October 11, 20241 yr Amazon has the steel box premium deluxe edition for the same price as the MS store's regular digital download, from the xbox store. If you like collecting software boxes (what can I say, I still have the Orange Box 😉 ), it's a good deal.  Also noticed that the MS preorder page is kinda funny, because the limited aviator edition that comes with the AN225 diecast model shows an AN124 model in the box. 😉   Ryzen 7 7800X3D/B650 X AX | 5090 | 32gig | Win10 | Pimax Crystal Light

October 11, 20241 yr Always nice to have a box, once my MSFS 2020 is deleted I’ll have no reminder of it , at least having a box it’s something to remember it with. I’ve got loads of old simulator boxes stored for memories. BTW the 5000 piece limited edition collectors edition has now sold out already. 787 captain.  Previously 24 years on 747-400.Technical advisor on PMDG 747 legacy versions QOTS 1 , FS9 and Aerowinx PS1.Â

October 11, 20241 yr Well, I was wondering if this had DVD's in it or something but apparently it's just'a box and a lanyard with your game activation code on it. Yawn. We are all connected.....

The collector’s edition is no longer available on the aerosoft site so must have sold out already, I bet there’ll be one or two unopened ones pop up on eBay though once they’re released. 787 captain.  Previously 24 years on 747-400.Technical advisor on PMDG 747 legacy versions QOTS 1 , FS9 and Aerowinx PS1.Â

The God thing is just how i talk a figure of speech lol it does have do with them they develop the software and give whoever permission to publish it but unfortunately since fs2024 will mostly be streaming it kind of sucks not have most of the base data on the dvds heck even a usb I buy physical games for the ps5 or Nintendo switch all the time.  Cesar Martinez AMD 7800X3D  RTX5080 NZXT N7 B650E | G.Skill 32GB DDR5  Samsung 980 Pro 2TB | Crucial MX500 (2×) | Crucial P3 Plus  Monitor: Philips Evnia 34M2C6500 QD-OLED

From what I've read, the DVD's for MSFS2020 were quite useless after the first few SU's since most of their contents were obsolete by then. Releasing software on physical media is only practical if it is feature complete and more or less free of bugs, an impossibility these days.
