Yea working for Honeywell definitely has its perks. Nothing like walking through the production areas where all the tools and materials are organized and everything is clean.

BRZ driver, hopefully you get to do some traveling. Just got back from the Torrance California site. Pretty cool being in the clean rooms where some of parts are made. A lot of f35 and v22 heli parts are made there. Pretty intriguing stuff.

I used to go to all of the open houses when both my dad and bro worked at the Phoenix plant, I've never worked there myself but I'm aware of the awesomeness that Honeywell does. I remember the A1 tank they had for testing, that was something else to behold!

Depends on how well you bribe which Chinese bureaucrats, which usually makes your overhead savings go out the door.

Maybe I should have worded it a little better lol I've never been an employee of Honeywell but I've had a lot family work the plants. My father was a Machinist for 25 years, my brother was a hand finisher for 5 years and my cousin was a machinist for 3 years. All at the Sky harbor plant. But they still have the tank uh?

Haha oops, thought you worked there. Yea they still have it. It mostly just sits there as far as I know, never seen anyone do anything with it.

So dumb you buy the disc just to install it why not just make all their games downloads at a like 10 dollar lower price point if they are going to do that. Saves them manufacturing costs and plastic

They do, and will, make them downloads, but the price is the same. No packaging, no faulty discs. Hmmmm, but no price drop.....

Because overall overhead of disc manufacture is negligible to the cost & absorbed in the price of both digital & physical versions.

Don't think shipping costs are negligible for all of that product shipped out though. Don't understand what their logic behind making people install the game after purchasing the disc is... Trying to be like a pc? Idk but what I do know is on steam you can get a game for a 1/4 of the price they still sell it for on consoles. If only consoles supported steam
