good post, but i must say that i also buy both games every year, and was planning on doing the same this year, but still a little skeptic about purchasing elite because of the lack of info................
i on the other hand played to other games demo and i must say that i am highly impressed by it, in my opinion it is more then just a slightly updated version of its previous games, a major upgrade........... a great sim experience..... I don't think the demo serves it justice since it is a very stripped down version of a old build, but very very very good.......
I'm also look to purchase elite because of the RTP's and i want to see what type of experience it brings to the table.... now i need elites demo
the other game look amazing, especially the recent video released by OS, elite controls look good also, but it is also very present that elite was built on its predecessor of previous year also, going by what it looks like, it also seems to be slightly updated
