I was about to buy from them until I found out shipping was going to be another $12 for 3-7 day UPS. I consider that outrageous. I prefer to support those companies that tell you up front what it will cost rather than make their money through the back-door by inflated S&H costs. larry

I knew there had to be a catch to that $12 price tag. I feel a little better about Spending $39 and getting it localy from the store and able to race it a few minutes later :) > I was about to buy from them until I found out shipping was going to be another > $12 for 3-7 day UPS.

They are full retail, sealed packages, and were packed very well. My order was confirmed via e-mail only a few minutes after requesting that they confirmed, and they sent a follow-up e-mail the next day to inform me that the der had been filled, shipped, etc. I come from a retail/service business background, and I know that kind of service and attention to customers costs some, and I for one appreciate such service, and am willing to pay a bit for it. I did have to pay tax on the order since I am in Texas, but I would have had I bought them in a store here, too, and it would have been significantly higher tax since the going price in local stores is $39.99 for GPL. Taking the tax out of the equation, had I ordered only one copy, I would have still paid only $24.00, which again, is less than the near $40.00 in the stores. As it was, I paid an average of $16.00 per copy for the game, and I actually plan to order a few more copies in quanti from them to give away as gifts, now that I know their service is so good. To each his own, I guess ... Allan

We're using it (and other games ...) in for entertainment of sponsors and guests perhaps at our hospitality area at the racetrack, and we plan on having two computers linked via a fast ethernet network so guests can race each other. We want to keep a dedicated copy of each game with each computer, plus one set of spares should a copy be lost or stolen. So, to each his own is indeed correct ... Thanks, Allan
