Re: GP3 Early release in UK

What a classic case of sour grapes. Just cos some were lucky enough to get it a day or two earlier than you, you have a petty tantrum, jump up and down and tell "mummy" I really can't believe you would have reported anyone if you had managed to get your hands on it early? It hardly a big deal anyway....... now go pick up those toys that are scatrtered around your pram Marc Lee Armstrong <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:g%Wf5.348$[email hidden]...

Some places seem to have broken the law, as far as I can find out, Nottingham and Farnborough for now. I rang Hasbro and they are taking up legal action with each of the companies doing so.

I've just received this from a colleague who works in Farnborough. "I went to W.H.Smith Farnborough. I shook the box and the CD is in there but they would not sell it until tomorrow !

No, the British are noted for following the rules, queuing up, that sort of thing. It doesn't bother me whether I get it today or next year, as long as everyone is treated equitably. Tony Whitley Greg Cisko <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:auXf5.8601$9%[email hidden]...

So Greg, how old are YOU then? Don't ask me to estimate your age based on some of your language! I have a feeling I might be pretty far off. LOL JoH

I'm confused, Lee. You want yours NOW (in advance of the official release date), but you're "ratting out" retailers who are selling it now because they're not close enough to you, and therefore it's incovenient for you? What the hell kind of logic is that? Kurt Lee Armstrong wrote in message ...

It is kinda wrong to do this though. When you release a highly awaited sim a day or two early it makes everyone rush to your store adn buy the game leaving the law abiding stores with a confusing look as they open the doors the next morning to find nobody there.

Right. I am about done reading a 1995 biography of Ian Flemming. Everyone is screwing everyone elses wife or husband or girlfriend. Exactly what rules was it that the British are noted for? And before you start getting pissy, my better halves family is British. Like as in living in london when the bombs were falling. So I have some data on what the British are noted for.

Greg, your obsession with the penis and anus suggests some deep-seated trauma dating back to the time you were toilet-trained (you *were* toilet-trained, weren't you?).

That is it??? Huh. I was hoping to hear about how the brits could explain all of that proper stuff. While the person that started this thread wanted the game TODAY, and apparently busted some establishments that were selling early in a rage of spite. It seems very hypocritical if you ask me.

Oh, Cisco, let it rest, won't you?? Here you are up to your mean-spirited tricks again!! I think the guy has every right to be a bit irritated when some of the shops are breaking the rules and selling early. I haven't waited for this game with the same urgency that some have, but I can understand the frustration in knowing it is available in some of shops but NOT the one in my own neighborhood, the owners of which are playing by the rules. I agree that all customers should be treated the same and have the same opportunities for purchase, and that the shops selling early are surely doing it for the single purpose of taking unfair advantage and getting a larger market share over their competitors who are following Hasbro's release schedule. Would you be so relaxed and unconcerned on a real world racing week-end if tire suppliers, for example, jumped the release date for a killer tire compound, allowing your competetion a couple of days early testing and tweaking but not letting YOU have them until the official release? This is an imperfect comparison, but an official release date is either THAT or it isn't, and it is NOT a nose in your neighbor's business (A rather more polite version of your typically rude summary) to want the same treatment. You have a "better half", do you? Do you treat her nicely? Hmmmm? Or maybe it's just that you save your rancour and irritability for the poor saps on this NG, and at home you are the personification of domestic, tranquil gentility. We're all hoping so.

WOW! It is amazing to me how you guys are so quick to dump on this guy for being irritated over stores selling the danged game early, and all the smart-butt comments to HIM over this timing blip suggest to me that none of you people are so easy-going and laid back about ANYTHING!!

Since you didn't quote anything, I don't know which of my comments you're referring to. If I remember correctly, I said something like "What's the big deal? So, you get it tomorrow... Your life won't end." If you consider that 'anal' then so be it. I see nothing wrong with what I said, and I wouldn't even be ashamed if my *mom* read it. I don't see why it's so critical - "I want the game NOW!". Sheesh... If waiting ONE day for a *game* brings that much sadness to someone's life, then they need help...

Oh, well, Eldred; maybe I was too quick to respond, and overstated. If I mis-read you, I apologize. I can't remember what you wrote word-for-word either, (and I'd probably loose this message to try to find it! :-)) ) but it just seemed at the time to me to be a personal attack rather than some friendly hazing. There has just been so MUCH bad tempered sniping on the NG in the last two weeks, it seemed to me that it just isn't as much fun as it used to be. I wish everyone could enjoy posting and "riposting" (!) but drop the belligerant, in-your-face tone so many recent messages have had. Surely people want their stuff read or why bother posting, but when it is this kind of relentless irritability who the crap enjoys that? Are we more interested in who can write the nastiest sarcasm, or how we can get more fun out of sim racing? Well, again, sorry if I mis-interpreted.

I tried to respond to your comments last night, and I'm finding the danged messages I'm typing are not getting out. Sorry if I jumped the gun on your response to the guy who had to wait to pick up his copy of GP-3. It seemed to me his frustration after waiting years was understandable, but it seemed he was mostly dumped on. If I mis-read your intent, please accept my apology.

At the time I thought he should wait 2 little days for the game. Why? You want to discuss how cool GP3 is or something? I would be most happy to participate :-) I frankly never expected to see you here again. -- [email hidden]
