I'm certain Microsoft will release it for PC. And only PC.

It'll be another year of "Microsoft Train Simulator has encountered an error and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvience."

I perfer Trainz. It doesn't encounter errors and need to close.

Trainz has some errors that do NOT notify their users...

not so optimal physics and weird signalling...

And with a bit of bright fiddeling, MSTS1 is pretty stable. (At least we know when it is about to crash :-)

Unfortunately MSTS1 can't handle LOADS of good add ons that are available. You need to trick around (train store) to get it running properly. (no-one expected that MSTS would do THAT good)

It's be another year of exiting waiting.. but sure will be worth the wait!

Try Best Buy - they often have have it.

Maybe Microsoft could release it for X-Box 360 - it could look very sweet with a 360 and a widescreen HD TV. (Why not, Railroad Tycoon was released for the Playstation 1).
