Lock On: Stupid Pricing

[Flying Officer Jevans]

I was in a computer store today, looking for a new monitor, when I spotted Lock On on a stand for £9.99(About $20, I guess). I thought this was quite cheap.

When I happened to walk round the other side of the stand, I saw all the 'bargain' games. And there was Lock On, in a slightly different case, for half the price!

What is the normal price, and would you recommend Lock On, because I don't have any experience with military sims.

Have`nt played this in a while owing to the disk going awol, but from what i remember of it, it`s probably one of the better military flight sims but with a steep learning curve.

I bought this game for £4.99 in PC world. Its a very good combat sim.I 'd recommend it-especially as it only costs a few pounds!

I too got mine for £4.99 from PC World a couple of years ago. Good game but really needs a Tonka or maybe a typhoon

nothing stupid. 2 distributors charging different prices. It happens.
Same thing as your supermarket's house brand being cheaper than the A brand which sells exactly the same product in a can with a different label (except there it's slightly less obvious).
