OK, perhaps I should have asked (to be more specific) "how is someone in the newsgroup going to commit this act of violence, since we all interact in a virtual world?". I don't think he will get killed, but I could see a rogue virus being packed into a "must have" update file which adds missing features to the pirated copy of GP3 :-) Stephen "Bruce Kennewell" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Did u ever wonder why they do NOT release a demo of GP2? Right, because the game ran like total shit on 99 % of all machines at the time. I'm sure many people felt that in some way GP2 was a rip-off, (Just remember the hype in all magazines about the mega-nice graphics u would only be able to see on your PC 4 years later...). My advice: TRY before you buy. If there is no demo.. go for the warez. Just ask the opinion of people who bought games like Le MANS 24 Hours, .... TRY BEFORE U BUY! I WILL buy GP3, IF its good on my PC. Txl <[email hidden]> schreef in berichtnieuws [email hidden]... > you are going to get yourself killed by asking this here.....it is ofcourse

It's good point. In this world where release dates don't happen it is usually a good yardstick as to whether a product is imminent or not. Us insecure Crammondophiles need any information that give us an indication is to whether things are carrying on according to plan or not.

Good Point! To all u self righteous Warez haters. Here in NZ a game costs $100+, I for one and bloody glad I tried the Warez version of F1 2000 before I plonked down $100 for that crap. Are you really suggesting it is ok for the Publisher to Rip us of with that kind of crap but its not OK for us to try before we buy?

Unfortunatley Grand Prix 3 will not have multiplayer capabilities the way I understand it, atleast not TCI/IP which I'm thinking definatly is chopping into their sales.

And the sooner other retailers follow the EB lead, the sooner they can stop whinging about EB! Here in Canberra there are three EB outlets and two remaining "small business" games outlets.

Well, it appears to have been around for at least a century-and-a-half. It's derivation is English and was apparently a colloquialism for "damned".

yup, they could but a burn and return likely permits u to patch the sim.... the warez rip likely not... I'm not condoning warez or rippin off the people who program these past times that give us soo much pleasure. I have dabbled in warez myself, and if i find it worthwhile (ie stays on my HDD for more than a week) I buy it. If we were all to just download warez versions it wouldn't be long before there would be no warez to download, oh and hey nothing to give us hours of enjoyment cuz the software houses have gone bankrupt.

Sorry, Frank, but my name isn't Dave...it's Bruce. "Back in the old days"? What do YOU refer to as "old days"? Patches have been around ever since the first computer program/game was written.

Yes, when I buy a car I: Spend 5 hours looking at it... Unwrap the packaging of paint until it's the right colour, Drive it out of the showroom window... Steal it, Tell other people where to steal it, Test it out, Then tell the showroom clerk it wasn't good enough.

I think that it's actually "kewel", Jo. That's how my son (17) types it, anyway! When I was his age it was "kool", because that's how the name of the cigarette brand was spelled. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Jo Helsen <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > "Bruce Kennewell" <[email hidden]> wrote: > > >But....but.....I was trying to be a kool warez type of guy, Graeme :-( > ^^^^ > > Shouldn't that be "cewl" ??
