Where to buy RBR?: I haven't had to go shopping for an import since Mobil 1 Rally

I almost forgot what a pain in the arse it is when titles aren't released here (Toronto, Canada, North America). Where should we get this? I am not even aware of any local retailers who import stuff any more--I know EB won't be carrying it.

I initially tried http://www.amazon.co.uk/ but didn't see it there. I pre-ordered it from http://shop.game.net/, a UK-based site. The price is higher than some other UK places I found but they ship internationally. The total came to 28.94 UK pounds, which is about $67CDN now. BTW, I'm in Canada too... I'll do the same when World Racing 2 comes out. :) - F50 GT Marc Collins wrote:

I have ordered imports from them before and was happy with their service. http://www.gogamer.com/cgi-bin/GoGamer.storefront/EN/product/001RIC David

I checked out GoGamer and it seems they only ship within the USA. Too bad; their prices look good. - F50 GT David L wrote:

Before I lay down the bucks, does anyone know if it supports multiple game controllers? -- See ya in the pits, Dean I have a terrible memory. In fact my memory's so bad I can't remember how long it's been since I've forgotten anything.

Amazon UK won't deliver to Canada (not surprising sine we have Amazon Canada). Gameplay does. Thanks.

Marc, is this games only? I get books every month from Amazon UK without any problem what so ever. Pete "Marc Collins" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:cGSWc.14547$[email hidden]... > Amazon UK won't deliver to Canada (not surprising sine we have Amazon > Canada). Gameplay does. > > Thanks.

I've ordered DVDs, CDs, and books from Amazon UK with no problem. Do they ship computer games internationally? Even Amazon.com will only ship games within the USA. It appears they don't. Just saw this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/524836/202-8339920-7083821#software - F50 GT Marc Collins wrote:

I don't have a definite quote, but the same question was posted on rscnet, and the answer was it'll support just about anything you've got plugged in- including analogue clutch and handbrake controls. cheers John

Thanks John, appreciate the reply. Now where's that damn credit card... -- See ya in the pits, Dean I have a terrible memory.

Yes the game will support many controllers all at once, analog clutch has also been incorporated into the PC version. The whole Q&A can be found at: http://forum.rscnet.org/article.php?a=76 I put my pre-order in with play.com a few days ago- �17.99 is a steal for a rally sim that promises this much.

I don't think so but I may have ordered MB Truck Racing and MB World Racing from them in the past. - F50 GT Klinn wrote:
