I thought the game was done. Why haven't I seen it at the stores yet? Did it get postponed again?

>I thought the game was done. Why haven't I seen it at the stores yet? Did >it get postponed again? My local EB said that it was going to be out August 3rd (Monday). I got on the reserve list for it anyway. Been waiting for it since they said it was going to be released in January. Kevin

I called then today, because I was told it would be shipping either last Friday or today. Guess what...(Iknow, you've already gotten ahead of me, right...) They said it is postponed until either the end of this week ot beginning of next. The reason? They said they had problems with the machine that copies the masters onto the individual discs. Uh huh... >I thought the game was done. Why haven't I seen it at the stores yet? Did >it get postponed again?
> I called then today You called the software store, or Tantrum? I would beleive you (if Tantrum themselves told you this), but if the info came from your local software store, then it's BS. Last time I heard a software salesperson tell the truth was when he said his store was going out of business. ;) I wasn't sure if this was a "uh huh" because you knew it was a lie from the salesperson, or if so because the info came from Tantrum.<g> Cheers!

Our stock file at the store where I work now lists NHRA as an active product (as opposed to new), which suggests to me that it is expected to be shipped ... but indeed there could always be last-minute delays from the manufacturer. Grand Prix Legends isn't even in our stock file yet. Hmph. I want I want I want I want... Haven't heard anything about a releast date beyond "early August". -- http://www2.cruzio.com/~keeper/toons.html - Animaniacs, P&TB, F!, etc. files http://www2.cruzio.com/~keeper/CSATSM.html - Capt Simian & The Space Monkeys http://www.armory.com/~keeper/midi.html - My own MIDI files - Updated 5 Mar

Unfortunately, I heard this from an order rep at RMC Interactive, the company who Tantrum is running the release through.
