In the most recent issue of PCGamer, there is a big 3 page ad for
Electronics Botique -- in the ad, they list GPL as being sold for $24.95
(when it comes out).

If this is such a hot new game, why so cheap?  Misprint?

Definitely a misprint.
Should be $249-50.

No no, that's only a paiment in advance, when you place the order.
And that only 10%  :-)

According to my calculations, your statement above would make the
sim about $199.  I'll take two BTW.  ;)

Cheers!

machine (set for 1967), car and everything else! :)

Ooops!
I should have realised that US$24-95 is equal to AUS$249-50!!

Most likely a misprint, though seeing how most Sierra sports
games drop $30.00 in price about 3-4 months after release, no
doubt that will be a realistic price for GPL 4 months after
release.
