Care to guess how many copies have sold?  hell the 2 importers I know of
were out of stock at least once.  but then again how many do you buy at one
time if your "importing" it for us Gringo's LOL?

I downloaded it from Gamers Hell in 6 minutes.

The original site put so many fly-over ads on the screen I couldn't even
read the damned content.

Thanks for the demo notice Neil!

I wouldn't know the specifics either, like marketing costs, and who's palms
you got to grease since the semi-protectionism we have in place.  You do
understand that Walmart technically is a storage facility, with checkout
counters don't you?  Walmart, sams, none of them buy anything until the
second it is scanned at checkout, plus they rent "shelf Space" to market
products...  But I digress.

licensing?  only in the us?  BTW licensing is absolutely crap, IMHO...  Bud,
Ford Et All should have to pay for placement adds, just like in the movies
if anything, that is MY opinion.

I'm guessing it's the cost of getting a distributor for the US market
vs. potential sales.   It's not going to sell at all if they don't
advertise it, and there's additional costs.   I know too many people
here that think CMR is the end all-be all of rally racing, and while one
of them was recently convinced (and imported his own copy of RBR, and is
now ecstatic about the game), most will not be.
