Pre order : advantage over buying at release date ?

Featured Replies

Since there is no special incentive, like additional aircraft or a reduced price, to pre-order, and considering I still need to build a Windows 10 computer for it, I will not be pre-ordering.

My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.

Or could be based on the customer's local time zone to help distribute the load on servers. 

I suggested that in my post previous to the one you quoted.

 I suggest you set the time on your PC to 11:00pm Aug 17 and see if you can start the download now! 😁

I'll do that, but only if MSFS now includes a Tardis so I can time travel back after installing! And it had better be payware quality!😄

Bill, Welcome to the Social Media Age.

At 71 I've long been in the Social Media Age. Should I announce to everyone how my last colonoscopy exam went? 😌

I went into my proctologist's office for an exam. His new nurse, Evelyn, took me to an examining room and told me to get undressed and have a seat until the doctor could see me. She said that he would only be a few minutes.

After putting on the gown that she gave me I sat down. While waiting I observed that there were three items on a stand next to the exam table: a Tube of K-Y jelly, a rubber glove and a beer.

When the doctor finally came in I said, "Look Doc, I'm a little confused. This is my first exam. I know what the K-Y is for and I know what the glove is for, but can you tell me what the BEER is for?

At that Doctor Paul became noticeably outraged and stormed over to the door. He flung the door open and yelled to his nurse........


Darn it Evelyn!!!!!!!!!!! I said a BUTT LIGHT"

You are most welcome. 

I would rather have a colonoscopy than read twitter comments

With a colonoscopy there's only a CHANCE you'll find cancer.

Thank the Good Lord for Cologuard. Saved my life.

Double whammy Fr. Bill forgive my dark humour. I almost spat my Lamb's rum over my screen! :biggrin:
