Someone clarify this PLEASE!

Hi everyone, Now I DON'T want to cause a maylay, but I want to see if anyone else can clarify this for me. I received in the mail a Nascar 2 flyer, with pricing at $29.99, $20 off of the in store price it said. So of course I called and ordered it. Now this is where it gets interesting, they told me that it would be at my house between 7-10 days! I questioned the person saying, 10 days for TODAY??? And they said YES! I am sure I am not the only person who has received this mailing, and I hope someone can call the number and order as well, and question them as well. I will of course let everyone know IF it really arrives at my house within 10 days. This is NOT a joke, and not a load of crap, I know there have been false posts in the past in R.A.S., but this isn't one of them. Please post if you have any more information, I am not holding my breath though. l8r Todd

Thanks Terry, I wonder why they told me I would receive it in 10 days, even after I asked them again to make sure. That makes more sense, let's wait and see. l8r, Todd

I'm afraid you've been hornswoggled. The NASCAR 2 demo was just made available to the public a couple weeks ago. There's no way they could finish the complete package in 7-10 days, much less get it to your house. It's scheduled to be release in November at the earliest, and that's if no new problems spring up before then. And $29.95 sounds like too good a deal. My guess is it's actually the original NASCAR with the Track Pack included. That's about the going rate for that bundle lately. BTW, exactly what company is offering this 'deal'? I'd call back and cancel the order if I were you.

Sierra is the company offering this deal. I too received the flyer and $29.95 is the "upgrade" price for customers who registered previous race sims. However, I was told Nascar 2 would ship at the end of November. Terry

I got the postcard from Sierra also, Nascar2 for 29.99. When I called to order they said it is scheduled for release in November. Jeff

I recieved a simular thing here in the UK, then I was send a followup saying it was due for Xmas 96. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Park Group, Southend, Essex. UK -----------------------------------------------------------------

It won't ship until November. Trust me. :-)
