budreiser Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Maybe this has been bounced around already, but, if so, I missed it. Does MS intend to offer the CD version here in the states, and when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven214 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I'd say it is unlikely. As I understand it, Aerosoft pushed for the deal in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W2DR Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I agree. The chance for a CD version in the USA is somewhere between never and none. Intel 10700K @ 5.0 Ghz, Asus Maxumus XII Hero MB, Noctua NH-U12A Cooler, Corsair Vengence Pro 32GB 3200Mhz, Geforce RTX 2060 Super GPU, Cooler Master HAF 932 Tower, Thermaltake 1000W Toughpower PSU, Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit, and other good stuff.

iainso Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 ebay.co.uk is your friend here, interestingly the disc version is currently sold out on amazon.co.uk and selling for about 30% above retail price on ebay! I'm sure they will do another print-run soon though, and you could order from amazon.co.uk to deliver to a freight forwarding service (they won't ship it outside europe). Be warned though, the disc version requires the disc be inserted in the drive while playing and also is key locked (so you can't resell it).

JLandry0 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 You can buy the 10 CD Version on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g7rta Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 “the disc version requires the disc be inserted in the drive while playing†Apparently not anymore. Someone on this forum (I forget who, sorry) figured out a workaround. I think it means creating an iso file of the disc and keeping it on your hard drive somewhere.

Kapitan Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 My computer hasnt got a DVD drive and my previous system back in 2017 didnt have one either. Discs are proun to scratching and while I still have some old discs with movies from 2006 that work, I made backup of all my stuff in discs to a one tera USB pendrive. Much smaller, all in one place. I didnt know DVD bays are still included in new systems. I dont think they are, if your system has a DVD bay either is too old or you build it and forcely included one. That is why companies dont do disc releases anymore Kapitan Anything I say is...not as serious as you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
