For 40 bucks, FSX costs about that much does it not?

Of course, FSX to the max requires a heafty investment in other areas.

For flight sim of a different colour, there is Orbiter. Can have endless fun flying around the solar system, and that is free.

Civilization series always have a tendency to suck me into a gaming zone for hours and hours on end. In fact, I just started a new game in Civ IV, and how long ago was that thing released?

But after all that, OOTP is usually for me a good value. I can get an Xbox game and play it for 20 or so hours, and it takes 60 bucks out of my wallet. 40 bucks for OOTP, and I gurantee you I will play it for more than 20 hours. OOTP 12 I have not played that much I must admit, compared to the other years of OOTP. Various reasons behind this, but I still played it for more than 20 hours, and I just started playing my league again and still find it good fun.
No problem. My comment was aimed at some who may not like the price or the discount compared to other years. I'll have to check out FSX.
