WOW..... that is freaking INSANE.
I just got this for $20 shipped on ebay last week... oh well. I still kinda enjoyed it.
First off, if you're even considering getting it for the 360, PLAY THE DEMO!
Second, know that MP is unpatched and FULL of glitches and exploits. It is common that people have to resort to the same exploits (insane resource gain from the beginning of the game, near-instant building of any unit or experimental) to even have a chance to combat people abusing said tactics.
I don't know if they will even ever patch it. The SP isn't really worth $20 (w/ shipping) by itself. The AI is very poor (this was the aim of a considerable amount of patching on the PC), even on higher difficulties, as well.
Just a head's up. You REALLY have to love your 360 strategy games to get your money's worth out of this.
I'm sure it's absolutely worth it on PC, though, with mods and tons of patches (and the newly announced DLC). 360 hasn't gotten much love (yet...?) though.
If anyone's still interested in the 360 version, I have it up on my tradelist and am willing to trade it, if you perhaps don't want to drop the cash. (sig/CML button on left)

What's insane is that the 360 version still sells for $29.99. Amazon is just selling it at the correct price today.
The last few games from Gas Powered Games have been really disappointing. Space Siege sucked, Demigod was average and Sup Com 2 was just ok, but the pc version patches have improved the game. If you don't mind Steam, get the PC version.

[quote name='Rhett']I'll sell my copy for $17 shipped (360) if anyone's interested (was approached already, but $17 is the lowest I'd take due to trade in values). You'd save a little on shipping I guess, if you don't care if it's new or not.
Might just trade it in though.[/QUOTE]
Awesome offer, thanks
Thanks OP, I picked up the 360 version.

Which is the better game for a non-RTS fan?[/QUOTE]
Honestly for the non-RTS fan I'd say go with Starcraft, since virtually everyone loves it, even if you don't love other RTS.
But between those two, the first one doesn't have activation, costs less, and made a bigger splash when it came out (which may or may not mean it's actually better, although one review I read said it was).
So I guess I'd say go with the first one, and if you love it get the second (if you're willing to put up with activation or an Xbox pad). I just bought the first one this year, but...it's in the backlog.
EDIT: One interesting thing about the first Supreme Commander-it was one of the first games that kind of needed 64-bit Windows 'cause of RAM usage, and of course is really demanding on CPUs. By the time I get to it, I'll hopefully have at least a quad, although I'm sure my dual core will run it.

I know how to get people interested in this game.
You can buy it, and activate it on steam according to this post
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7480-WUSF-3601
So now I want to buy it because I can put it on steam...hmm..decisions.

[quote name='Wolfpup']PC version has activation, and the Xbox version has...an Xbox controller. Sooooooo nice job Square [/QUOTE]
Calling Steam Activation?
It's far easier to settle with than say SecureRom or anything worse....
And I wouldn't call Steam anything negative.

Starcraft is OLD.
If you really want to, go with W3 or the original TA which is SupCom's great grandmother.
SupCom's ability to weild 2+ screens is the glory which other games could/should cater to.
I love looking at a large overview map on my 23" when I am also playing the game zoomed in on another 23".
This is an excellent buy. the first one is a steal on the PC, and the FA exp is the herald of the seires.
SupCom2 is more of the beginner RTSer.... and it shows.... if you like tacticle stategy RTS, get the first + exp.

Yeaaah, since it's activation :lol:
Sure, it might be one of the least onerous forms of activation, but it's still activation.
Yeah, but still great. Probably more people who'd have fun playing through that again or for the first time than anything else. I mean it's 12 years old and STILL sold in stores! Plus of course Starcraft 2 (though it also has activation...) though I'd start with the first one, since it's still great and then you get the story.
Hmm...I wonder if using my monitor + my notebook's screen at the same time would be any benefit. Well...actually, *MY* notebook probably can't drive that well enough, but I wonder if theoretically it would help.

I'm surprised the first one got higher ratings. I'm only a casual RTS fan and much prefer the 2nd. Better control and interfaces. The first one has a major save bug. Neither has or will receive any support on 360.
