TomG628 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Hi, I'm planning on buying FS 2020 Premium Deluxe version by Christmas but when I did a search for places to buy I keep getting the message that it is out of stock or unavailable including from Amazon. Any Ideas? Also, does it come in disk format or is it only download? Thanks. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Unless you are in Europe or Australia, maybe one or two other places, it is only available online. The options are direct from Microsoft through the Microsoft Store or through Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g7rta Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Even Amazon (UK) are now showing it available as a download. I wouldn’t buy it from them though as you might as well get it from the Microsoft Store. Depending on your internet connection.. you could be flying in two or three hours :) If you did succeed in getting hold of the (10 disc) version, then I understand you would still have to download a big chunk of it. Certainly all the updates.. plus you have to keep disc 1 in your drive whenever you use it..although there is a way around this apparently.

cianpars Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I got mine from CDKeys. It was a little cheaper than directly from Microsoft. I did look at another provider who looked cheaper but their prices were quoted ex VAT.

I presume you’re happy with the purchase and the sim is still working .. but most people do not recommend buying from CD Keys and similar places. Apparently these sort of companies are known for buying licences at a cheaper price from countries that have poor economies. The sim is cheaper in these countries for obvious reasons, but CD Keys cash in on this by reselling to the rest of us at a discounted price. Also many question the legitimacy & ethics of such companies and even say you can’t guarantee it’ll continue the sim will continue working after a year or two.

crowdriver Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Of course the download version is available on Steam. It takes a good internet service to run MSFS online, such as at Steam. Steam is a great place in my opinion to buy MSFS. I would use Paypal instead of a credit card on Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
