Ya sorry, my point is lost.  All I was saying is that if you want the game
bad enough $5 difference in price shouldn't be a reason to hold out.  If it
were $20 then maybe but for me I would end up spending more time and money
looking for cheaper than the $5 difference makes.

No--*** sim racer is when you would pay double because it is more
important than any regular/non-racing game.

You may be a hard core gamer, but people here buy new computers just so they
can improve the frame rate on the latest racing sim :)

   I have all the Papyrus products...but until the Pits gets the next
edition of the Bullrun 1000 ready, I'm gonna try and pass...I have too many
leagues with other sims...no time no time...

Try Future Shop. They used to suck, but now usually have games on the
first or second day.
