Just a heads up that Egosoft is releasing the full X collection (http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=284820) on the 8th of October

Quote
Würselen/Planegg, Germany  – In a further step to enhance and broaden the enjoyment of its X games titles, Germany-based software developer, EGOSOFT, and publisher Deep Silver today announced the forthcoming release of the X Superbox.

This compendium represents the full spectrum of EGOSOFT’s endeavours over the course of its PC games development history, stretching right back to the first X-series game, X- Beyond the Frontier, chronicling the adventures of Kyle Brennan in the X Universe and bringing that Universe’s story right up to date with the very latest version of X3: Terran Conflict, for which a new set of missions, entitled ‘Balance of Power’ has been specially developed.

The X Superbox contains the most up-to-date version of all of the X-series games, which have been updated to ensure compatibility with Microsoft Windows XP (SP2), Windows Vista (SP1) and Windows 7 (32 and 64-bit). All of these titles are also provided without DRM. A comprehensive contents and features list can be found below.

In addition to all of the X-series titles, the X Superbox also contains an all-new and exclusive X Encyclopedia, written by Helge Kautz, the author of Farnham’s Legend and other X Universe books. This 300-page encyclopedia, which covers historic events and personalities in the X Universe, amongst many other items of interest, represents the ultimate reference for all avid fans of the X-series of games.

EGOSOFT and Deep Silver are particularly proud to announce that the X Superbox will contain a bonus DVD that is bursting at the seams with additional content, most of which has been created and developed by players and fans of the X games, as well some other previously-unreleased exclusive bonus content added by EGOSOFT.

The community-created content includes guides, artwork, music, videos and modding tools as well as many of the most popular scripts and mods for X2: The Threat, X3: Reunion and X3: Terran Conflict. The scope and scale of this content is testament to the loyal dedication and the passion of the EGOSOFT gaming community.

The X Superbox will be available on general release in the UK, Scandinavia, Benelux, Australia, France and in the German-speaking countries on 08 October 2010. Click here to go to the EGOSOFT Online Shop and pre-order the X Superbox (http://www.egosoft.com/shop/default.asp?lang=44).

Seriously, though.  It's a great deal.  I just wish they'd make the AI a little more challenging, because I could really go for some good, hard K'hak.   :drillf:

If I was a younger man, I'd buy the fuck out of that.

I don't have any sort of flight stick.  Will these games work ok with a 360 controller? (I know it's blasphemy.  I don't care.  I'm not buying a stick.)

If I were to get this bundle, which game should I play first?

I've played the last three versions of this game.  I prefer mouse and kb.

I can't find a physical copy. Their store seems to have sold out.

Yep, its sold out at the moment according their forums. I pre-ordered mine at my local games shop and got it on release day. Amazon might have copies.
