Movie: "Grand Prix" to be on Speedvision.. what a perfect(-ly wasted) opportunity for Papyrus!

I don't know.. I have word DIRECTLY from Sierra in Europe that the game will
be on sale by the end of September (the 30th was mentioned).

We North Americans (I'm in Toronto, Canada) were promised GPL a couple of
weeks before Europe (and the rest of the world <-- that was for you,
Bruce!).

Therefore, the 15th would be right...
However.. the computer stores have updated their pages to show Either
September 30th, or October 2nd (depending on which retailer you talk to).

So my "two-bob" is on a WORLDWIDE release for September 30th (that's a
Wednesday, btw).

Time to book off work!!

Hey, if your "source" says its gone gold already.. then even better!
Let's hope you're right..
Doesn't give me much time to get my webpage ready.. I was originally hoping
to have all the track pages ready by October 15th (the date that I had
previously been told was THE date).

Although I'm a bit late outta' the gate, mine says the same - that GPL
went Gold Friday (or there abouts).  Still, I give it 3-weeks minimum
(from past experience) for it to hit the first store I think 9-30 (as
stated elsewhere) is a strong possibility.  I'll get crackin' on the
TSP-GPL section right away (actually done, but nothing to post<g>)!

Doc,

You may be right on this one...However, I would like to point out
that Sierra is usually the LAST to know when one of their own products
ships (historically the worst source for new product information on
the planet).  If it indeeds comes out on the 30th, then their mention
of the date would've been a lucky guess (at best).

Nonetheless, thanks for keeping us posted about all-GPL!  =)

Cheers!

Marc

Bruce's being a "nut" is very consistant with his love and obvious affinity for bags of
spanners (see elsewhere)!

Well, "it" advised tonight that "it" had 'played the full version'.
That's all I can tell you.
