I've just noticed an Amazon advert on the Simflight front page for pre-ordering FSX and FSX Deluxe.What I find totally unacceptable is the price. The US price for FSX Deluxe is 64.99USD but the British price is 54.99UKP. When you consider the current exchange rate is 1.90 US dollars for 1 Pound I think they've got a flamin' cheek!I think local state tax has to be added to the US price and the UK one is inclusive of tax but that still doesn't account for the massive price difference.When are we Brits going to get a decent deal on US software. :-hmmm

LOL, I could say the same thing for the products I buy from Simmarket, Aerosoft and other European sites, the conversion from Dollars to Euro kills us, :-)Regards, MichaelKDFWhttp://www.calvirair.com/mcpics/ambanner.jpg

If you give me your copy of Project Magenta, I'll pay the difference on FSX for you.:(

http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw...7&category_oid=PC World have it listed for 19.99 GBP (with free delivery)! They only have the one edition listed though and I suspect it to be the standard.

"When are we Brits going to get a decent deal on US software."When you convert to the U.S. Dollar? :-lol

That

I live in Hawaii, and we are used to getting ripped off for everything. We just call it the price of paradise.scott s..

>"When are we Brits going to get a decent deal on US>software.">>When you convert to the U.S. Dollar? :-lol I'm all for it Tom, as long as us Brits can earn the same amount of wages that you guys do?Just tell me where the cheapest place to learn to fly in the real world is, eh?

Ray,Just be patient and wait for it to arrive on www.play.com shelves?

Understood, and of course Great Britain is a paradise comparable to Hawaii in terms of climate, weather and.... oh, wait...Regards,http://www.bremmekamp.com/img/misc/avsim.jpg

Yes, and getting rid of VAT (17.5%?) might help as well.

Hi there,Just a quick question; has the release date been confirmed yet by Microsoft. I read posts saying that the MS guys have confirmed an October release and yet i'm unable to find any evidence of this so called release date? It still says holiday 2006, which hardly suggests that the product will be released in October??RegardsJames

It has to be the standard version Bernard, but I have emailed them to ask if we can pre-order the deluxe version and what the cost will.Ray, I agree we are being ripped off again.Using the 'other' site's shop you can convert from $ to
