Who preordered 2010 wbe?

[Vern]

Slightly OT (again!) I never realised until yesterday how much German content was in TS2009, compared even to TRS2006. Hopefully this will all be in TS2010. Contrast that to the pitiful state of RW where, as Falcon says, if any content does emerge it's going to be at £12 a hit for a locomotive and few items of rolling stock. TS2009 (and again presumably 2010) has tons of different buildings even complete city blocks so you don't even need to go near the DLS for additional content if you don't want to.

As I say my only caveat is that having given Auran my £25.00 I would like to see this invested in further upgrades that bring the core up to Speedtree standard - my top five probably being: 1. Correctly drawn points i.e. frogs & flanges, 2. Built in curve control for splines, 3. Default tunnels can be laid at any angle, 4. A stab at autonomous AI/timetable operations and 5. Maybe a career mode to rival RS.com's proposed extension to RW.

. Railworks is even charging for extra sessions how lousy can you get?.

Rip off Britain, Falcon.

If Trainz was made by a UK based company. You can almost be certain the same over pricing would occur.

You may not always agree with Auran's release policies, but you do get value for money.

£18 for a quality route plus, high quality locos and rolling stock.

RailFail, £12 for one lousy loco , with incorrect specifications. Poor sound and physics.

IKB.

Just preordered myself a Christmas present.

 

[geoffwilliams]

Well, said I'd never pre-order again, but have. Need to get the discount for TS2020

Anyway, frustrations aside, Trainz must be the best value for money of any hobby.

Nice to see you back Vern.

Went to go place my pre-order today, and it is now approx $8 higher so I have decided to wait till it hits the retail stores for $46.38 plus $8 shipping for DVD Box Version.
If it does not hit a retailer shelf, then guess I will stick with TRS2006.

If it does not hit the shelves of a local retailer, I am passing on it unfortunately as I assumed the $39.99 price was still available today.
At that price, I will wait for views of others and issues to be announced (usually the norm) to then justify the higher price.

I assume that you have noticed Auran now show price in Australian dollars??? John.

 

[mcguirel]

Yep, thus the $46.38 US Dollar Price in post and was $39.99 US Dollars last week. My pre-order was going to be the DVD Box version plus shipping and not due out till December 1st, so thus why my pre-order was three weeks out, but not at the elevated price. I will wait to see what others experience and let them be guinea pigs due to the past experiences with TS2009 before dropping that kind of money on my fourth version purchase.

 

[john_goddard]

Yes, you are correct , they do seem to have raised the price, by 6.34 US$ by my conversion table. So either sales are going well, I would expect a reduction if they were not!, or they have made a mistake in their conversion to Aus $ ! John.

 

[nbrettoner]

It wasn't me!.
Was there only one copy?.
I wonder who the blighter was, then!??

Hope they catch him soon.
We don't want any wayward 2010's floating about.
They might bbreed!!~ :'(

:hehe:

 

[Johnk]

It has got up to AU$50.

Well I didn't pre-order it mainly because I never got a discount voucher which I think I was entitled to. I'm positive the AU$39.99 I paid for Trainz2009 was the pre-order price, and I certainly recall waiting several weeks for it to arrive, but maybe I'm wrong. I did ask Zec, but never received a reply.

I might sit 2010 out completely and let everyone else sort out the problems if any. At least I'll wait until SP2 is released

Who may I ask are you referencing as the Blighter? Having a hard time finding your comment to be revelant to the Pre-Order TS2010:EE Post.

 

[Johnk]

I think those little yellow round things are his marbles and he's just lost the lot of them!

 

[alpha11]

I think everyone that purchased 2009 should at least get it for $29.99 US, that is what I paid for 2009 download. Why the price increase?

 

[Sek_Hakuna]

I just pre-ordered this afternoon. Price was $49.99 AUD which is about $48 US currency. I don't mind, it's just ten bucks.

Looking forward to getting it up and running. Gonna be so cool!

I've just taken the plunge and pre-ordered the retail box. I consider myself "burned" by 2009, but I'm hopeful that 2010 will be an improvement, and I also want to support Auran - if they have no money we have no Trainz. I just hope they come up with the goods.

In the meantime I can continue building my Herefordshire route in TS2006.

 

[Paulsw2]

I've pre-ordered 2010. Points to note: (1) I'm relieved I didn't buy-in to TS2009, commiserations to those who did. (2) We've had 3 versions of this game in 16 months. I'm bewildered.

Paul (old fashioned in liking a new version of the game every 18 months or so)

Why "commiserations" ? We have had 12 months use of TS2009WBE, which works out at about £1.60 per month and I ,for one , do not regret buying. I have made great progress on a new route in native mode which I can continue in Ts2010. If no one had bought Ts2009 there would not be a Ts2010 and, probably, no Auran Trainz! John.
