This is great to hear that someone else already has it too
One thing we can at least be sure of, the game is ready.

I don't care so much about the graphics, meaning that they don't have to look as good as the X series, if they are still ok then that's more than fine for me.

I'm looking especially forward to the planetary landings, really curious how that looks and feels and what exactly can be done on those planets.
Also how good the story is and how much freedom of play you have.

Thx for the tip on the gamma setting, I'll keep that in mind for when I get the game.
Highest settings shouldn't be a problem, got a really good config.

So what we know for now is,

- joysticks are supported
- graphics look good but not top notch
- voice acting isn't of the greatest quality (except for the girl (voice only, character?) in the ship, she has a sexy voice )
- textures can be better on some things
- good impression of the game so far, looks promising
- 3 options, arcade, inertial arcade and simulation
- no online activation and no copy protection
- oh and a Xmas tree in the cockpit
