I popped into EB today, the games are sitting there, for you to pick up and look at, and hear the manual + cd rattle about inside. But they have a stupid sticker on them, and they will not sell them untill tomorrow. Price check : 34.99 over here in cardiff, how about anywhere else? I guess that would work out as about $56 dollars (if 1.6 dollars in a pound), pretty crap, eh?

Just had a phone call from Game in Wrexham, my copy is in and can pick it up tomorrow. Also 34.99.:-) Pleaded to let me have it today, but they said they couldn't even buy a copy themselves until tomorrow. :-( Ian P

I went into woolworths today, they also had it but wouldn't sell it. They did say it would be 29.99 however :o) Nice flip open front to the box as well. Robin. >Just had a phone call from Game in Wrexham, my copy is in and can pick it up

Yeah, I will be zooming down to my local store (Southampton) tomorrow, Friday.... to get my Lotus-49.... same price here, 34.99, almost any amount of money for this sim is worth it, but a big disparity between here and the states! Someone, somewhere making lots of money! Jammer UK
