No problem, Bill ! There is not going to be another version of MSTS, not now, not in February 2004 and probably not this year either !Only MICROSOFT can tell when ! Anybody else saying otherwise, hoping to get some money with orders is a CROOK !O t t o

You put Flight-Sim 2! They're going to reply that that product has long gone!

-----You are reading my signature now, don't waste your time reading it!-----
Or probably, maybe you should waste your time reading it.
Eh, where did my signature go?
Oh, here it is, the one you are reading right now? Can't you see it? I know I know, it's probably too bright to see it.
Hey, look at my avatar, nice right? I drew it with my own hands holding the mouse in Paint, with the pencil tool(and the Filling tool!)!
It's a picture of me in Planet Stooopid, where everything is the same as what you call "Earth" except that we are called "aliens" in your planet.
Anyway, I warned you not waste time reading my signature! You have just wasted probably about 30 seconds reading it, where you could have spent the time doing better things, like maybe reading the next post below if there is one...

Hello Otto,Thank you for contacting EBgames.com. Actually the game will be
available after 2/1/2004. As of right now, this is the release date that
the manufacturer has given us. Feel free to contact us if you have any
other questions or concerns.If you require further assistance, we are available 7 days a week from 8
AM to Midnight EST.Sincerely,
Donald
EBgames.comPointed out to them that this Release Date issued by MICROSOFT / KUJU at E3 went out of the window after KUJU handed MSTS over to MICROSOFT. The rest is History ! Could they check with MICROSOFT and take MSTS off their Web Site because right now they are asking for money for a product which is not and will not be available for some considerable time !You may remember that there were some in the Computing Media here in the U.K. making the same mistake, I had to bring to their Editors attention ! O t t o

Too many vendors are run by "Toothpaste Salesmen" who's only concern is making a buck and they do not care how they do it. Thanks for your inquiries and squashing this ridiculous hoax that their web site has produced. Although I have never bought anything from EB Games, I doubt that I ever will. Bill Bill

Another response from EBGames: Hello Otto,Thank you for contacting EBgames.com. We are currently taking pre-orders
on this game. Pre-ordering a game reserves a copy for you. You are never
charged for a game until it has shipped out. If you require further assistance, we are available 7 days a week from 8
AM to Midnight EST.Have a great day!
Andre
EBgames.comThat's better, but will still leave them with scores of irate customers waiting for MSTS-2 !Another MICROSOFT trick to gauge the demand for MSTS-2 ? O t t o

I've learned not to pre-order anymore. I pre-ordered MSTS and it was scheduled to be released Jun 1 2001, and I found it at wal-mart on May 25th. So even if it is true, I still wouldnt pre order it.

The best railroad there ever was

DON'T pre-order MSTS2 from ANY store until Microsoft itself announces on their web site that they will be releasing MSTS2. We know that Kuju ran into financial problems and backed out of MSTS2 development after Microsoft announced MSTS2. Microsoft took MSTS2 off the list of upcoming games on their web site about two months ago. Microsoft may:1. Develop MSTS2 themselves
2. Hire another software publisher to develop MSTS2
3. Cancel MSTS2Jeffrey
