They oviously buy them more than once, because sports games are often
top sellers, and there cant be mainly new people buying those games
every year. Like what was posted before, i think that fixes etc should
be updated with a patch, but new features like, hi-res cars, training
mode, new sound, new tracks, improved handling, and updated season
aswell as generally updated graphics hasto justify a new release.

20 pounds sterling in the UK, or about $30 US, which is also what N4 cost
on release. I'll be buying it, N2002 is not easier than N4 to drive, it's
certainly nothing like the "arcade" N4 mode people have claimed.
Great feeling in the handling, excellent engine sounds and hi-res car
paints. I'll be buying it if it hits the shelves here.

In our german lessons, we were told it's "fingerpincherkopfchopper"
Is that not right? ?:o/

We need to also keep in mine that not all the bells and whistles are
ironed out when the demos get released. They could just NOT release a
demo at all. My God, what an uproar THAT would cause. There are too
many variables to consider. Unless I'm hell-bent on having the game, I
will listen to what others who purchase it have to say about it before
I decide on a purchase. I RARELY let a demo impact my buying decision.
But, whichever you prefer.................

>cheers... Rico
You took the words right out of my mouth brother. There are a lot of
smartassed snobs in here, and it's too bad. I followed this newsgroup
for many years under different usernames, and just got tired of asking
for help or just asking simple questions, only to come back a couple
days later and find either no response or a few smartassed replies. So
now I just lurk and occasionally assist someone that needs help. I
guess self-help is the new in thing now.
