Thanks! I am glad to hear it is just a demo "glitch" or shortcoming.

Now for my next question - where can I buy the game for a fair price?

Don't get me wrong, I will pay for a legit copy, I just don't see why this game retails for $39.99 through the Starfury site link - yet I can buy Freelancer from MSFT for $19.99 and I bought X2 recently from Best Buy for $24.99!!!

I guess I'll have to join the eBay revolution...

Blech!

Thanks again!

Freelancer and other retail games get cheaper because they're publishers make a LOT of copies. If they don't sell, it becomes cheaper to the seller to discount them to get rid of them, since they cost money to store.

I don't think Shrapnel makes many games per print run, and they're cost per copy is probably higher. Hence, few or no price drops.
