If there's anybody out there who has a copy of the Electronics Boutique Grand Prix Legends flyer, with the promised price of $29.95(/..99?), and who has a COLOUR SCANNER. I would appreciate it someone could scan it and post it to somewhere like alt.binaries.simulators.autos or email it to me.. I am curious as to what it looks like (If you don't have a scanner, would anybody care to give me a description? Pictures, backgrounds, wording, etc.) I'm in Canada and the local E.B. store doesn't have the flyer (U.S. only, I believe).. Just wondering if it specifies "valid in United States ONLY" ... otherwise if I can get my hands on one, I WILL take it in and DEMAND that they give it to me for the stated price!!! (I always get my way!) Btw, www.sierrasports.com has it listed for $49.95 US .. Thanks in advance doktorB http://webhome.idirect.com/~drbryan/gpl
: I'm in Canada and the local E.B. store doesn't have the flyer (U.S. only, I : believe).. Just wondering if it specifies "valid in United States ONLY" ... : otherwise if I can get my hands on one, I WILL take it in and DEMAND that : they give it to me for the stated price!!! (I always get my way!) This low price can also be found listed in a multi-page EB adverti***t in the September issue of PC Gamer. On the top left portion of the page is a screen shot of a smoking, burning Lotus cresting a hill (Nurburgring?). The accompanying text lists the price as $24.99. Yes, $24.99. Nowhere does it say U.S. only. Common sense dictates that the price is in US currency but that stil comes out to to about CDN$37.50. Not bad if it's not a mistake! Martin Nigel Mansell RIP!

Thanks Martin for the info.. Sorry to burst your bubble Joe, but I knew about the ad probably 2 months ago(?) when it first came out.. I was in E.B. Friday morning, and asked, they had no clue. But I'm sure MANY people will now go find the ad because of you :o)) doktorB http://webhome.idirect.com/~drbryan/gpl ---- >yep i have this ad and i'm holding on to it. i believe it was me mentioning >it on the apex that brought this on.
