I'm in Canada and never see this game in the store. Why is that? Am I
forced to pirate it to get a copy?

I saw several copies at a budget price (3€, I believe) over at my
local supermarket (granted, it's in Germany ;-). Have you checked ebay?

All the best, uwe

Yes, but I don't use eBay or have a PayPal account. After reading all the
horror stories about eBay scams and PayPal issues I don't want to buy from
there either. I do have an eBay account that I set up years ago but have
never actually used it.

I guess they figured Rally Racing is only watched in Europe or what?

I've bough loads of stuff and never had a problem. Never and a problem with
PayPal either. Personally, I think you're panicking over nothing very much
in the way of real risk.

Explain all the scam stories about eBay then? Did someone make them up? I
don't think so.

Oh yeah, all those scams about RBR, I forgot about them!

The golden rule: if it looks too good to be true, then it probably is.

I have seen RBR in a few WalMarts in Canada.

Hm, the risk you're taking ($5-10?) could be offloaded to a mate who
could purchase the item for you and who uses ebay regularly. Should he
/ she get ripped off, you're out of $10; if it works, you'll be able
to enjoy the world's best rallye sim. Sounds like a deal to me.

Cheers, uwe

No, no, he's made his mind up. Wouldn't want him to fall victim to the world
famous RBR scammers, now would we? <ROLLS EYES INTO BACK OF HEAD>

No, they didn't. If they had I would own it. I've never seen it at my local
Walmart either, or EB, or LD, or Futureshop.
