Ive been 15th in line for IL-2: Sturmovik: Birds of Prey on xbox 360 for months now. This game has barely moved yet when I requested it it was worth 600 points and now it is down to 450. Dont get me wrong, I am happy that it will cost me less points but lowering the value will not get more people to trade it out. Seems like the value matrix is flawed on this one.

This is disappointing news, seeing as how I'm one of the few people offering it.

maybe thats why its not moving. Seems very few people bought it.

I played the demo. I liked it but many more games to finish before I get to this one.

Real-life pricing does effect the point value as well.

Either very few people bought it or lots bought it but it's so good they are keeping the game for a long term replay value.

Someone has to have bought it in order to trade it. I would SERIOUSLY doubt 15 people on this site bought it in the first place, at least not at full price. The more niche it is, the less likely/longer it will take to get it.

Wonder if he'd be willing to vote the price up a bit to get the game instead of never getting it...

Yeah, it's a rather niche product for hardcore flight simulator fans.

Good luck on getting the game...

I bought it for $10, and would have traded it out a while ago but it's on hold until I get it back from a friend. It's fun, but not as "hardcore" as the long-running series is; play on "Arcade" and you're basically playing Ace Combat/Blazing Angels.

I just tried playing the original for the PC without a flight stick... yes, it is sort of hardcore indeed!
