69.99 that's what I figured. Already downloading.  Lucky, I had today off for some strange reason.

Make sure ya'll disable the pop-up blockers or the product will not download.  Happy Flying Ya'll!!!!!

I hope they come up with a bundle package after the -900 release (or a discount). If they release the -900 for 35 USD the whole thing will have cost 210 USD.

Well, a nice surprise for today. Downloading now!

I expect they will price the -900 only a little lower than the -800, but, yea, a little over 200 dollars if you want every variant, which I think is 50 or 60 dollars more than in P3D. However, I am not sure how many people will purchase every variant, many will get only 1 or, like me, 2. I have no interest at all in the -600 and very little in the -900. So, for me the cost will be $140.00, less the $100 discount I got for the NGXu, that I used a lot in P3D before moving over. So, I am overall quite happy knowing I will get hundreds of hours of simulation out of my investment.

Purchased and downloading but the 700 and the 800 are the only variants i need so i'm tapped out after this. Until the heavies show up.

Is anyone noticing a lot of issues with GSX?  The aft most left side door is misaligned the stairs try to park up against the horizontal stab,  I can't get baggage conveyors to show no matter what I do the PMDG ones show up but.  Pushback is ratcheting the jet down into the ground to where you can look the tug driver in the face.  All the edits I'm trying to make aren't saving.  Very strange, off to look for an update.

Plane fly beautiful though.  I already noticed there are 7 repaints.

70 bucks oofda?  You can get the 600 for half that price - I'd just stick with the 600.  I own the 700 and am happy with that.

i don't understand why ppl buy all variants of the same plane, pmdg is not topdog anymore in the new msfs.  Fenix, Justflight, Simworks Studio, Thranda Xplane Devs(soon maybe in msfs), etc. etc. are all better and more study level features in their products. How many pmdg 737's do wee need to buy😅 1 is enough 4 me also.

Yeah I don’t mind the split models strategy. If you really want everything, yes, its more expensive, but I imagine that most people will be happy with one perhaps two variant. I’m happy with just the 700, so I essentially got it for “free” with the discount from the P3D version.

could be OCD, could be they like having options. either way, it's all pretend and for fun, not gonna judge how folks want to spend their money. I know i've wasted money on plenty of stupid stuff.

Yea it’s nice to have the option. You want a 737 cheap? Get the 600. If you want it all, spend the cash.
 

Fact remains that it was never possible to get a high quality plane for as low as the 600 in MSFS (in P3D/FSX, I know the Zibo exists for XPlane.). 

It’s really not a bad way to go about it.

I’m glad I had the NGXu credit. Bought the 700 on credit and the 800 for $30 off due to the remaining credit. For me this was a good investment.

Same! Hoping for 900 to be cheaper and hoping they'll get their stuff together with the EFB.

The B737-600 is the same plane as the B737-800?  I have wondered why Boeing makes several versions of the same plane too, not to mention why an airline would need to make a choice - why don't they all just buy the 600?

I better buy the B737-800 from Fenix or JustFlight - got a link?

Good point - I'll hold off a purchase until the 'Thranda Xplane (soon maybe in msfs)' release the B737-800 for MSFS.
