My next door neighbor is a merchandiser for Sierra and has heard that GPL will be in stores around middle of next week. Cool!
Possible, but not likely considering it's still in beta and has not yet gone to press. Cheers!

Mid-Oct is the "unofficial" release date for GPL from inside contact at Sierra. Stores are the LAST people to find out when they are getting games.

Oh no! It starts again..... Remember GP2? It's out next week, it's out in Timbuktu, it's cancelled, I heard the man who delivers the jewel cases says it's out on Sept 31.... Maybe they are going to release it under the cover of darkness, hundreds of innocent looking trucks speeding the *** cargo to underground distributors who will smuggle the goods to black- market racketeers? If only someone on the web could get us some advance notice? Maybe Sierra will just announce it? =)
Would you please get your metaphors sorted out?! It is hardly likely that, if the product were "released",(which implies that the legal production house is issuing said product legally) it would be "***", which would NOT, therefore, require the speeding of the cargo to "underground distributors" for "smuggling to black-market racketeers", now would it? Hmmm? :o) > Oh no! It starts again..... -- Regards, Bruce. ---------- The GP Legends Historic Motor Racing Club is located at:- http://www.netspeed.com.au/brucek/legends/

Latest I have seen is September 11th (reported on Ch4 Digitiser teletext in the UK). PC Gamer magazine intends to review GPL for its next issue, in store in early September, so that would back up the release date. No guarentees of course...
