**hansolo2k** · 01-02-2002, 10:25 AM

i just bought a fs2002 pro UK version... i'm not too happy with it cuz the CDs r painted in only 2 colors... and the whole thing comes in a little box... and it is �69.99!!!
can someone with a US version confirm that ive got the same thing? if the US version is better, im gonna refund mine and buy another one online from the states...

Let me get this straight, you're concerned because the CD's aren't pretty and the box is small? Hmmmmm????? Well, if it makes you happy, my version (acquired in the US) has some pretty darn ugly CD's as well and the CD holder is cardboard. You know though, it doesn't bother me a bit as they stay in the cardboard (re. cheap) CD container all the time.

The presentation or lack of it has all the hallmarks of a rush job, Microsoft delayed the release of FS2002 following September 11th perhaps the original was in a fancy box and contained a printed manual. However, I like the small box, much easier to store.

Huh ... my cdrom drive(s) only just about manage to read my cr@p uk versions especially the .cab files - on several reinstalls scenery files have not installed correctly. piss poor quality

You mean to say that you are whining about paying �69.99 for this brilliant sim, when you paid over �250, (�170ish if you bought the upgrade), for an operating system that you don't need on a home PC?????

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Jan-03-02 AT 04:07PM (EDT)[/font][p]Well I'm certainly not complaining! I'm in the UK and bought the Pro version from BUY.COM for �50...And got it over a week before release date.

Then minus the �15 cash back means I paid �35 for a game I know I'll play for 2 years (when FS2004 comes out).

Drinks All Round! :-lol
