I would be getting it on the 360. Forgot to mention that part. ;D My gamertag is Lugoves. If I can pry my girlfriend away from my 360 and Dragon Age: Origins I might swing by and pick it up at Gamestop tonight. hehe
As for negativity . . . I'm used to that. Been playing games way too long and reading their forums for as long (lots of MMORPGS too) so I am immune to it!
I loved the demo of this so I'm definitely leaning hard towards buying it. I enjoyed the demo more than I enjoyed all of HOE.
I love a good realistic WW2 flight sim. Have enjoyed European Air War, the MS WW2 combat flight sim, and even WW2 Online flying a 109.
