June 22, 20205 yr It's being advertised on a major Australian retailer as well now, and I'm (pretty) sure it wasn't there yesterday. This is from The Gamesmen. So, it seems that something has changed, and retailers have now been given a price at which to advertise. In Australia, AUD$100 is a standard new-release price, and you can see that it is being offered at 12% off. One retailer could be an error, but when multiple retailers start advertising on the same day it gives me confidence that we're seeing genuine data here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Microsoft Flight Simulator for Xbox One ITEM CODE: 162338 Buy NEW$88.00 Regular Price: $99.95 You Save: $11.95 (12%) Pre-Order, Due TBA 2020 (Last checked 1 second ago) Oz Sim Rig: MSI RTX3090 Suprim, an old, partly-melted Intel 9900K @ 5GHz+, Honeycomb Alpha, Thrustmaster TPR Rudder, Warthog HOTAS, Reverb G2, Prosim 737 cockpit.

June 22, 20205 yr Similar to the OP post. Apparently available for purchase: https://www.gamesmen.com.au/microsoft-flight-simulator Looks like I'll need to buy an XBox X console. (I'm serious about that since I'm tired of building overpriced gaming PC's) 🙂 Cheers bs Edited June 22, 20205 yr by bean_sprout AMD RYZEN 9 5900X 12 CORE CPU - ZOTAC RTX 3060Ti GPU - NZXT H510i ELITE CASE - EVO M.2 970 500GB DRIVE - 32GB XTREEM 4000 MEM - XPG GOLD 80+ 650 WATT PS - NZXT 280 HYBRID COOLER
June 22, 20205 yr This makes no sense. e.g; nonsense. One Ozzy retailer sets a fictitious price - picked out of the air as a reasonable estimate - and the competition follows suit with prices. False storm in a tea cup - or a "tinny" as our cousins down under would say.

It could just be retailers trying to drive traffic to their sites rather than them having actual information about the title yet. Many sites will put up placeholders so they show up in Google search results.
June 22, 20205 yr Lets give it a few days and see if MS 'spanks' these sites. Cheers bs AMD RYZEN 9 5900X 12 CORE CPU - ZOTAC RTX 3060Ti GPU - NZXT H510i ELITE CASE - EVO M.2 970 500GB DRIVE - 32GB XTREEM 4000 MEM - XPG GOLD 80+ 650 WATT PS - NZXT 280 HYBRID COOLER

It has been said, many times, that the Xbox version will be released after the PC version.. Also interesting that that package size is advertised. So, get in NOW.. beat the rush..

June 24, 20205 yr The noted sites are still up so I'm assuming they are valid. I made the purchase and am awaiting the official release.

June 24, 20205 yr Why not? If the actual price turns out to be $150 US then I save $50. The early bird gets the worm.

June 24, 20205 yr Early bird? Not sure if the console version has even entered Alpha. Robin "Onward & Upward" ... To the Stars, & Beyond...

It looks to be a kick-butt system. PC gaming machines are dead (and way overpriced) IMO.

Maybe this time it’ll be different. ...here, I’ll hold my breath 😉😁 Chris
