Na. I think we will have FSX for quite awhile. MS decided to do their own
train sim so the flight sim folks headed over to help. So however that goes
then it's back to the new flight sim... probably a couple years. Good thing
FSX is top notch.

Don't know Fry's at all or how big they may be. I would surmise that in the
retail world they would consider FSX an old program (20 months old) and a
niche market and therefore not worthy of stocking anymore. It can however
still be had at Best Buy and Future Shop here in BC (in fact so can FS2004
and FS2002). Otherwise I would recommend Amazon.

Fry's is a geeks nirvana. When I fly into Las Vegas,
there's two things I head for: Fry's and In & Out.

Thank God I live in San Jose and can run over to Fry's any day I
want. You can truely get lost in a place like that, but lately they
are stocking a TON of cheap (in quality and price) products that are
meant to distract the not so in-the-know customers. It's filled with
rediculous impulse purchase items and has the worst customer service
you'll find on the planet. If you speak punjabi, you may in the right
place, however. And I'm not even kidding about that... >> Stay informed about: not one MS FSiM |

If I ever told my wife I was heading for Fry's, she would take away
the car keys and tell me I was too fat already : )

We have a number of them in the Los Angeles area. One of my favorites
is in Burbank (just south of KBUR). It has a giant flying saucer
crashed into the front of the building and inside aliens are attacking.

Being a resident of the UK I was curious to what this big store was.
On googling it, it looks very much like Amazon.com only with a boring
name!

Amazon.com has NOTHING like the entrance to this store:

It just gets better inside.

I guess as a retailer they just see it as an old game title so re-
stock isn't a priority.
Perhaps supply and demand hasn't required reacquisition of a few new
copies
