when I first heard of this I kept checking the store so I could get a copy.

Now that I can get it, I decided I wont because of the price...

50 bucks I'd pay, but 30 dollars shipping to canada? I don't think so...

That is about 106 dollars for an old game. And let's face it, the SCP is a much better version.

I like the SCP in every way except the piss poor fps im getting with the latest version. 10 fps when in open space, 2 fpm when a small cruiser comes into view.

But you didn't specify which amount was Canadian and which was U.S.  Without any other information, one would assume that the amounts are both Canadian or both American.  Either way there's a problem. :)

 
picky :P

So yeah, 50 US and 30 US = 106 CA :)

 
Help me keep my job people.. BUy it from schoolpop.com (if you live in the US) that way when they run out they will order more disks from us to burn... At least that will give me an hour or 2 of work to do. I've been sent home a lot lately for lack of work (happens this time of year for this company)
Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide target selection !

Hush yo' cryin' and go get it.
I ordered it within a few minutes of it coming up on the Interplay store.   As one of many FS fans, I think it's a worthwhile investment.  If all 2000 copies went quickly they might be more open-minded to possibilities best not mentioned in this forum....

Okay, so no bonus goodies, but seeing as what it's gone for used on Ebay, I think it's a worthwhile investment.  Plus my originals are trashed and I never got the Sim Of The Year edition.

Plus, it's a numbered release.  And I got a very very very low one :D

It is there. I really don't see why you lot have such difficulty finding it. I assume you actually know how to work the interweb?

Slight problem - they won't ship it to Europe or the UK (at least, that's what they told me when I emailed 'em). Anybody know about a place that might? Given that I never actually bought the game, I'm not worried about paying for it - I've got enough out of it to easily warrant the (slightly extortionate) price.
Any fool can pull a trigger...

invalid logical evaluation on your part. located AND bought it.
