Mind if I ask some stuff?
Never really got thiswhole warez stuff.

How can they put the game on the web?
where'd they get it from?
Is it ok to download?
Can *I* nd up in trouble for downloding it.....?

How does it all work?

Someone got a hold of the game and they have "ripped"
it (meaning probably took out the movies, etc) and broke
it up into small files that you can download and unzip.
There are also Full CD versions of games out there.

It is illegal to distribute or to download such programs
and I personally would not recommend it. (but others feel
differently)

If it is a good game (as people are saying it is so far) then
if you want it, you should buy it.  I try to own every racing
sim there is, so I know I will be at the store asap to get it.

Rigtho I see......

....Thanks guys, EA aren't my favourite producers to deal with but I think
I'll wait for the release.

I am sort anxious to see it though, I would never have expected such good
reports as its gotten, I was expecting F1 style Andetti racing.... Hopefully
GP3 will get pushed back more s 'I'll have time to play this:-)
