Re: N3 Track Pack Info

There is no way that I would pay more than $10.00 for this software. Six tracks plus two night versions that have been posted on various third-party websites. Ratbag offers some of the best racing out in stores with a $20.00 msrp title "Dirt Track Racing", which I was able to buy at Wal-Mart on sale for $9.99 a month after its release. I have been a loyal customer of Papyrus' having bought every title, including the mega flop SODA Racing. I live in the Watertown, MA area and have done testing for Papyrus when they were not owned by Sierra, and have been to their offices for beta testing of NASCAR Racing the original and the first attempts at web racing. I don't know how many of these disks are going to be produced, but I can't see them selling many at the retail store level at that price. I think that Sierra has really over valued this expansion pack. Mets41

Direct word from Papyrus: "The NASCAR Racing 3 Craftsman Truck Expansion Pack product is officially gold. It will be widely available as part of the NASCAR Acceleration Pack bundle by next week. At this time, the Expansion Pack on its own will only be available via Sierra Direct Sales. I hope that will change if the retailers perceive a demand for this title, but right now that demand is not there. I regret that this will make it a bit more difficult for our fans to get the product but that is the current situation. Sierra Direct Sales number is <snip>, and the direct web site link is <snip>(do not order this) The web site has an email notification feature that will let you know when the titles are in the warehouse ready to ship out. It may be another week or two before they will be ready to fulfill the orders. Dave Matson Senior Producer, Papyrus / Sierra On-Line" Time to tell Sierra/Papy to take their expansion pack and use it to expand a bodily orifice. They either offer it for download or not at all. http://www.sierra.com/corp/contact/main.html http://www.sierra.com/corp/feedback/main.html mailto:[email hidden] mailto:[email hidden] Jon Bagel <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bhfF4.3070$Q%[email hidden]...

Did we expect anything less? This is the way they treat the customer. Sierra/Papyrus are hand fed for fuck sakes. "Racer88" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ZvjF4.56004$[email hidden]...

On another thread, the sales of the truck pak are going to be online only since they can't get any interest from store buyers for the product. dave henrie mets41 wrote:

>I hope they end up eating it.............. Apparently I'm supposed to be ashamed to admit I'm getting it... I still think that for less than it costs to take the Ol' Lady to a movie I can have something that'll entertain me for MONTHS (sorry, Babe, you're on your own) is too good to pass up. Hoping it'll have the latest patch in it, too. Trucks are TOO much fun to be without. And FINALLY we'll have PIR (too bad they dropped Portland Speedway [my Friday night track])! Gunner
