I will pay nothing, as there will be nothing to buy.

Which is why I stopped buying games when they first come out - too damn
expensive.  I don't need to get it before everyone else - I can wait a while.
The last few games I bought were $39.99 or less...most $29.99 or less.

Well, lets see.  I have spent about 1600.00 on my ECCI wheel, another 400.00
on Sim-***s combo controller and encoders, and probably 5000.00 over the
years on puter upgrades.
I think I would gladly pay 100.00 - 200.00 for the core product and
50.00-75.00 for add-on packs.  but now since the hair on my body has stop
standing on ends I just hope that we really do see this soon!  (Getting too
old for this crap!  I could have had a heart attack reading the news today

I got some good swamp land for sale in the states if you would throw away 5
bills on this game

lol, lol !!

Damn that was funny ! :)

At least you're not a judgmental ass. ;0)  Be honest and take a look at your
own life for a minute.  How do you spend your money?

You never spent $100 on dinner that lasted less than 24 hours in your
system?  Never spent $30 on a movie with a***poor plot and slimy popcorn?
Never bought a shirt for $40 that looked much better at the store and never
made it out of the closet?

Money doesn't make us happy but certainly can bring us enjoyment.  How can
you judge the price he places on enjoyment?

That sounds about right to me as well.

But as I see it, the success of this rests on the ability to produce
quality multiplayer racing. That aspect of the game will have to be
proven to me before I plunk down $1 for this.

Since it's been shown many times that the online racing enthusiast is
but a small fraction of the end purchaser of racing titles, I don't
see how this sim can be cost effective for the West's without charging
a huge amount for it. Placing a big price tag on it will only further
reduce the number of end users.

The rider on the question was "Assuming it lives up to the hype"

As per my other messages, I'm very doubtful, but assuming it lives up to the
hype, then $500 would mean nothing to me, compared to the enjoyment it would
bring. I used to be a rally driver and spent $30,000 or more of my own money
a year enjoying my sport. In comparison, this game would be a bargain.

Are the encoders direct replacements for pots or do you need to run them
through the Sim-***s controllers?  Until your post, I wasn't aware
than Sim-***s managed to ship a product, and they did that quite a
while ago.

HAH! Got'cha beat. Check out my most recent purchases:

GPL - $9 (MIB)
DTR - $9 (MIB)
DTR-SC $5 (MIB)
N3 - $3 (used)

Good point. I spent $150.00 CAD on WinXP and I don't even have it
installed anymore. I find having Win98 and Linux installed meets my
needs better than that XP bloatware and forced product activation
scheme.
