Interesting, I've waiting for this one in Canada for weeks. Just checked
the EB Web page and it's no longer listed. When I phoned EB they said April
16th or someting, perfect!

Strangely enough, it just appeared in this area yesterday at EB...but it is the
imported version from the UK.

Yep, same here. Saw the reports that it was coming out on the 18th, but
went to EB to return M1 Tank Platoon II, and thought I'd ask about F1RS
anyways. Guy looks it up, says yep, due on the 18th. So I'm looking about
to see if there's anything I want to get in exchange and about to just get a
refund, when the salesguy finishes digging through the shipment box and says
"Hey, we DO have it!" - so now *I* have it. Does seem to be the UK version,
unsure which one, but I patched it to 1.08 and all seems fine, looks pretty
damn wicked I'd say (K6/200 CL 12mb Voodoo 2)

This EB, like a few months ago, had a box for Grand Theft Auto about the
same size as the F1 box (smaller than most US software and much different
than the box for the US GTA release) - I figured it wasn't the real thing
since it wasn't released here, but apparently they got hold of an import,
guess they did the same with F1RS.
