OK - I'm biting the bullet. I'm going to become a GPL fanatic. I've
decided to put in the time, be patient while I develop the skills, and
learn this sim. From what I gather, this is the Falcon 4 of racing.
One little problem - it's hard to find the game on the shelves. Are
there any retail outlets that normally keep a copy on the shelves?
Also, what patches would you folks recommend?
Thanks,
Jeff Lackey

GPL has been seen going cheap in places like Office Depot or Staples. I have
also seen it on the used games display at our local Electronic Boutique so
you might want to check there too. As for patches just get the latest
official one ( http://www.papy.com/ -root around a bit untill you find the
GPL section ) since that contains all the latest improvements and will make
you compatible with the online racing crowd. Also at the papy site you can
pick up the new D3D patch if you're not using Glide . After that if you plan
on racing online go to Alisons site http://alison.simracing.com/gpl/ and
check the online section to get yourself set up for VROC. Lots of other good
stuff at Alisons site includeing some decent setups for new drivers. After
that the choice of what you do can be *enormous* since there is all kinds of
stuff out there to enhance GPL. Good luck

There are 25 copies listed on ebay right now (Friday evening), many in new
sealed boxes.

Two months
later at least 50 boxes hit my Office Depot.
Man if I had a bit of extra cash I'd go clean 'em out and resell the games
when the market price goes up :-)

Yes, these ebay resellers buy up copies for $5 and sell them for a profit.
lame. If anyone wants a copy email me and I'll send one out for $10
shipped.

Do you ship to Canada for $10? A friend of mine has been looking for GPL in
our area for the last month or so with no luck. I'd like to surprise him with
a copy if I could.

Well it might be a dollar or two extra, whatever USPS says. If you
definitely want one email me. I've only had requests for one copy so far,
and I probably won't bother for less than 3 as the store is way on the other
side of town. I did send out 3 a couple weeks ago to NFS5 drivers. (these
are the original full retail factory sealed boxes btw).

Ken,
Most Office Depots and Staples seem to have lots of copies in the "Sierra
Classics" rack. I *think* they were about $20.
I know the ones here in Victoria BC do.

I've seen GPL in several stores of the Half-Price
Books chain in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
Usually $14.95. If you have those stores in your
city, might check there.

It's all over eBay for less than $15.00, some for even less than $10.00.
That's where I got mine a couple of years ago.
