GP2: Germany, Holland, Canada, and now Italy? Why oh why?!?

by jas.. » Wed, 17 Jul 1996 04:00:00

Whats up with the release of GP2 in the USA?

Every other country is getting them, even Canada! You would think that
the copies of GP2 could float down to North Dakota or Oregon??

Microprose sure has a strange way of releasing games...

Does anyone know where one could buy GP2 for a reasonable price when
it does actually hit the stores? Like Egghead, Software Etc.,
Babbages, E. Boutique, Best Buy? (less than $50)

Much appreciated..

Hmmm.  I live in San Diego too.  The other day I called Software Etc.,
and they said they would have it on the 23rd.  CompUSA didn't know when
they would be getting it.  I guess we'll just have to wait longer than
the rest of the world. :(

My local (South Bend, Indiana) Electronics Boutique said the 23rd when I
visited them today...

I went to my local *** store here in San Diego. They are usually very
current on release dates. But when I asked about GP2 today, the guy told he
wasn't giving dates anymore, because no-one knew!! He was quite suprised when I
told him that it would ship friday :) With any luck we'll have it here in SD
soon after. I know that Microprose has distrubution center here in town (I used
to work for the call center that represented it) so with any luck we should see
it by Monday. I should just go down there and tell 'em I wanna buy a copy :)
Anyways, I have this feeling GP2 isn't gonna be *everywhere* here in the US.
Hell, I haven't even seen any promo stuff for it :(

Nope, it's not here (Canada) yet.  That post was erroneous.

That would be like Jordan leaving the Bulls to come and play for the
Grizzlies... ;-)

At least your lucky enough to be able to go to a computer store that
has even HEARD of F1GP2.  I'm down in North Carolina, and have been in
several stores (Egghead, Electronic Boutique, Babbages, etc) asking
about the release date, and they just look at me funny and say
"Formula what?".  I'm an avid Nascar and Hawaii fan, but can't wait to
get my hands on this and try it out.

The Electronics Boutique website has the release date for GP2 at July 23.  I
also went into their store last Tuesday to buy a game for my sister and the big
loose-leaf tome that holds the list of release dates says July 23.

I'd like to know where.  Just went down to the biggest computer store
in town and they didn't have it and they said it would be another
week.
