>By the way tdragger can you say whether or not that date is>accurate? An official confirmation/denial/PR spin would be>appreciated :) Yeah, there's loads of us wanting to be the first to write a "Release date for FSX confirmed" thread. :-lol

I get 600KB/sec from Gamespot, not bad at all.

I would imagine it will be up on all of the major file sites shortly after the 'exclusive' gamespot promotion. A day or so at the most probably.

It's usually even less than a day. Sometimes hours.

Servers will die. :-)

The server managers are already taking cover in their rage proof bunkers pending the onslaught :)

It will spread like a wild fire over the internet. I think there will be more places to download it, other than Fileplanet or Gamespot.

>Hmm... what's the one thing Microsoft and Gamespot both>want?>>>>>>>>Money! :(Yeah how horrible that is, my boss keeps telling me that my hard work should be offered for free regardless if I have to pay my rent and child support.

Shouldn't www.fsinsider.com serves as FSX Demo's primary download site?

OMG!!!! OMG!!!! I rushed over here when I saw the FSX demo is going to be available in 2 days at Gamespot! Now there's a subscription worth having, I've been a member forever! What a treat, I cannot wait, I literally lost my breath when I saw the sign.

>Shouldn't www.fsinsider.com serves as FSX Demo's primary>download site?Of course not, then noone is making money off of it :-roll

>>Shouldn't www.fsinsider.com serves as FSX Demo's primary>>download site?>>>Of course not, then noone is making money off of it :-roll -------------------------------------------------------------Another way to screw us over ... :D :D If MS really wants to make some money, they should just burn FSX Demo or FSX Beta to CD/DVD. Whoever wants it, just pay the process and shipping fees, off you go. And I will be one of the many suckers first in-line to pay for it. He..ha... :D :D }(

NOOOOOOO! Don't give them your money. It will be all over the internet don't worry! :)

>I would imagine it will be up on all of the major file sites>shortly after the 'exclusive' gamespot promotion. A day or so>at the most probably.The demo for the racing sim GTR2 was up on download.com even before Gamespot.

You guys know that when they say "Get it first" they just mean that the paid subscribers don't have to wait for a download slot to open up on the public servers, right?That's how it is for all of their files.
