New player buys GPL and GP3 together

A newcomer bought GPL for $5.25 and GP3 as well. A claim that Americans and older players preferred GPL while Europeans and Australians preferred GP3 was rejected by many counterexamples, and the 18-year-old newcomer said he preferred GPL's challenge.

Thanks to all who pointed me to GPL, I found it at Office Depot for...get this...$5.25!!! So I figured with the extra cash, I'd pick up GP3 also. I know what I'm doiing for the next 3 weeks! Nick

Racing GPL and letting GP3 collecting dust... and you will do that for the next years, not weeks ;-) Greetings, Michael Staab -- Staabi's Mountain Bike Classics www.mtb-classic.de Mitglied in der CAR, Verein f�r PC-Rennsimulationen www.car-ev.de "Sehr witzig Scotty, und jetzt beam bitte die Klamotten noch 'runter"

Eh? Let's let Nick be the judge of the relative merit of the two games, shall we? While it's fairly safe to say he'll prefer one over he other, I don't think there's any generalisations to be made about the typical GPL or GP3 player based on locality or age. Given Nick's, to the best of my knowledge, new to the forum one'd be hard pressed to make a prediction based on any other factor as well. All IMO, of course.

Weird, I'm also British, also under 40 and also drive GPL more than GP3. (Yes I own and play both, so I feel qualified to comment <G>) Therefore I think Andrew's assumption was just plain wrong ;) -- Ian P <email invalid due to spam> Slick Henry <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Dammit! > I'm English, under 40 and play GPL.

I'm a British Citizen, who has been living in South Africa for 10 years. Please advise me, what sim I should be racing? Does the fact that I have an Ausralian Grandfather make any difference?

You still can play GPL, but you need 2.3 children to do so. -Gregor
Actually, I'm an 18 year old american, and I'm playing GPL more becuase its much more challenging. Nick Andrew Williams wrote: > My guess is that if you're American and/or you're over 40 years old - you'll > like GPL. If you're European or Australian, you'll go for GP3.

Probably the weakest analogy I've ever heard ;0). BTW, I'm a 36 year old Englishman, so I should be playing GP3 right? People do say some very silly things, don't you? ;0) GPL forever!
