Gutted!! N2K2 pushed back to 15th in UK...

So I go into EB, cash in hand for my reserved copy (none of the staff have ever heard of it and have to consult the manual every time...) but to my horror it's not there. I've got to wait TWO MORE FRICKIN WEEKS! This is torture... Mark

Well, if it's any consolation, I went to EB on this side of the pond to pick up Rally Trophy, only to find that the shipping date has been pushed back yet *again*. What's that now? Seven or eight delays? The latest promise is sometime early next week - maybe. EB's American site showed it as shipped, but no luck up here in the frozen north. Sigh. At this rate, you folks will be playing RT2 before we see the first one over here. ...Klinn

I picked up RT at EB (Richmond, VA) a week ago, and saw it at CompUSA of all places just this afternoon. You don't say where you live, but if you have a CompUSA nearby, you just might find a copy there..... Klinn wrote:

Why don't people who work in software stores(and software depts.) keep up with these things? I've asked about games before(BIG games) that everyone's waiting for. All you get are blank looks... I guess they're just working for the money - they really don't have any interest in what they sell...<sigh> Eldred -- Dale Earnhardt, Sr. R.I.P. 1951-2001 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPLRank - under construction...

Talked to the Norwegian distributor today, we're still scheduled for the 15th here, FWIW....Scandinavian releases are often tied together with UK release Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy http://www.theuspits.com http://www.teammirage.com "Animation isn't the illusion of life; it is life" --Chuck Jones (1912-2002)--
