As the title reads...

Anybody know the cheapest place to get FSX?

And what edition should I get?

Cheers.

Some prices on Pricespy. This is the Gold Edition, which includes Acceleration. You can get it cheaper without, but why wouldya?

I hear that Acceleration brings the FPS down. Is that right?

No that is not correct as far as im concerned since the first version came out fsx has improved its performance and stability with SP1 SP2 ,
Acceleration is SP1 SP2 updates with 3 extra aircraft and missions ,when it comes down to its a factor of things that have let other people down in there set up i think ,not FSX acceleration addon itself ..
