no GP3 2k in USA?

What's up w/that? Does GP3 really not sell well in USA? Man, I am bummed. I want to get it, but I'm not finding it. Interractcd doesn't have it, nor EBworld, nor any of the usual suspects. When I got my first copy of GP3, I got it from somewhere in UK (red box), but I can't figure out where I got it now. I also got a USA copy (blue box) from a pre-order. Anyone in USA get it? Warez? I'm not into warez, and I don't mind paying Geoff for his work in the least... I just want to get my grubbies on that BAD. hammer

I live in the states and got mine from SoftwareFirst http://www.softwarefirst.com/default.asp They are a UK distributor. You need to have a GP3 cd to load it and it won't work on a US version, or so I heard. Anthony

If it indeed does not work with US cd of gp3, then it will pay off that I kept my Euro redbox copy... whew. hammer

My copy from SoftwareFirst does not work. It can't confirm that I have the original CD.

Do you have the US version Rich? I have ordered both of my copies, GP3 and GP3 2000, from SoftwareFirst and had no problems installing. Of course both of my copies are UK versions. If you don't have a US copy of GP3, then maybe its a bad CD.

US version == yes. GP3 installed and runs OK.

Sounds like your the victim of some very poor programming decisions at Hasbro/Microprose. No way they should prevent you from installing due to owning a US version CD. Rafe Mc

It does not work. So back it goes to England. "Chad Pierce" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:o7%q7.91184$[email hidden]...

Sure this is a Cost saving feature. No support for us stuoopid Americans. Support costs are often almost as expensive as development costs. So by eliminating the need to hold our hands while installing the patch, they save money. It is a patch right? :) dave (glad he didn't get sucked into the whole gp2.5 morass) henrie "Rafe McAuliffe" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > >>Do you have the US version Rich?
