Where to buy RBR in Australia?

I'd like to buy this sim - now that I have a system capable of running it. But I'm finding it hard to obtain a copy in Australia (or even an overseas site that is able to ship it here). Any suggestions? How many English language versions of RBR are there?

same here. I can't believe I've finally found a game I want to buy and I can't :)

Any suggestions? Hmm, you're right. All of my favourite Aus online retailers show it as 'Discontinued' or 'Out of Stock' There's a US dealer that has some copies for sale on eBay but I'm not sure if they'll ship to Australia. It's pretty cheap - might be worth asking. It's worth the effort though - still blows me away every time I fire it up.

When I was looking for it towards the end of last year Harvey Norman had it for $75. You might be able to try there. I ended up winning a brand new sealed copy on E-Bay for $8 + postage (I was expecting to pay a lot more) so I didn't really look elsewhere. Gametraders have a couple of copies, one new and one second hand. Richard Burns Rally DVD - SH Carousel (WA) Richard Burns Rally NEW PC (new) Morphett Vale (SA) Don't know if you're in WA or SA but if not you might be able to email one of the stores and see if they do mail order. The website is www.gametraders.com.au Found the following on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/PC-Richard-Burns-Rally-DVD-BRAND-NEW_W0QQitemZ8195439004QQcategoryZ11049QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem It's $75 + $8 postage so not exactly a bargain but it depends how much you're willing to pay. There seems to be some budget release copies available from Europe (Germany in particular) on ebay for 4.95Euro + postage don't know if it contains the English version or not. There's also some on E-bay from the US that ship to Australia, as well as some UK ones. Hope it's of some help, Cordova

I ended up getting mine from the UK - cost me less than $50 and was here withing a week. I got it from this mob: http://shop.game.net/ViewProduct.aspx?cat=10339&mid=326230 It's even cheaper now - although they appear to be waiting on stock. -- Mr Q -------------------

After I bit more searching I found www.game.net (UK based). According to their web site, stock available in 2-3 days, plus 4-6 days delivery. Total cost is around A$35. I'll probably go with that option.
