Any F1RS owners waiting to see GP3 before getting UBISOFT MGP ?

Below you will find a few posts from other people that are not that thrilled with Ubisoft selling MGP as a "new" game at full new game price to owners of F1RS. And in the end....... It may back fire on UBI (no pun intended) because IF UBI would have sold MGP as an "add-on pack" or at least given a good rebate to F1RS owners that buy MGP.........they would probably sell a lot more copies of MGP. I think many F1RS owners will wait to see GP3 before rushing into MGP. *I would be happy to pay $10 or $15 to upgrade...only because UbiSoft provided a number of free patches already. If anyone thinks this is worth a full game price (assuming you already have F1RS), then they have more money than sense. *I'm with you on the 'upgrade' idea. So long as the game is 75% recycled, it would seem that giving it a facelift would be less difficult (expensive) than starting over. Ubisoft is to be credited for keeping a successful title up to date but for those who have already paid for the game's development once, shouldn't they now have the option of just paying for the additional work done to it since then? I think the attitude that "I love sims so much it's worth it to me" is too generous. I don't expect to be gouged when buying water, even though I can't live without it!

I don't think so. (1) GP3 has been promised in preview for ohhh... 3 issues of PC Gamer now? and never delivered? The title, if ever, is a long way off. (2) I don't agree with the free/reduced upgrade, or just *another* patch issue. F1RS may just be a 2-3 month old title in Nth America, but it's been in Europe for at least a year now. I've played a full version at ECTS, and i personally think there is enough there for myself to want it, and i'm expecting my copy to be delievered in the next day or so. Z.

No, I'll get it anyway, because F1rs impressed me far more than GP2 ever did. I haven't played Gp2 since owning F1rs, and in the year 2002 when GP3 is released Ubisoft will have produced F1RS6.
