I haven't been to RAS in a few days, but I know that everyone was waiting for the full version. I work at an Electronics Boutique and we recently got ONE copy of it in, and I am going to puchase it today. Yes, it is the full version. Has a pretty snazzy looking box as well, it folds open to a pop out ***pit. Glossy as well :) So is it out near you fellas yet? Concorde Mall in Deleware is the one I work at.. we are close to the EB Shipping Headquarters, so that might be a reason... Ryan Patrick Murray -RPM

Just saw it tonight (11/20) at WalMart in Westfield, Massachusetts for $19.98. I was busy expending cash on my daughter's Xmas shopping, though, and did not grab it. There were several copies available. ~daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

Had to search hard for the one copy at my local EB (C***te NC) - it was stuck in and amongst some other games on the bottom shelf, and not on the New Releases shelves. Also noticed they had TOCA 2, and I recall hearing pretty good things about it many moons ago. DTR was $19.99, TOCA2 $29.99 - so I grabbed both of 'em. Just played a number of hours with DTR, and I'm having a ball. I didn't get too into the demo, but the full version is nice - seems to be a bit smoother to control on my system. The career stuff is really cool so far, going into my second season. Probably need to try out TOCA 2 some, or maybe some DTR online. Maybe if everyone who can't drive yet <grin> will stay out of Late Models, it'll be fun. -- Ken's Sig 3.01 "Who is the more foolish?

I found it at the EB in OKC, OK. They said they got in 12 and I got the next to the last one because I just happened to take a shot and call yesterday afternoon and call them to see if it was in. Thursday (the day they originally said it would be in) they had told me it would bein Monday. Wal Mart, Best Buy and Comp USA were NO help at all. Had no idea whn it would be in nor even heard of it. Keep Tryin folks - it's WELL worth the search. BTW - the full verwion DOES seem to be a bit smoother than the demo on my puter too.

I raced it a good bit more until the wee hours. The stock cars are pretty fun in the full version, I didn't have any use for 'em in the demo. The career mode makes running these races mean something, I guess. I turned down the steering lock some (couldn't in the demo) and it seems to control a lot better to me. Also ran a few races in TOCA 2 - I guess it's really called Touring Car Challenge or something for the US version, I didn't pay too much attention to the box. Pretty fun. It leans a bit more to the arcade side I guess in some of the gameplay mechanics and physics, but it was great fun. I guess I like the BTCC style of racing a bit more than Viper or SCGT even if those are a bit more of a sim. I like both of these, you can run a few quick races when you have 30 minutes to kill, instead of having to run the more "marathon" races in - and they both have door-to-door action in spades. -- Ken's Sig 3.01 "Who is the more foolish?

Wow, you live near here? I picked mine up at Concord Mall in Wilm. this past thursday.....I go to school right near the mall.....Concord HS. Just thought I'd let you know that for no particular reason ;-) Anywho, I got it right out of the shipment this past Thursday, on the 18th. Corey Leigh http://leighinc.darkorb.net/nascar/
