Some places seem to have broken the law, as far as I can find out,
Nottingham and Farnborough for now.  I rang Hasbro and they are taking up
legal action with each of the companies doing so.  It isn't fair that some
can obtain a copy and others can't! I want to build up a list of who is
selling them as I want one today!  I live in Newbury, Berkshire, anywhere
near that anyone can help. i.e. Reading?
Thanks,
Lee

Oh boy... How about taking up a similar list of all the companies
that try to push off recycled games as new versions?

One last question... How old are you?

Ok one more question... Why is it up to you to make sure
everyone is doing everything properly? Or do you work for
MI6 or something?

Greg

I don't recall that you were quite so vociferous about this 'recycling
of old games thing' with MGPRS2

So you are a 28 year old man and can't wait 2 little days
for your formula 1 game??? Is that right? Did I read that
right?

Wow, here is a hankie :-)

I had the surprise of my life to find GP3 being sold today at EB. Just
bought my copy.

It was the best 30 bucks I've ever handed over.

Thought I'd log on to RAS before even installing the game to see if
anybody else was aware of it.

Well as I recall, I bought MGPRS2 and returned it the very next
day as F1RS was way better. I said as much here in this NG
*several* times.

The point with GP3 is that many seem to believe that it is
not a GP2 retread. Where *EVERYONE* understood that
MGPRS2 was F1RS 1.5... If you know what I mean.

Besides, I have been hearing "wait until GP3 comes out"
for far to long. I have always asked how people know it would
be better. Now we know :-)

I do have one other tip for you. Since you have 2 days to wait,
you can get regular with a good laxitive. That should help a bit :-)

Cheero, old man.

I've just received this from a colleague who works in Farnborough.

"I went to W.H.Smith Farnborough. I shook the box and the CD is in there but
they would not sell it until tomorrow ! They are probably playing them at
the back ! bastardo !"

So it looks as if the threat of legal action has had an effect.

No, the British are noted for following the rules, queuing up, that sort of
thing. It doesn't bother me whether I get it today or next year, as long as
everyone is treated equitably.

So Greg, how old are YOU then? Don't ask me to estimate your age based
on some of your language! I have a feeling I might be pretty far off.

LOL

Hopefully my phone call to Hasbro did work then!
That is good news!
