Look at it this way, Even if it's not in Best Buy should have to give you a
raincheck on that price.

Today's sale papers showed NASCAR 2 on sale now at Best Buy and Comp USA.
I don't know if this is true, because I haven't seen it myself, but I doubt
they would advertise if it wasn't.  If anybody checks this out, let me
know, just curious.  Thanks!

Uh, that's called prepaid advertising. The only bright point in this is
that Best Buy advertised the game for $39.99 - $10 rebate. Time to go get
a rain check.

I went to the local Best Buy store - no Nascar 2 but the sales guy said
they did have some but they sold fast.  I'm not sure I believe that as none
of the other Best Buy stores here said they had any when I called them.
CompUsa said they should have had some but their truck was delayed and they
would have them Monday.  

Don't know what to thnk but I did get a couple of rain-checks for Best Buy
at $29.

Wait and see I guess.  Anybody gets their hands on a copy be sure and let
us know!

Sounds liek you encountered some temp holiday help that has no clue what
the hell they're talking about. The greatest "I dunno" answers are "we sold
out before you came in" and "it'll be here next week".

 I checked with our Best Buy store here in Reading, Pa. and they gave
me the same story as you. They are offering rain checks till the sale
ends. I pre-ordered my copy from Sierra, and if it hits the stores
before I get it from Sierra I will be very pissed!!!!

What you should do is ask them for a "raincheck" on the item if it is
not available, which I doubt it will be (yeah, I saw all the ads too),
since Adam already said it was delayed.  But, at least this way, when
the game does finally show up, you'll be getting a good price on it.

 I just got an E-Mail from a friend who went to his local Best Buy and
seen a woman at the checkout with Nascar2. When he got back to the
shelf they were all gone. The salesman said he had just sold his last
copy. They had gotten only a few and the next shipment wasn't due till
next week. I know that my friend wouldn't lie to me about such a thing
because we are both very serious when it comes to getting this sim.

Every store I was in today said there was a delay.
Should be in Dec 6th. I went to 5 different stores,
none of which even received one copy
