cause here in America you can find it at a pretty good price at like BestBuy, Wal-Mart, Target, and all different places . I got mine for $24 at bestbuy when it was on sell like a month after it was released

I have used FlightGear before I got x-plane, and I still use it sometimes, its really good now, the lastest cvs version has some bits with photo scenery, has forest fires, and a lot of other great stuff, if you stick around on their forums, you'll see a good few things going on "behind the scenes" in development.

There is a pirated version from mainland China. I hate pirated products.

So FSX is R18 in HK? WTF!

Post by: CHR on June 07, 2008, 02:49:05 am: I don't think he means that he is not allowed by law to buy FSX, but his parents will not allow him to buy it, because he is under 18, they can tell him what to do.

Post by: Virgin Serbia on June 07, 2008, 06:52:12 am: Surely you can make some money yourself, and buy it?

But then again, my monthly pay (as a 16 year old, working 40 mins a day, 6 times a week) is probably higher than many full time labourer´s in China...

Post by: 1.21.6 on July 02, 2008, 03:22:13 pm: I really do not think it is a wise idea to get games and VCDs from 298 since 99.999% of them are pirated and rubbish.

Even for those in ç£ä»”é›»è…¦åŸŽ (Wanchai Computer City rather if you like me to call that) could be pirated, not a good idea to get it in Wanchai. Instead...

Proborably in Shenzhen...where a typical person only gets paid RMB$2500-3000 [437USD]/month (i think)
However, the food and almost everything else there is really really cheap...I mean RMB$10 (US$1.4) for a big portion of noodles - enough to make you full at least

*sorry for getting off topic*

Post by: AustraliaConnect on July 03, 2008, 06:32:01 am: Dont talk about my HUB like that :P
Actually, I was In Shenzhen last year, that is Why I chose it.

I would suggest if you live in Hong Kong to go to the Festival Walk in Kowloon Tong.
Lots of shops there like over 200 and a cinema if you get bored :wink: :P

Post by: gizgiz on July 04, 2008, 10:06:56 pm: If you're in school, take your school ID card. If not, then no worries, just no big discount ;)

WINDSOR HOUSE (Causeway Exit E)

11th floor (or 10, can't remember exactly), get out of the lift, turn right, head to the end of the hall, turn left again, you'll see a "huge" (HK huge) game/software store.

$400 for Deluxe if you're lucky. That's what I got it for with my school ID. Guy gives discounts depending on school.
I believe it's upwards of $600 without discount.

If it's above 700 I'd really shoot for Sham Shui Po...

^^ Those are prices for real software btw. And note that prices are sure to have dropped as I got mine in Dec.
