A new plane, the American P47D, previously only available to pre-order customers, is also included.

£7.99 on UK PS3? for 6 missions that players could've happily thrown together with great joy & satisfaction, if the trademark mission editor was present? and for 1 and a half airplanes? (being that only 1 plane having a cockpit & even that one's in the 'game' already as a big glaring mistake). And to fly said planes on said missions with the same broken 'game'?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I'll have the laugh for you shall I?

PERSPECTIVE: £7.49 online buys you IL-2 1946!!!!!

Dude, seriously. Go send an email to the publishers or whatnot. This forum is visited by the developers. They have practically nothing to do with the price. They try to help us best they can, took into account our feedback for the update, don't go bitching to them about something they can't control. It's disgusting.

how the *** is that giving perspective . Did you go 'what the heck, 65 bucks for COD5?? --> perspective: COD1 is 5 bucks online!'.
How can you compare anything to the price of a 10 year old game... srsly
This game was at least 15 bucks cheaper than any other new release, so you still have 'saved' money even if you buy the DLC.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I will laugh for myself, but not at the DLC, but at you.


srlsy, try to post something to help people, help the devs make a better sequel... anything. But dont rant about 8 bucks you cheapskate

An obviously below par comeback to be expected from someone that thinks a 'buck' & a UK 'pound' are of the same worth. Try something like '13' bucks & you're pretty much there.

I'm not gonna even talk about the price anymore.

But can someone tell me if this game pack has any trophies/achievements? I don't think it has, but could be surprised

I'll ditto that..

Sure, it was a pretty steep price (my cash-nipples feel sore from the milking), but hey, no one FORCED me to buy it and, as I like to believe, (however naively), buying this pack may encourage the powers that be to release a bigger, better pack in the future

20 mins eh?

Indeed. It was a little steep, but hey, I've always had a thing for the Jug (or attack planes in general. Maybe its the explosions =D) so I decided to shill out the $10 to get it. I also felt that it might show my support for this game and help to encourage future releases (P-38 lightning? ...please? ^^ lol)

Of course it took 20 minutes. Don't you know how badass Das is? =O

lol

yeah, lets focus on the number '8' , instead of the point that you compare this game with a 10 year old title.

Anyways, the 8 bucks was just a number I found somewhere else on this forum. I have a xbox, so I didnt see the PS3 price myself. And no, I do not think the UK pound and buck are the same. I;ve never mentioned the UK pound anywhere. I use euros, and those actually are about the same as bucks.

I will stop the name calling here. So you dont get tunnelvision and can focus more on the rest of my post. And try to find a counter argument for that.
