Does anyone have any information regarding an Australian release of this
sim?
I have checked with a couple of outlets here and nobody knows a thing about
it.

If it isn't going to receive a "down under" release then I can buy one from
overseas but it would be nice to give my custom to my local software shop,
if possible.

Hi Bruce...
Dunno about Aussie release; if/when/ever...

Obviously available in europe... v 1.3  But if your 'local' store
deserves your custom (and your dosh) let them work for it... tell emm
like it is... they gotta get it for you!  Else... ship it yourself from
europe and watch as they go out of business!

And... what ever it costs, it ain't enough; awesome sim.  Some bods moan
about the on-line element, but since I've been on ADSL it's been fine
with me. Replay, save and edit laps not up to GPL standard... but
hopefully there will be a fix for that later.

Well, David, the reason for my question was to (hopefully) elicit a response
from someone who possibly *does* know! :)

I have tried both demos, am up-to-date with the release of the sim
internationally and don't play on-line so the information that you have
given I was already aware of and makes me none the wiser, but thanks anyway.

Bruce.

I picked mine up from here last week:

I think they must be importing it themselves as none of the other game
stores seem to be carrying it.

I bought my copy from Games Warehouse:

a bit pricey but it's worth it...

Thanks, Steve, and thanks to the other Aussies who advised about Games
Warehouse.
Hardly Normal is pretty convenient for me so I'll wait until the end of the
month.

Cheers!
Bruce.

Ouch, at that price they don't deserve customers. I got mine from
Sendit.com in the UK, cost was $65 including postage and it arrived in
a week.

    You don't need to be to read the message board - just register for the
message boards iirc. Good source for all sims in fact.

Bruce Kennewell says...

Unbelievable that only Hardly Normal will carry such a serious title.
I'm poised to get it from Gamerswarehouse and will probably end up
clicking the order button because I just can't see HN being the sole
distributor of this title. Might pop into a HN today and see if they
have it on their database.

Cheers,
Rod.
