I knew it would eventually pay to wait :)

That looks like the regular price now, too.  No indications it was a sale,
and it was priced with original distribution stickers, not signs.

Go get some!

I think so. Dave H. posted that CompUSA had dropped their price too.
Somebody else went to Circuit City and had them price match it and go it for
17.99 after the "10% of the difference" part.

I wonder if this means that F12003 has been internally announced to the
major chains ?

  I haven't heard squat about another F1 title, but I did see on BHMS that
at least one person says EA's Nascar Thunder is due out this week.  Could be
THAT will be the focus of the company from now on.

DTR2 is next week, but I thought Thunder is not till late October. At least
according to what I have seen.

In an online news story concerning the closing of Microprose UK, it was
stated that this, "combined with the announcement that there will be no F1
2003 from EA Sports" made the future for F1 sim enthusiasts look bleak. Not
an exact qoute, and I didn't mark the spot where I read it, but the meaning
was clear enough. Anyone else seen anything about this, or was it some
journalist got half the story wrong?

NT2003 is available for the Xbox this week, not the PC which is due 10/21

I think Nascar Thunder 2003 is only due out this week for the PS2 and XBOX
acutally due out today (sept 18th) in stores tomorrow Sept 19th.

The PC version is still sched for Oct 21st as I understand it.

Wouldn't that be interesting...  EA taking over Nascar, and Papy taking over
Open Wheel.  Hmmm....

Thinks are getting VERY interesting...

I wonder if this also means F12002 is 'code frozen', and will never see any
more updates ?
