GP2: Germany, Holland, Canada, and now Italy? Why oh why?!?

Whats up with the release of GP2 in the USA? Every other country is getting them, even Canada! You would think that the copies of GP2 could float down to North Dakota or Oregon?? Microprose sure has a strange way of releasing games... Does anyone know where one could buy GP2 for a reasonable price when it does actually hit the stores? Like Egghead, Software Etc., Babbages, E. Boutique, Best Buy? (less than $50) Much appreciated.. -Jason

Hmmm. I live in San Diego too. The other day I called Software Etc., and they said they would have it on the 23rd. CompUSA didn't know when they would be getting it. I guess we'll just have to wait longer than the rest of the world. :(

My local (South Bend, Indiana) Electronics Boutique said the 23rd when I visited them today... Jeff

I went to my local *** store here in San Diego. They are usually very current on release dates. But when I asked about GP2 today, the guy told he wasn't giving dates anymore, because no-one knew!! He was quite suprised when I told him that it would ship friday :) With any luck we'll have it here in SD soon after. I know that Microprose has distrubution center here in town (I used to work for the call center that represented it) so with any luck we should see it by Monday. I should just go down there and tell 'em I wanna buy a copy :) Anyways, I have this feeling GP2 isn't gonna be *everywhere* here in the US. Hell, I haven't even seen any promo stuff for it :(

Nope, it's not here (Canada) yet. That post was erroneous. That would be like Jordan leaving the Bulls to come and play for the Grizzlies... ;-) Josh

At least your lucky enough to be able to go to a computer store that has even HEARD of F1GP2. I'm down in North Carolina, and have been in several stores (Egghead, Electronic Boutique, Babbages, etc) asking about the release date, and they just look at me funny and say "Formula what?". I'm an avid Nascar and Hawaii fan, but can't wait to get my hands on this and try it out. Matt Myers --------------------------------------------- Expressing individualism is just plain wrong.

The Electronics Boutique website has the release date for GP2 at July 23. I also went into their store last Tuesday to buy a game for my sister and the big loose-leaf tome that holds the list of release dates says July 23. -- +------------------+--------------------------------------------+ | G.
