy, Lemme talk to your manager"

And when the manager told you that it was not available you should have yelled at him/her about how its on the shelf and milked it so much so that you could get a discount.

I just picked my copy up around this afternoon at Best Buy.  I called this Best Buy yesterday and the guy said they had the FSX guide books, but not the game, so I checked at the Best Buy on the other side of town, and they gave me the story about not being able to sell it until the 17th, so I gave up hope, but then after class today, I decided to call the first Best Buy again to see if they had got any copies in, and the guy on the phone goes, "ummmmmmm...................yes." Shocked  I nearly soiled myself, so I drove over there quick and the shelves were full of both versions of FSX.  So, I picked up my Deluxe copy, and have been flying all afternoon. Grin

I've got a few screens in the "What I've heard" thread here in the FSX forum, and a couple more my "FSX Maule" thread in the "Freeware Screenshots" forum. Wink

HERE and HERE

Well, even though the game comes out soon, i probably won't get it for a while Angry

By the way, will you be able to upgrade the standard so that is has the features the deluxe has?

Just wondering Tongue

Yeah, Wal-Mart gave me the run around too. I noticed today that they had 3 copies basically hidden on the games shelf. When the cashier tried to scan it, it didn't work. Then I went to Best Buy and bought it with no problem. Roll Eyes

I decided to spend a little extra and get the deluxe edition. I've only flown it a little bit though because my computer isn't quite up to it. I know I need more RAM, and probably a new vid card too. Is anyone else getting good results running an Nvidia GeForce 6600GT?

I went back to Wal-mart to get a second copy for a friend and they wouldn't sell it to me either.  Looks like a few of us got away with it then they clamped down the lid.  I tried Best Buy too, but no luck...  Tongue

Ah-hah! Thanks for the reply. I thought my problem was mostly RAM, and I was planning on getting that first before spending money on a vid card that I will just replace again when DX10 comes out. Wink

Geez you guys.... You're making me want to throw caution to the wind and drive 35 miles to the nearest Best Buy... Even though my guardian angel is telling me it's only going to amount to a waste of gas and frustration.  Sad

LOL


It would just be my luck that this Best Buy would hard line me too, after the long drive.
