what is the best, cheaper and quicker online shop for games in Europe ? i want to buy NR99 and N3 (when it comes out)
I buy from Cendant in the States (i am in UK) but Cendant get things over here FAR quicker than any 'mail order' or even faster than all the shops get them, you have to pay small charges, BUT the games are actually cheaper in the USA which means you pay about the same as you would if you walked to a shop! -- Tim "Calm Down" Wheatley ________________________________________________ Tim Wheatley "Yellow menacing helmet in the mirror" http://start.at/igps_stats IGPS - Ferrari Challenge - UKGPL - Summer Cup Driver http://drive.to/grandprixlegends http://website.lineone.net/~nascar ________________________________________________

Just go to Sierra Online, only games worth buying in my view are from Sierra - Papyrus. They use Cendant for their game selling :) -- Tim "Calm Down" Wheatley ________________________________________________ Tim Wheatley "Yellow menacing helmet in the mirror" http://start.at/igps_stats IGPS - Ferrari Challenge - UKGPL - Summer Cup Driver http://drive.to/grandprixlegends http://website.lineone.net/~nascar ________________________________________________ > URL ? > www.cendant.com ?? > >I buy from Cendant in the States (i am in UK) but Cendant get things over > >here FAR quicker than any 'mail order' or even faster than all the shops > get > >them, you have to pay small charges, BUT the games are actually cheaper in > >the USA which means you pay about the same as you would if you walked to a > >shop! > >-- > >Tim "Calm Down" Wheatley > >________________________________________________ > > Tim Wheatley > > "Yellow menacing helmet in the mirror" > > http://start.at/igps_stats > > IGPS - Ferrari Challenge - UKGPL - Summer Cup Driver > > http://drive.to/grandprixlegends > > http://website.lineone.net/~nascar > >________________________________________________

I agree Tim that Papy sims are numero uno. In fact I just got done removing all other sims from my puter. And anxiuosly await N3. However I definitley do not reccomend buying direct from Sierra/Cendant if you want something new in a timely fashion. On the two occassions in the last year I preordered from them it took two -three weeks longer to get it than a local store or other mailorder. Which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that I have a shelf full of registered papy/sierra titles and they send out special preorder forms like previous would be rewarded for their loyalty. Just isn't so. JM
