Dang your right. The big print giveth and the small print taketh away.Bob

We should be used to it by now, but don't forget we have the joy of paying an extra 17.5% to celebrate being European.I think sales tax in the US is only around 7-8% so that does make a difference.I also notice that FS2004 is available for pre-order from Amazon.com but nothing showing at amazon.co.uk, but Tom's press preview is a UK edition :-hmmm

Still, as you say, we should be used to it by now.Tom's copy is a beta don't forget. In any event, if things run true to form, we'll be looking at late August/early September before it hits the UK.

For me, the best price is where I can get it. There have been too many horror stories of the preorders showing up 2-3 weeks (or more!)after the release is available in the local shops. It may cost a bit more to drive down and pick it up, but it's a sure thing that way (shipping's free too :-) ).Doug
