Sorry if this is old news, but it is new to me.

I've found DCS: Black Shark in both EB Games and Harvey Norman in Brisbane. Doesn't seem to be in GameTraders yet.

Good for you guys. I hate it that it has taken so long. I want all Black Shark fans to get their hands on this great sim! smile


The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.

I went to havery norman as well to look for some things around the house and just had a look around the flight sim area to find a copy of Black Shark..... I saw it, bought it and getting to know it....... love it.

Have also seen it at EB and to my surprise Black Shark made a presence at JB Hi-Fi as well.

Saw my first Thrust master Cougar FCS in the flesh, but seeing Black Shark on the shelf took the cake.

Cheers,

JB was $10-20 cheaper than alternatives. Then again, it usually is.
It bothers me a little that EB stuck it on the very bottom shelf- why would you put the most popular games at eye-level, 10 at a time, and hide the ones less likely to sell? I don't get this, although there has to be some rationale behind it.

They want to move all the five thousand copies of CoD:WaW, but they know that we'll put up with looking for the two copies of Black Shark they ordered?

Thanks for the heads-up on JB, guys! I'll spread the good word ...

Over the hills and far away.
My boxed version of Black Shark here in Europe Belgium.
Just to see if the box is different in other places over the world.
(Sorry for the crappy picquality, pics were made with cellphone)





Best regards, Kodiak.

Picked mine up at lunchtime today from JB. Bit different packaging. Cardboard box like a traditional CD style game box and inside was the Quick Start Guide (a third of which is taken up with instruction on registering and de-registering the game LOL) and the DVD in a paper sleeve.

I'll post up some photos tonight. Looking forward to trying this out (I never thought this would make it to Oz!)

Here's my shot (also with camera phone)

Thats interesting the box in the JB here in Darwin has a different cover.

The one here has a weird double opening flip open cover.
