NASCAR Legends... 11/30?!?

OK, I've been patiently waiting. EBWorld said 10/17 and I waited. Papy.com said you could pre-order as of 10/13 and I waited (yeah, like I'd fall for the old Sierra pre-order trick :). EBWorld slid to 10/20 and I still waited. That great day has arrived, and now EBWorld says NL won't be available until 11/30. ELEVEN/30?!? How the heck did it slip SIX WEEKS?!? I need some sedation... "10, 20, 30, 40 days to go, I wanna be sedated..." "But in a way, fear is a big part of racing, because if there was nothing to be frightened of, and no limit, any fool could get into a motor car and racing would not exist as a sport." -- Jim Clark

Probably more likely to be the first or second week of november. Nascar Legends went gold on October 16 (according to www.gonegold.com and www.avault.com). It usually takes 2-3 weeks once a product has gone gold to the time it's available in the stores. I would say EBworld's date of 11/30 is conservative. Don't be surprised if they change it in 1-2 weeks (like they did with N3). Philster

I think Nascar 3 was on the shelves pretty quick once it went gold. Michael K.

Papy's website says a release date of November 15th.

Now all we need is another ignorant flame war about the release date of Nascar Legends. I can already see those words burned on my CRT again "folks, the original poster had no evidence..." yadda yadda yadda. :) Stephen : I think Nascar 3 was on the shelves pretty quick once it went gold. : Michael K.

I just got back from Malaysia... whist looking round the stalls there I saw several copies of NASCAR Legends on the shelves! :-) I was tempted to get one to see what it was, but I ran out of money... -- Cheers! Graeme Nash
