These guys are brutal are brutal in Canada regarding n2003.  They
still don't have n2003 and it won't get  until the 10th!  While other
stores have had since wednesday.  I'm pissed becuase they have my
money from a previous returned game and I'm stuck waiting for it.
Guess that's what I get for at least being able to return a game.

to EB and received my down payment back.

    I also concur they used to be fairly reliable but not for the last
couple
of years.

I stopped in one of the Edmonton stores and got my money back. On my way out
of the mall I stopped at CompuCentre where the idiots have priced it as
Thunder 2003 so I got it for $44.99 <g>. Any Edmontonians that want a deal
go to the CompuCentre at Kingsway Garden Mall!!!

45$ CAN that means for the Americans that are lazy and don't know our
exchange rate, Michael bought a brand new NR2003, for the low price of
29,50$ US.

Yep, 29 bucks for NR2003!  You 'Mericans are jealous now eh? ;)

I paid $10 more than EB at my Compucentre, so they are still way ahead of
the game :)

I knowingly paid the extra $10 so I could have it less than a week ahead of
EB.  It's OK...  I wouldn't do it for just any game.

For the $5 difference in price I had no problem buying it.  If your going to
nickel and dime over $5 for this sim then your probably not a hard core sim
racer anyway IMHO.  The $5 means little over the thousands spent for PCs,
monitors, seats, wheels, etc.

  Yes but BECAUSE I've spent thousands on my equipment, I have precious
little to spread around for overpriced software.  :)  or should that be ;(
