I am thinking a release of Q2 in 2023 and a reasonable price of 39.99 because like others I can see the future of the development and business strategy from the folks of PMDG

I'd love to see that price but yeahhhh....no.

Highly doubt it, also the credit offered was $99 so I’d say something along the $120+ mark 

I hope sound packages will be better compared to ngxu version.

I was kind of kidding with my post. You have some folks here predicting Prices and release dates and a business plan with no affiliation with the developers so I just joined in the fun.

Do you know when that credit price was offered?… I’m wondering if they decided on that figure before they perhaps evaluated the potential for selling at mass with MSFS… Its no coincidence that literally every developer is selling their product at a cheaper price than there previous sims.

In other words, the NGXu for Prepar3D v4 is available right now for $99.99 USD. Buyers of the NGXu before 31DEC19 will receive a $99.99 USD rebate on their purchase of the NG3 once it is released. Randazzo further explained that the anticipated market price of the NG3 will be $139.99 USD.

Wonder if this increases the likelihood of the Fenix beating the 737 to market?

I have a feeling FENIX is in the same boat.  They were both going to have features video a month ago and they backed it off.  FENIX isn't in beta yet either.  I don't think we see either of these until well in to next year.  I think the sim is changing faster than the 3PDs can keep up right now.  I think the sim itself might need to level off first to allow them to catch up...so to speak.

That quote is from Nov 2019. Rob himself posted on the pmdg forums in October that they're going to rethink the pricing model and hinted at prices below $100.

User: " I know you said last year that the PMDG 737 for MSFS may cost $140 USD. It's good to see that you have rethought the pricing scheme one year later. If you could keep the price below $100 USD for the PMDG 737, that would be great. Of course, the lower the price is below $100 USD, the better."

RSRandazzo:  "John- I think you will be pleased with the re-think of pricing. The development of a product line for MSFS has given us a rare chance to re-think many established processes. More to come on that topic at a later date. - RSR"

Thanks for the link! Yup, this is Randazzo's response about the price.  I think there is a good chance the PMDG 737 will be below $100, based on Randazzo's response there. It would also be consistent with the DC-6 price in MSFS, which was lower in price than the DC-6 in P3D.

Yep, they priced the DC-6 lower than anyone expected - a good bit lower than the price of the P3D version. This should already give us a good indication of what they're aiming at pricewise.

I am guessing $89.99. And I will buy it at that price - assuming all the hype about PMDG is accurate.

I read that it wont have weather radar. If this is correct then how can it be worth more that £50 because it is actually unrealistic and unflyable?

Still flyable without a radar.

LoL they are far from being finished. PMDG will not release products until its finished may it be late 2022 or even 23
