Grand Prix 3 appears in UK shops ahead of release date

Nigel Swan reported buying GP3 at WHSmith in Farnborough for 29.99 pounds two days before the official 28 July release, and said the warez build appeared to be the gold version. Others reported it on shelves in Toronto. The thread included questions about 3-axis wheel support and Blade Runner jokes.

Got it in WHSmith (Farnborough Hampshire) today for �29.99. Went from there to EB and told them. They were not happy. :) Have been playing the warez since Sunday and the "real thing" for the last hour. Although it is too early to be certain, I would say that the warez is the Gold version. If not it is bloody close. Feel free to ask questions. -- Nigel Swan

Who's a lucky boy, then ? W.H Smith do this all the time. They don't give a toss about release dates. Did you get a freebie with the game ? EB are giving away Geoff Crammond posters that are shaped like a dart board. It's true !! "Nigel Swan" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I saw it in Compucentre and at Costco (formerly known as Price Club) but i'm sticking with the warez version unless i hear that the retail version has improved massively over the warez one, which i doubt, i wouldn't pay for what i've seen with the warez version.
