I ordered Gp2 when Gp Manager came out. After calling last week about my order Micro/Spectrum Holobyte told me it will ship on the 25th. Steve

>Well, the subject says it all... The confirmed sale date is tomorrow -- July 23rd. However, some people are now saying that the game won't be available until Thursday or Friday, the 25th or 26th. I would suggest that you continue to nag your chosen retail outlet, which is what I'm doing. :)

the US on July 23. This means you can walk out of the store with a copy of it in your hands. If the store you go to gets their items via express delivery the game will be avaliable on the 23rd. The message came from Spectrum-Holobyte/Microprose. I guess that's pretty good confirmation.

That goes to show you how good SP/MicroLate is on confirmations. Not here. Not suppposed to be here until the 29th. What happens on the 29th? Then it will probably be August. -- http://www.netins.net/showcase/mpete Nascar..Weather..OnNetCameras..Oddities..and more.. Stop on by, what can it hurt?

Babbages in the Dallas Texas area are receiving them in thier UPS shipments today. If they get a shipment today, it should be in there, some stores get thier next shipment on Thursday, you just have to call each one. I found mine, but untill it's in my hands I'm not letting out the location :) !! Craig

It came into a store near my house last night (Media, PA). My wife picked it up for me and surprised me with it when I got home from work (around 9:00)! What a great deal. I called Chips and Bits and cancelled my preorder right away.

Man, CompUSA blew it. Their 1-800 number was useless, and the local number told me they had no idea when it would be in, probably next week sometime, on a trial basis. I asked, out of perverse curiosity, whether they thought it would be better to just buy it from MP- *they said "yes, probably would be.* Circuit City said they weren't going to carry it... I don't understand why (and I don't believe it- i think I just talked to a disinformed salesman). Ended up that I just went to Walden Software, pulled it off the shelf and paid $52. Great moment, seeing it there... the two that were left will surely be gone tomorrow. I got there within an hour of being put out, apparently.
