8 posts by 6 people · 30 Sep 1998 - 30 Sep 1998

I want GPL and my local Software Etc. says they won't get it until LATE October...I called Sierra (Cendant) and was on hold for an hour and I never got through ! According to this NG they run a week later (after the stores get it) I may try to order through Electronic Boutique !Does anyone have any other suggestions from where I could order and have it shipped UPS red or blue and have it by Friday ?! I am willing the download the warez version (I have never downloaded anything from a warez site) but I can't find a site (!) and no-one seems to want to tell me where I can find it ! I know it is against the law but I am going to buy it anyway ! Can anyone tell me where I can order it today or download it ? ? THANKS ! ! ! Tim A. Deatherage "Admitted Sim ***"

www.ebworld.com Go there and buy it online and you will have in 2-4 days. Of course if you have a store anywhere close to you it would be worth the drive. On Wed, 30 Sep 1998 06:45:23 -0700, "Tim Deatherage"

There was a post last night answering exactly this.. Electronics Boutique has posted a special ad on their web page to get GPL for $34.99. Here's the URL: http://store.ebworld.com/ebx/products/product.asp?pf_id=152279 They will ship it ASAP, I believe.. and you can't beat that price! doktorB http://webhome.idirect.com/~drbryan/gpl For the GPL track files(Watkins Glen AND Monza), FAQs (I've got them!), installation help, release date updates, PC GAMER preview pics, GPL box covers and more! ---

Sorry.. no sooner had I posted the message, I discovered that the EB website is now listing "GPL as temporarily out of stock" .. guess the $34.99 price tag was just too much!! AAAAhhhhh!!! Also... the Toronto (Canada) area EB's that I phoned (3 of them!) all said that it should be in stores tomorrow (Thursday), as they weren't yet sure if it was shipping from the EB warehouse in the States, or the Canadian EB warehouse. doktorB http://webhome.idirect.com/~drbryan/gpl For the GPL track files(Watkins Glen AND Monza), FAQs (I've got them!), installation help, release date updates, PC GAMER preview pics, GPL box covers and more! ---- >There was a post last night answering exactly this.. >Electronics Boutique has posted a special ad on their web page to get GPL >for $34.99.

I just called my EB here in Austin, TX, and they are getting ready to call everyone that has reserved a copy like myself. They had better not sell my copy or I will have to get medieval on them. So much for catching up on sleep tonight. Matt

% Sorry.. no sooner had I posted the message, I discovered that the EB website % is now listing "GPL as temporarily out of stock" .. guess the $34.99 price % tag was just too much!! % AAAAhhhhh!!! Does this answer the question as to whether GPL will sell? I found it rather amazing that they sold out so quickly, considering most of us hard-core simmers will be getting our copies directly from the outlets and not via mail-order. -- **************************** Michael E.

Friends, I called this morning and ordered it to be shipped by Fedex two day delivery. With God's blessing I hope I got my order in before it SOLD out ! ! ! ! Thanks everyone ! Tim A. Deatherage "Admitted Sim ***"
