It is nice that we now have another pre-order date for SSE, hopefully this is the correct one, but I notice one glaring omission - THE PRICE!!!! Surely VSTEP know what the price is now and there is no real reason why it wasn't included in the announcement. So can someone please post it!!!
Metman
-
the price could be around 30euros..
Patience is now something that will be required for the pre-order.
Kind Regards
-
Yep there's not long to wait now until the pre-order date, so lets all be patient :)
-
The price of ShipSim Extreme is not official, but I have managed to get hold of them:
£ 19,90, about € 30...

Yes, and I hope that the new pre-order date is the right date...
/Markus

i do not believe that SSE will be that cheap. if it really is, i will maybe cancel my preorder in an online store and buy it online on shipsim.com! 8-)
pro: cheaper, bonus vessel
con: no physical medium
-
Markus, may I ask where you found that price?
-
Markus, may I ask where you found that price?
Yes, you can ask, but I can't answer. It's secret....

Can't see it being that expensive myself...SS08 wasn't too pricey if I remember rightly.

No, SS06 costs € 9,99, SS08 costs € 16,99 and SS10 Extremes costs about € 30....

(And I have the name of the ships and enoverments too, Capt. Spencer)
-
Well It doesn't bother me whether people know more information than me anyway, as it will be more of a surprise when I receive the game :)
-
No, SS06 costs € 9,99, SS08 costs € 16,99 and SS10 Extremes costs about € 30....
That's the price now. SS08 was €36 during the release, if i remember well the price of SS06 was similar.
-
I think 30-35 Euros/ Pounds is a fair price, considering what you're getting. :)
-
...But as I have already stated in post #1 on this subject, why didn't VSTEP state the price in the pre-release info, it's hardly a commercial secret at this late stage surely?? If it is because they are still haggling over the price then the 9th August pre-order date looks a bit shaky!!
If it is around 30-35 euros then I would definitely say that was a good price as I think when SS08 launched in the UK it was nearer 40 euros!!

Just wait till the 9th, then the price will be known too. :thumbs:
-
The oceandream is happy that SSE will pre-ordered august 9 :thumbs:
-
2 hours and then i gonna pre order it ;D
-
I will be mad if they release it tommorow EVENING ::)
-
Release what? ::)
the Release is on the 27th! :thumbs:
And pre orders will start on business hours, I reckon. Not midnight. It's a game release, not magicfairyland where the pumpkin turns into an ugly moderator at midnight... ::)

pre orders should be at midnight because it said on Monday, August 9th. so it makes sense for it to be exactly then but i can also see why it start on business hours :'(

You do realise that, if this system is not pre programmed and automatic, then no one will be in the office till 8 or 9am tomorrow morning? ::)
And you also do realise, that it won't make the game get to you any sooner if you're ordering at 0:01 or at 23:59 on monday, right? ::)
And that there is more than a ten minute window to order.. :thumbs:
;D

yes but i'm very hopeful about this system being automatic and pre ordering it right then just makes you feel that bit closer to having it. it gives me satisfaction ;D

I am still aiming to be the first to preorder the game...

Hehe... well good luck to you mate.
I hope you succeed! ;D

I just keep refreshing the site too see what happens past august 9 :doh:

Hmm, Dad won't be too happy me waking him up at midnight with his credit card ready :doh:

i already got the card ready :P

VSTEP should say that the first person to order SSE gets it free! :doh: :2thumbs:

Actually this all seems very familiar...
Like a certain film...

no rules dash for the cash. haha
-
To hell with that, 7/8am!?
I'll choose the extra hour in bed ;D
-
25 minutes.....
-
The Suspense...
-
But yeah there's no way it's gonna be midnight!
Because they said the 9th August. (Business hours, same time Europe and UK)
As opposed to something silly like August 9th at 00:01 (UK) and August 9th at 01:01 (Europe) or August 9th at 00:01 (Europe) and August 8th at 23:01 (UK)
Very confusing :doh:

5 minutes

deltaecho, I bet you any amount of money the Pre-Order won't be on in 4 minutes time. I doubt any VSTEP employee would be willing to go onto the site at midnight and put it on, I should think it will be on in the morning when everyone is at work :P

Okay, all in good fun, but please don't multi-post about such a silly thing. ::)
This was a semi-serious topic. Not everything is the Cookie Box.

I don't even think the actual game will be released at 00:01 on 27/08/10...

sorry fred. i got caught up in the moment
-
I don't even know why TFM is counting :doh: He's an hour behind! lol
If it works for us then it will work for him.
Which means VSTEP lied when they said it was August 9th. Infact August 8th at 23:00 !:) :doh:
-
Aaaaannnnd...... Nothing.
:doh: Told you! Happy new year anyway!
-
Well look at that. 00:00 and no pre-orders. I am disgusted. I stayed up all night and for what. I will never buy a VSTEP product again. I don't know how they dare lie to us. Appaling.
:doh: :doh: :doh:
-
So sick of this.. I think I'll go play SSE for a bit to make up for this dissapointment.. :evil:
-
well folks, it was hit or miss...... :-\
-
i think i'll wait another hour. just in case ;)
-
Theres still a glimmer of hope, I have had reports that my secret agent outside VSTEP HQ has seen a light go on in the office building and the coffee machine start up :o :evil:
-
you can always count on matt to brighten things up :2thumbs:

Cleaner?
-
Thats even worse :o A cleaner free loading on VSTEPS coffee! Maybe I can phone him up someway to get him to push the magical button to start pre orders! :2thumbs:
Shall we continue on the cookie box? Good idea I think :thumbs:
-
Cleaner?
:lol:
-
It has been Frank. He was engrossed in SSE that he forgot that the office closed on friday at 5pm :doh:
-
I found the price of SSEX on the internet - SimWare has the answer. :doh:

-
well they are partners with VSTEP and i guess that means its 40 euros now.
-
thats a cheap price for a good game
-
personally i would be willing to pay $80 for it.
-
Shhh! Don't say that! preorders havent started yet, they could still put the price up! :doh:
-
i never thaut about tht :P :doh:
-
well matt, thats a risk i'm willing to take 8)

*Hmmm yes indeed fellow Ship Sim fans, I would be very happy to pay 10€* ;)
^^ They might put it down aswell!

well im gunna call it a night and forfeit the amazing race for the pre orders. good luck matt
-
Not that I will suceed ::) But thanks :thumbs:
-
Lets hope that it comes in 9 min
-
I still doubt it, it's already the 9th in Asia and nothing.
Europe GMT+1...Nothing.
UK....Unlikely :doh:
-
i think that it comes in the morning
-
And thats it folks! Im off now. I'll leave my free leprechaun I got from a cereal box watching over things for me until I get back. Night all!

Nothing yet!

I know... but I have waiting for MOUTH to pre-order SSE. VSTEP don't keep the fans happy :'( >:(
-
The office open at 9 AM i think so i think they are working with it and they try to get us all happy ;) :2thumbs:
if your have waited for mounts then hours are not that difficult to wait, it will come during the day, if you have a played for newsletters i think you get a mail about pre-ordering soon
-
ITTTSS HERE!!!!
go, go, go!!!!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I will be the first person to actually post the price :doh:
REGULAR EDITION: €39.99
DONATION EDITION: €41:99
-
Hmm 39 Euros = ~£35
but Amazon = £24.99 = £10 cheaper
I cannot see how the fishing boat is worth £10... :-\

No, but the updates...
What updates? The game fro Amazon will be exactly the same...
and I can live without the fishing boat...
so...
order from Amazon, I have...
*even with First Class shipping, (£1.99), still a LOT cheaper...

Well, the reason why sites such as Amazon, Play, etc is able to sell SSE for cheaper because they have less overhead costs compared to high street shops, and don't have to pay VAT on the goods - many games and DVDs etc come from their Channel Islands base on Jersery/Gurnsey. A bit sneaky, eh? ;)
-
Well I just looked at Amazon.com and there's no price listed..
so maybe they took their 'wild guess' off of it now. Unlike the April release date they still list.. ::)
-
I personally think £33 is very reasonable :)
-
It is on the .co.uk version - and the £24.99 is price guranateed

-
Weird orginisation.. they can't even post uniform information on their on websites.. hehe
Well, I don't take any guarantees from them, I have been dissapointed by them before. ;D
Not that I'd buy the game there anyway.

I thought that..but oh well...As they say. "You get what you pay for"!! :2thumbs:
-
I have just pre ordered through VSTEP (boxed) :thumbs: And got the fishing vessel too!
But with Amazon it doesn't give the option of donation edition :-\
-
I decided to go for Download since at least i'm not sat waiting for a box...and hardly having any time to play it :lol:
-
I have just pre-ordered the boxed version of SSE via Vstep, even though I knew it's cheaper on Amazon.
Then there's the fishing vessel and 6 bonus missions which is not available anywhere else (Vstep will probably put them on the Shipyard at a later date, at an extra cost)
I want to show my support for Vstep by spending my money directly to them. :thumbs:
-
Donation Edition (Download) preordered :)
Amazon rarely has the same items for the same price on their various sites. When I lived in Germany it was almost always cheaper to buy movies and games from .co.uk than .de, even though german Amazon offered free shipping.
-
For those who haven't yet seen you can preorder here:
(http://i38.tinypic.com/xmud85.jpg) (http://www.shipsim.com/products/shipsimulatorextremes)
And please discuss what edition you have bought here:

You might want to re-think that if you can't join the DC server because it requires the Sigita :evil:

I will wait until the price gets lower, Its to expensive for me :thumbdown:
-
€40,- :P
I think I'll just be waiting until it's around €25,- or something :-\
-
Yeah, Same ;) I wont buy it at the Norwegian Game stores. I can promise you its expensive there...
-
I just pre-ordered from the main site, but there isn't an option to buy download/boxed?
-
€40,- :P
I think I'll just be waiting until it's around €25,- or something :-\
You might have to wait 2 or 3 years for that price to drop. :( That's how long it took SS2008 to drop from £30 when it was first released to around £10 now. It's not worth waiting that long, IMHO.
Why not ask for SSE as a birthday or christmas present? :thumbs:
-

I assume the top one is download, then there is another small box underneath saying "Boxed" :)
-
Hi Nathan,
There's two pre-order buttons per version. Top one is Download, bottom one is Boxed. :thumbs:
Grrr SA! ;D
-
Ah good, I think I clicked the top one! At least I hope I did :doh:
-

My birthday's at the 17 October, So I will ask for it ;)

Then you say..
"Can I have an EARLY Birthday Present?"
;D :lol:
-
Lol xD Im sorry guys... Too expensive :o
-
I just discovered.. I have 2.8 Ghz .. Intel i7 and the SSE requires 3.0 Ghz .. :/
-
:doh:
Well.. Take a paperroute.. or wash some cars.. or go do grocery shopping for your mother/grandmother/aunty/elderly neighbour...
The possibilities are endless if you really want to do something about it.. and you only need a little bit of money, since you probably already would have figured it would be at least 30 Euro's anyway.. So I bet you have that saved up, or you wouldn't have made a fuss about the pre-order date..
So make 10 euro's by doing some chores.. All the racket that's been made about the pre-orders.. you'd think that some of you that now comment it is too expensive, would spend a similar ammount of time that they spend on whining about when the pre-order would start, on washing people's cars, so they can earn enough to actually by it.
::) ;D
p.s. 3.0ghz is for single core processors. pentium 4! i7 core is much faster that those single core 3.0Ghz ones.
-
Well.. I discovered it on a norwegian game site. And its a LITTLE bit cheaper. I have some cash on my bank card so I only miss a little bit. I think I will manage to pre order the boxed version
-
:2thumbs:
-
Just paid my pre-order. Can't Wait to get it.
-
I think the price is quite fair for what we are getting. And I ordered mine from Vstep to show my support to the company for this intresting sim despite the fact I could get it cheaper from amazon. :captain:
-
Well, I bit the bullet and made my pre-order....a little different matter for us old Geezers who live on a fixed income, so I'm in the pool now too. Gads, this is like being 8 years old again and waiting for Christmas to arrive. For a second, I thought I got a senior discount as when I clicked on the order button, it initially came up as $39.99 (US)! But reality set in as soon as I clicked the next button...right back up to the full price...oh well, it was nice for a few seconds anyhow.
So, like so many of you in the younger set, I too have my calendar marked for the 27th....I'm a firm believer in "Growing older is mandatory, growing UP is optional" ;D

-
You can pre order on Play.com I pre ordered mine in February! Only two weeks to go! :2thumbs:
-
Here are the prices for American $:
Regular: $51.99!
Donation: $54.99!!
Maybe I should wait to get it for Christmas, like how I got SS08NH
-
I just discovered.. I have 2.8 Ghz .. Intel i7 and the SSE requires 3.0 Ghz .. :/
your kidding right? an i7 is a WAY newer and better generation of processors (as Fred had said) than SSE requires. you'll be fine.
-
deltaecho is right. :thumbs:
Any Core i7 cpu is WAY better than the '3 Ghz P4 Intel' which is the requirement. The amount of Ghz has very little to say in this case. The P4 Intel cpu was released 10 years ago, and is a single core where as the i7 has from 2-6 cores.

Maybe the ONLY way to settle this "will SSE works on my PC?" queries is for Vstep to release a wee program which will then be able to check if your PC is up to the job.
After all, that's what Microsoft did before Windows 7 came out - they released a utility program which you downloaded and get your PC checked to see if it would work well with Windows 7 or not......
!:)
-
Okey.. The game is Pre Ordered

Yes, a compatibility checker or hardware checker program would be very beneficial. However the man hours to calculate the score based on literally thousands of pieces of hardware is just too great for it's purpose :)
I do however, agree with that :)

I cant wait until it will be released :D :D :D
Well.. Heres my dxdiag ..

You can run it great! :thumbs:

Good for you, Capt. Best!

Please dont tell me you bought 8 GB of RAM, for gaming.. If you did then i'm going to face palm myself. :doh:
-
Actually.. I didnt buy the pc.. lol
Apperently they bough a good pc for me for a low price :D
-

Lucky you.

I've got 6GB and I'm considering doubling that. While ONE game alone doesent eat that much ram, throwing some serious multitasking into the mix can run me under 1GB free ram quite fast.
-
once i get back home im turning my 6GB into an 8GB.
-
The one I get this week is 8GB...been waiting for a long time for it :lol:
7 more GB than what I have now! :doh:
-
once i get back home im turning my 6GB into an 8GB.
Note:
Not all modern RAM works like that anymore, where you can just 'add a little'.
Some are actually like 'double or nothing' where only doubling it is gonna have an effect, not just 'sticking 2 more in'.
I'm no expert, but so I was told when choosing my pc. So don't just buy something and stick it in. Be sure to get good advice so as you don't end up spending money on something you can't effectively use. :thumbs:
Reards,
Fred

You're very welcome! :thumbs:

While it should work sticking just a gig or two more into the computer, there are some things to consider.
The new RAM sticks should preferrably be of the same brand, type and size as the old ones. It SHOULD not matter, but experience says that it does matter. RAM is the main contributor to strange bugs.
- the best thing to do is to get socalled "matched" ram-stics. These are multiple sticks packed together, and these sticks will be as identical as possible making it easier for the memory controller.
Sometimes theres even a difference in seemingly identical sticks, where some older ones are "dual sided" and newer ones are "singe sided" (the black memory banks are on both, respectily one, of the sides of the ram stick). Mixing single/dual sided sticks can confuse the memory controller and lead to strange behaviour. Or work just fine.
You also want to utilize "dual channel" or even "tripple channel" features on your motherboard. If you have the same ammount of identical sticks in the two(three) differently colored memory channels, dual/tripple channel should be enabled and you will experience up to 2x/3x RAM speed. That is why I am going from 6 to 12GB. I already have 3x2GB chips, so the only way to upgrade while still keeping my "tripple channel" on, is to get 3 more 2GB sticks (6x2 total, 2 in each of the three channels on my i7 mobo). This is probably why you were told what you were told, Mad_Fred. That, and the computer store might have wanted to sell stuff they had, instead of ordering up stuff they didnt have with a loss of profit (been there, done that).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-channel_architecture
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple-channel_architecture
-
Yep, indeed.
I got an i7 with tripple channel 3x2GB sticks too.
Which means if I am gonna upgrade, I go to 12 aswell. :thumbs:

Depends on what version you Pre-Orderd.
You have the choice between the boxed-version and the download-version
The boxed version is on a DVD and will be shipped to your (billing)address, The download version, well, what's in a name
Kind Regards
Aad

Totally agree with your comments Dodweb, especially the first one - The new RAM sticks should preferrably be of the same brand, type and size as the old ones. It SHOULD not matter, but experience says that it does matter. RAM is the main contributor to strange bugs. Ignore it a your peril!! I've been around the darn things, computers that is, longer than I care to remember and remember even now the wise words of an ancient computer engineer from long ago - they don't always do what they say they will do, or to put it another way, they don't always do what it says on the tin!!!

I thought this thread was about the price of SSE.
Anyway I see that the price on Amazon UK is £24.99 with a RRP of £29.99, this is for the boxed version.
On shipsim.com it costs €39.99 of which on the 20/08/2010 is £32.73 for the download version.
I guess what I am trying to say is it worth paying an extra £7.74 for the download version on shipsim.com that comes with the extra ship and a few extra missions (will the extra ship/missions be available for download later from shipsim.com for a price and how much will they be sold for).
Also when it becomes available for download have shipsim.com got enough bandwidth to accommodate the demand for the rush to download and play. I say this because I once paid for a download game from ubisoft and it took me four days before I was able to download my software after the release date.
I apologise if some of my questions have been answered in this thread but as I said above this thread has gone off track and I have not got time to go through all the replies.
If you want to post about how much RAM you are going to use with SSE post somewhere else this thread is about the price of SSE not how much RAM you have or going to use.
Denis I apologise I did not think you would get so upset about words with stars in them. Point taken. Also I did not ask you to go through them for my pleasure, if you don't want to go through them don't be a moderator.

Drumbeat,
Please watch the language you use. We try to keep this forum a pleasant place, and your language is absolutely not adapted.
And, sorry, if you have got no time to go through all the replies, but I personnally do not have time to go through them just for your pleasure, to give you an answer.
This is your second post, and your first warning here. Just hope you'll understand that.

Current ships in the Shipyard (Elbe, Furie) are offered at €4.99 and IF the Sigita will be offered in the future I would personally guess it was at that price. That is a big 'if' though, as I know a lot of people on these boards have gotten their knickers in a twist over the idea of offering it to people who havent preordered. Personally I dont care if it is also offered for sale on the shipyard in the future.
I'd prefer the download version as I dont like to care for physical disks, but thats a personal preference. If you get the boxed version from Shipsim, which is a better comparison to the Amazon offer, youll also need to add shipping costs from the Netherlands. With Amazon youll have free shipping I guess? It all boils down to how much you want the Sigita. If you get it from GamersGate or Shipsim.com, youll get the Sigita at a higher price. If you get it at Amazon, you risk not getting the Sigita in the future.
There have been no official word about future availability of the Sigita for non-preorder customers.
Must say I'm a little dissapointed at Amazon here for not carrying the Preorder version, theyre usually quite good with that. Could also explain the pricedrop I guess.

Hi dodweb
Thanks for your reply, I guess I will go for the download version just to be sure I get the extras and hope that when it comes to download the game from the vstep servers (or whoever they are using to host their downloads) don't crash with the inevitable rush to download and play.
I am surprised that you got to my post having to trawl through all the rubbish about how much and the type of RAM they use (this post is about the price of SSE take your RAM elsewhere). I voiced my opinion in my last post with a few words with stars in them and got my hand slapped. >:(
-
You can politely ask people to stay on topic. You don't need to use insulting words for that.
Indeed you used words with stars, but if stars mask crude words, they don't hide their meaning.
Anyway, you voiced your opinion, I voiced mine, everything's okay now ;)

You forgot the 6 extra missions that comes with Sigita.
When Furie and Elbe was available for purchase as an add on, there was no missions to go with them. Several people on this forum - whom I am very grateful - went to the trouble of creating missions specially made for Furie and Elbe.
I am one of the folks who have paid for the pre-order because I believe in giving my money directly to Vstep, rather than the third-party merchants such as Amazon (don't forget companies like Amazon and Play.com enjoy their VAT-free status, hence their cheap prices and undercutting their competitors ;))

Hear, Hear !!

Yeah, I forgot that the Elbe and the Furie didnt come with missions and thereby forgot to point it out.
I've mentioned it before, but when I lived in germany, I often ordered stuff from amazon.co.uk instead of amazon.de. Even though the german site offered free shipping on blurays and orders over €20, .co.uk was almost always considerably cheaper even after shipping fees. When I really like an item or a service, I also much prefer getting it directly from the source, like in this case.

Also I did not ask you to go through them for my pleasure, if you don't want to go through them don't be a moderator.
And if you wan't to stay a member here, don't post in a manner that forces him to do that! He's not the one posting with that dispicable attitude is he?
And cheeky remarks like this last one are not acceptable either. I'd show a little respect if I were you.
Just so you know; You indeed don't have to ask us to go through your posts for your pleasure.. but we in turn do DEMAND of YOU that you post politely and according to the rules. You're a guest here, so let's have a little less attitutde or your visit shall not be long lived...
Denis' warning was your first, this is your second, since you both uttered profanity - and censoring yourself does NOT make it right - aswell as insulted a moderator. That's two strikes in as many posts. Almost a new record I would think. Three means you're out. Seems fair enough, right?
Regards,
Fred

Moderators are just as us normal people with one difference, they offer almost every spare minute to reply to us or find things out and tell us.
They are NOT workin for Vstep, its their spare or free time so lets be nice to them huh.
