Look at it this way, Even if it's not in Best Buy should have to give you a raincheck on that price.

Today's sale papers showed NASCAR 2 on sale now at Best Buy and Comp USA. I don't know if this is true, because I haven't seen it myself, but I doubt they would advertise if it wasn't. If anybody checks this out, let me know, just curious. Thanks! Michael***erson
says... Uh, that's called prepaid advertising. The only bright point in this is that Best Buy advertised the game for $39.99 - $10 rebate. Time to go get a rain check. -- http://www.netins.net/showcase/mpete Nascar..Weather..Photo Gallery...OnNetCameras..Oddities..and more.. Stop on by, what can it hurt?

I went to the local Best Buy store - no Nascar 2 but the sales guy said they did have some but they sold fast. I'm not sure I believe that as none of the other Best Buy stores here said they had any when I called them. CompUsa said they should have had some but their truck was delayed and they would have them Monday. Don't know what to thnk but I did get a couple of rain-checks for Best Buy at $29. Wait and see I guess. Anybody gets their hands on a copy be sure and let us know! Tim
> I went to the local Best Buy store - no Nascar 2 but the sales guy said Sounds liek you encountered some temp holiday help that has no clue what the hell they're talking about. The greatest "I dunno" answers are "we sold out before you came in" and "it'll be here next week".

I checked with our Best Buy store here in Reading, Pa. and they gave me the same story as you. They are offering rain checks till the sale ends. I pre-ordered my copy from Sierra, and if it hits the stores before I get it from Sierra I will be very pissed!!!! Barry Clay

What you should do is ask them for a "raincheck" on the item if it is not available, which I doubt it will be (yeah, I saw all the ads too), since Adam already said it was delayed. But, at least this way, when the game does finally show up, you'll be getting a good price on it.

I know that my friend wouldn't lie to me about such a thing because we are both very serious when it comes to getting this sim. Barry Clay
Every store I was in today said there was a delay. Should be in Dec 6th. I went to 5 different stores, none of which even received one copy Wally > >Today's sale papers showed NASCAR 2 on sale now at Best Buy and Comp USA. > >I don't know if this is true, because I haven't seen it myself, but I doubt

Are you sure it wasn't Nascar for mac? The boxes look alike. There would be a million posts here if it was out. Sounds like someone is yanking your chain... -- http://www.netins.net/showcase/mpete Nascar..Weather..Photo Gallery...OnNetCameras..Oddities..and more.. Stop on by, what can it hurt?

I went to Best buy yesterday when I saw the ad for NASCAR2, drove 3 hours and was told that the date had been set back by the manufacturer after they had their flyers printed. They did let me fill out a rain check so I could get it for the advertised $29 price when and if it ever comes out. GOD I CANT WAIT ANY MORE!!!!!!!!!!!! If you live near a Best Buy go get a rain check they have a great price at $29 and they will hold a copy till u get there,or thats what they told me. Tom Seiner
