October 5, 200619 yr Thunder Bay, Ontario Future Shop. Got the deluxe version early this afternoon. Checked in the morning, they advised the truck was expected in mid-morning, to try back in the afternoon. Sure enough, salesperson advised they weren't sure if it was supposed to be held until later in the month, but the display said October 5th, when I picked it up.John Haley
October 6, 200619 yr Well, the EB Games in Ottawa all have the Standard Edition, BB and FS are still waiting for their shipment. If it was in London, Ontario, early this morning, and Toronto this evening, chances are Ottawa stores will have it (Deluxe Edition) by tomorrow afternoon.

October 6, 200619 yr Author Toured my local Best Buy, Future Shop, and EB Games in Winnipeg early this afternoon (or might have been late morning), nada.Went again 5-6pm to Best Buy, and there was the stock guy with a whole bunch of FSX copies on the cart, rearranging other games to make room for the new stuff. Don't think I was the first to do it, but I got it directly from the cart, before a single copy ever made it onto the shelf... :DToo bad, by the time I get enough stuff burned onto dvd's to make enough room for it, probably won't have time to try it out tonight.... :( Declared weather: FSX: ASN / FS9: ASE
October 6, 200619 yr Bestbuy has the Deluxe at $79 with $10 gift card, FutureShop price matched to $69.I have a feeling its going to cost a lot more over the next few months to get this thing running a decent speeds ...

October 6, 200619 yr YES!!! FSX HAS ARRIVED IN OTTAWA! Only a few more hours, until I get off work 'till I'll get my greasy little hands on a shiny new copy of FSX Deluxe. I'm so happy.

When I tried 2 gigs of ram I got error messages and CTD's in FS9, so I had to go back to 1 gig. I'am running a 6800GT and everyhing is set to default in FSX, but good for you that it's running well.Cheers from CYVR, \Robert Hamlich/

Ended up with OCZ ram...no troubles whatsoever. >Cheers from CYVR,Cheers from the turn into the CYVR Localizers....North Delta. :-)FaxCap
October 7, 200619 yr >Cheers from the turn into the CYVR Localizers....North Delta. :-)I'm just east of you--at the beginnings of Cloverdale, on the way to CYNJ. I wonder how many of us are here in the Fraser Valley? It might be fun to try to meet.... Joel Murray @ CYVR (actually, somewhere about halfway between CYNJ and CZBB)
