I didn't mention that, but I also bought the Xbox 360 in anticipation for BOP. I was never much of a gamer, still am not. My sons were and they are married and off on their own with their own families, and of course took their boxes with them. They teased me when I went out and bought my own when I heard of BOP about a year ago. At the time, I had already thought it was available, but oh well, I bought a few other games in waiting, Ace Combat 6 being one of them. And enjoyed it, but I have always been an old school type, and loved the early aviation era, especially WWII war birds. I couldn't wait for the game release, and pre-ordered it as soon as I was able to back in May. I played with the demo as soon as it came out as well. I am also a SIM guy, not a gamer. Another good sim type game is Baja Edge Of Control, which until now, was my favorite title. Now, BOP demoted Baja, but I still love the both of them, and they are my #1 and #2 on my XBox. I am now content in waiting for newer versions coming from these developers. I really hope they stick with the SIM type of format in gaming, maybe even other SIM stuff like off road racing as well, or other transportation type of SIM stuff. Trains (I am also a Rail Fan), Planes, and Automobiles. Maybe even some Heli stuff, Tank stuff? I will be watching...

I really hope that console based sims develop a huge following and that we can look forward to more titles and continuing upgrades. Its MS who need to address the limitations of their platform for this genre and hope that they do so ASAP.
