That sounds about right, however, we have to tend with the rip off factor here in Europe. Lets take a middle figure and say  $55 for FSX. This is about 45 Euros. This would make FSX far too cheap for us, so we would be paying about 55 Euros, which is about $66. Even FS2004 get the treatment. Amazon US sells FS9 for $29.99 or 24 Euros. Amazon Germany sells FS9 for 39.99 Euros or $48. I have also seen FS9 for 50 Euros or $60. Even Fs2002 is still top dollar here, I bet in the US it is at the bottom of the bargin  bucket :'( ::)

the game has to be at least $50, thats how much FS9 was when released.

No use trying to guess how much it will cost, only time will tell.


....And i'm sure most of us will buy it no matter what the price is ;)

That must be the most accurate statement yet concerning FSX 8)

The DVD player is already becoming a stock item for most computers. My computer came with a stock DVD drive that can play and burn both CDs and DVDs. I remember back in my young years [when I first used a computer] that USB ports were a rarity for computers. Now, we use them for almost anything. You can even power an iron with the USB port.

Anyways, I say [with hands down] that the price will be about $70. As Essel had said, we will buy the sim regardless of the price. It's what we simers do. ;D

Well it would probably be between the $50 and $60 in the U.S.  and considering that europe is much, much more xpensive than the U.S. , especially here in the South of France... so i reckon it'll be around the same amount in Euros, between the 50 and 60  ;)

You can bet your boots that Microsoft are looking at threads like this and saying to themselves....
"Hey Lads, It looks like those suckers out there are willing to pay $100+ for their favourite Flight Sim, so how about that's what we will charge them...all those in favour?..."... ;)...!

You bet...;)...!

To be fair, they've given all of us enough time to save up for it by the looks of things, even if it does cost $100 or

I wouldn't be surprised if it was $70+. I remember I bought FS2002 new for $59.99, FS9 was 64.99. $5 incriments. :)
