Here in the UK Virgin Megastore website has FS9 going for £8.99 which
includes free postage. Don`t think it`s the deluxe edition but at that
price who cares with all those lovely global terrain updates/aircraft
available. Hope this makes somebody`s Christmas and all the best to
everyone anyway!

I saw it at EB games or JB Hi Fi (can't remember which) for AUD70
yesterday, so that was an excellent guess. I bought over a year ago for
AUD50 after a cash back Microsoft was running at the time. Only money
I've ever had come back from MS.

1. That's on the low side of current prices. (In the U.S., it retails
for between $18 and 20.)

2. Unlike FSX (and FS2002 and FS2000 before), FS9 wasn't divided into
deluxe and standard editions, so you're getting everything. The only
difference I know of is that FS9 originally came in a tin (which I
like). Later it came in a thin cardboard box (and cost less). At this
price, it's going to come in the box rather than the tin.

Here in Australia, FS9 was still $100 right up until the release of FSX. I'm
not sure what it is now, but I'd guess we're being ripped off at around $70
at least!

I think in the UK it only ever came in the standard plastic DVD-style
case. (As do most games these days.)
