I wasn't implying that I thought it would be soon - just that I know I won't pay attention to keeping up with the release gossip. Let me know when I need to buy this -- whether it's next week or next year.
I have read that they are considering using a "Dongle" (Small USB device) with the release for anti-piracy purposes. Seems like a good idea I guess. :\
Would be great if more of us get it, it's a little on the pricey side. ($125) That's about the cost of 2 or 3 games, or a piece of computer hardware. Maybe it's justifyable if it's a good game/sim?

the dongle thing has been kicked around for a while. they want some means to copy protect the game. don't blame them at $125 a copy, although they are not likely to sell that many...
Makes me wonder about Fighter Ops, too. They're going for a similar limited niche and pricing strategy.
Frankly, if it works flawlessly, I don't care about a USB dongle. I got a few empty ports and I can just leave it in.
It's this damnable new CD/DVD-based CP that keeps getting me!
