Hello guys. Just letting everyone know that GA Sports will have a 24 hour exclusive download available this coming Tuesday for Sports Car GT. So make sure to stop by then. -- Tony Wyss, Editor-in-Chief Gamer's Alliance Sports www.ga-sports.com --------------------------------- Gamer's Alliance, Inc Site Relations Coordinator www.gagames.com -------------------------------- "I'm not an athlete, I'm a baseball player" - John Kruk

Hmm, that's quite a silly strategy! Why would they make everybody download the demo from one server on one specific date? To make sure everyone gets around 1.5 kB/s...? l8er ronny -- Your mouse has moved. Windows must be restarted for the change to take effect.

Ditto. What's the concept behind giving someone an exclusive on a demo download? Why wouldn't their own TWO sites (EA's and ISI's) carry it??? And frankly, the concept of one site working an "exclusive" deal doesn't enamour me to that particular site.
Sorry, I'm not impressed. I'll wait until Wednesday so my cable modem can cruise at 100K/sec not 1.5K/sec on your over worked server. Bad idea.

Well, GA obviously paid for the privelige. Come on Ronny, you know how it is. When the money's up for grabs,***the customers!

In a later post I learned that they have the exclusive download for 24h, then it should be available in more places. I implied, it would be only available for 24h... still, even that way it sucks and will be quite slow! l8er ronny -- Your mouse has moved. Windows must be restarted for the change to take effect.

Ronald Stoehr wrote It depends... I mean even if the software is hyped by us r.a.s.ers, the mass market of gamers probably don't really know about the title, or don't care. I expect an easy to download demo. Cmon, this ain't the Star Wars Trailer A and B with l 20million+ downloads!!!!!
