-zero! It appears to be just another BS date from from the gold medal holder in bad marketing communications.

Anyone bought GP2 in the U.S. yet? I called a couple of stores (Babbages, Software etc., Software Plus) in the Dallas area, and they all said, "well, it's supposed to be out today, but it's not here. I'll call you when it gets here." Still waiting...... Craig Marcho

All the stores I talked to say the same thing "Well, its supposed to be here today" or "Maybe it will come in our noon shipment". Argh.. enough is enough. Just tell us the truth MP/SH! Its really going to be released July 23rd 1997 right? Damn, I thought so. -- "Let's kick the tires and light the fires Big Daddy!" -anonymous dead wingman

Weird, I didn't even KNOW GP2 was due to be released around now, went into *** Megastore (Computer games, CDs, etc) in the UK on MONDAY 22nd of July and bought it !! How did I just waltz in and buy it before it had been released in the US? Is it a US or UK game? I call that good timing. GREAT GAME !!!!!!
