I can hardly wait. Hope they send out the preorders right away. I'll be
sorta pissed if its available at EB for 2 weeks before I get my copy
mailed to me. :(

This game is gonna truly rock!

I, for the life of me, cant figure out one thing tho, why does the game
only cost $30? This is the only game I can think of that will come on
the game market $10 less than all other games. Strange. Do they think
people wont pay the usual $45 dollars cause of poor value?  This seems
like a very high quality game like any other decent recently released
game. Any insight on this low price thing would be appreciated.

It is a bit strange, though I'm not complaining! :-)  It might be because
it's the companies first effort, and they want more people to try it out.
Actually, the full price of most games I've seen is closer to $50...
Half-Life at my local Software Etc. is going to be selling for $45, but
they have Shogo there, and thats almost $60!!!  I really dont know what
determines prices... GPL was $50 at the same store, but I got it from
EBWorld for $35 (including shipping).

This is true. And it has the best usage of ForceFeedback of all the sims
I tried!

Why $30???
Two guesses: The six people at MGI worked for beer and peanuts.  Or else, it
may be that only one licensing fee is a helluva lot cheaper than dozens, as
in other games.
