With so many people excited about the release of FSX, how many of us don't have a DVD player with their outdated computer?

I know the feeling, I don't have a DVD player on mine either. But you can buy them cheap these days, if you pay $50 you're paying too much.

Beats the heck of having to have 13 to 15 CD's.

Just a thought... if your computer dosen't have a DVD player, then your computer may not powerful enough to run FSX anyway.

Yes. - Any Drive that has DVD will also run a CD.- But of coarse, not the other way around.(CD wont play DVD)

Then again, just because a computer does have a DVD player is no guarantee that the machine is powerful enough even to run FS9 ... my inlaws' are still using a PII 450 that came with a DVD player installed. (The thing must be getting close to ten years old and they've still never used the DVD player!)

Especially when they put em in a paper case that hardly lasts six months.

Remember when Flight Simulator fit on a single 5.25" (was it 360 kB?) floppy? Just think if FSX shipped in THAT format ...
