NASCAR Legends... 11/30?!?

  OK, I've been patiently waiting.  EBWorld said 10/17 and I waited.
Papy.com said you could pre-order as of 10/13 and I waited (yeah, like
I'd fall for the old Sierra pre-order trick :).  EBWorld slid to 10/20
and I still waited.  That great day has arrived, and now EBWorld says
NL won't be available until 11/30.  ELEVEN/30?!?  How the heck did it
slip SIX WEEKS?!?  I need some sedation...  

   "10, 20, 30, 40 days to go, I wanna be sedated..."

"But in a way, fear is a big part of racing, because if there was
nothing to be frightened of, and no limit, any fool could get into
a motor car and racing would not exist as a sport." -- Jim Clark

Probably more likely to be the first or second week of november. Nascar
Legends went gold on October 16 (according to www.gonegold.com and
www.avault.com). It usually takes 2-3 weeks once a product has gone gold
to the time it's available in the stores. I would say EBworld's date of
11/30 is conservative. Don't be surprised if they change it in 1-2 weeks
(like they did with N3).

I think Nascar 3 was on the shelves pretty quick once it went gold.

Now all we need is another ignorant flame war about the release date of
Nascar Legends.  I can already see those words burned on my CRT again
"folks, the original poster had no evidence..." yadda yadda yadda. :)

I just got back from Malaysia... whist looking round the stalls there I
saw several copies of NASCAR Legends on the shelves! :-) I was tempted
to get one to see what it was, but I ran out of money...
