Sorry about that Chris, I went back and looked and they are also selling the FSX Standard Flight Sim for $17.99 also, what gives? As far as driving to get it I will drive about 100 miles roundtrip to Tallahasee,Fl to pick it up, not because I need to but it gives me a chance to get out for a few hours. I may pick up a couple at that price...Blue Skies!Oh, I forgot to mention I really do not want to wait until Chrsitmas to get FSX SP2, it comes with Expansion pack now.

We'll see how anxious I am Tuesday. I may swing by there, I only wish there was a CC here in Nampa. We have every other store under the sun, just not the one with the awesome deal. lol

I was just thinking even with the 2 day mailing charge at that price you will still be under the $29.99 most others are charging, and plus you save the gas and the drive LOL

Circuit City seems to always undercut the competition with FS releases!When FSX came out last year, I picked up the Deluxe version for somewhere around $30 or $40, when every one else was selling the FSX Deluxe for $69.Thanks for the heads up!Pete S.

>>I thought Americans thought nothing of driving 300 miles just>to get some milk. :-lol There are remote places where you almost have to drive that far. :)I know people in Kansas have to drive sometmes 30-40 miles to get to a store. When I was in Germany I could walk anywhere I needed to locally. Not so in America, distances are too great.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2585 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2gb Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8 (1T), WD 150 gig 10000rpm Raptor, WD 250gig 7200rpm SATA2, Seagate 120gb 5400 rpm external HD, CoolerMaster Praetorian

We used to before gas prices started going up x( Of course, it's all relative. I paid $2.45/gal yesterday in Southern New Jersey and I see it's $3.15 or so in Los Angeles.Oh well, Circuit City is right up the street and on the way home from work Tuesday, I'll check it out. Hope they have it. Regards,Jim Karn

I drive a sonata so gas mileage is good, just don't enjoy the traffic in Boise. But 13 bucks saved might be worth the trip.

I read recently that the average cost per mile to operate a car based on current gas prices is 42 cents. If that's true, the cost to drive 15 miles up there and 15 miles back would be $12.60.We may all have to re-think our driving habits if that is good information.Dewey

Joey, I have been trying to figure out the same thing and I have a theory and I might as well put it out now. Based on past prices, most of Microsoft products are pretty much sold in the same price range. Maybe they have given CC the ok to sell at this price to set a price as to what people will pay, in other words: Do you sell more at CC for 17.99 or more at BB for 29.99? That is my guess. Also it seems odd that they have FSX also at $17.99,,,Just thinking out loud!
