Specter1606688147 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Posted October 31, 2011 I saw it in best buy Madison tonight. Quality as always. This Sim may be quality but I always find BEST BUY far from the Best Buy.

ED Team Wags Posted November 1, 2011 ED Team Posted November 1, 2011 Thanks for the purchases. It was very difficult to get this niche product into US retail. We hope that good sales will show Best Buy made the right decision and they will sell similar products in the future.

Don't forget to market to Walmart and Game Stop, for those of us (like me) that don't prefer Best Buy prices.:music_whistling:

It sure looks like it should be but whoever put that page together should be shot. The price is good though and I have ordered from ProVantage (my MFDs IIRC) with no problems.

Phantom88 Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 I'm going to post screens and cockpit shots on other forums and spread the word its available at BB.Even if you are not into combat, DCS A-10C is an incredible realistic flight simulation. And I'll be picking up my DVD copy also:thumbup: Patrick
Specter1606688147 Posted November 1, 2011 Author Posted November 1, 2011 Seems that the Boxed set is still wanted, even by those that already bought the Direct Download. I too hope to have my Boxed set, in a week or 2 (bought through Amazon).
Mule Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 I was bored and thought wrongly that this would be a tedious thread. It has turned out to be very informative and funny. Thanks everyone. Fighter Pilot Podcast.
Phantom88 Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Just tried a BestBuy in Chicago,I could't even find the PC section it was so buried by console stuff.They didn't have it.But I made the guy write it down and said I'd call or be back tomorrow to check.:thumbup: Patrick

The PC section in all of our Walmarts are getting smaller and the Console sections are getting larger. In GameStop, PC games are limited to 1 side of a small 2 sided rack on the floor. PC games can not be rented here or returned unless for exchange for same title, not true for Console games. :( The retailers make it so hard for us to enjoy our interest, and if you find you don't like it, you're stuck with it :cry:. The harder it is to find PC games in stores is what makes certain websites more and more popular.
EtherealN Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Well Specter, a major impactor on the shrinking PC sections in game stores is the fact that a lot of people, myself included, haven't purchased hardcopy for quite a few years. (I think Supreme Commander was the last one for me, when it was released, meaning february 2007.) Consoles do not have the same option as well developed yet (though it certainly is coming), and has as a market been growing a lot faster than the PC market. "Certain" sites were popular before this phenomenon, it's just the excuses being used that has changed. And that's the extent of discussion that's worth having about such sites. It's all been done many times and always ends with threads derailed and people ranting until they're blue in the face. :P [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester
Specter1606688147 Posted November 2, 2011 Author Posted November 2, 2011 Well, I did not mind digital downloads for "try before you buy" demos but that was it. I saved a lot of money with demos. Too many good sounding lemons out there. :cry: But you are right in the direction it is heading.
Steel Jaw Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 The retailers make it so hard for us to enjoy our interest, and if you find you don't like it, you're stuck with it :cry:..u Precisely why I never buy any game/sim now that I have not "demmoed". In fact, DCS A10 and BS are the only one in years I have bought without a "demo".
