NR2003 for $19.90

Just a heads up to those who may be on the fence, www.gogamer.com is selling the DVD pkg version for this price! -Tim

How can they do this, is there that much mark-up? Is this legit?

Thanks for the head's up Tim. I am sure this is just a bit above their cost...so it's a great deal. Marc "Mike Portnoy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:JKc7a.20249$[email hidden]... > How can they do this, is there that much mark-up? Is this legit? > >

Are you sure it's Nr2k3 or an earlier version? F1 2k1 was incorrectly listed by several retailors at the F1 2k price when it first was released. Many retailors just don't know the difference between yearly updates. You can probably find some stores that sell N4 for more the 2k2 or 2k3. dave henrie

They know that this is a great price for the latest game and are limiting the potential for folks to flip these on eBay with a limit of 1 per customer. BTW, it's a "DVD" case version (which sells for only $27.95 reg. price) which leads me to reasonably guess that it's an EXPORT version since I haven't seen any DVD case games in the US yet but I know they're popular in Europe. Perhaps they are getting these in the grey market and thus saving on cost vs. the US version (photo supply firms do this all the time with Kodak film which is made in the US yet can be bought cheaper overseas and brought in via grey market). Hey, it's a theory. How the hell else are they selling it for this low? BTW, you're right about some dumb ass retailers out there. I've seen N4 for $49.99 recently. Feel sorry for the poor SOB who buys it. -- Joe M.

THe site did indeed confirm N2k3, but they listing stated "Full English Version." Is that the UK or English language release? Any compatiblity problems if it is the UK version? dave henrie

It is in fact NR2003. Gogamer (formerly compuexpert.com) has these fire sales every week. Many of us buy from this Etailer frequently. This is a DVD case version which is similar to the old days when you could buy a jewel case version of a game. You get no box, just the CD case and the CD case abbreviated manual. I doubt you will get the thicker manual that comes in the boxed version. -Tim "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Well since they release a new version every year I assume the "lifetime" of the product is very short, so the sales start earlier then they would do on a "normal" lifespan game.... And yes I know this is supposed to be the "last" nascar game, wait and see... -- The first ever pinball ezboard !! http://pub7.ezboard.com/bpinball SYS80 : BLK HOLE - HNTD HSE - SPRIT - VOLCNO - PNK PNTHER - DEVLS DARE - RYL FLSH DLX - SPDERMAN - CHRLIE'S NGELS - TX SCTOR - MRS GOW - RBO WARS BALLY : XENN - EGHT BLL - EGHT BLL CHMP - PACMN - SPKEASY 4 - STRKES N SPRES - SPCE INVDERS - FTRE SPA - LADY LCK - PRAGON WILLIAMS : BLCKOUT - CNTACT - ADDMS FAMLY "Tim Miser" <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message de news: [email hidden]... > Just a heads up to those who may be on the fence, www.gogamer.com is selling > the DVD pkg version for this price! > > -Tim > > >

Its the UK version and the only difference is the DVD case and 1 or 2 cars are missing from the US version. -- __________ Steve "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > THe site did indeed confirm N2k3, but they listing stated "Full English > Version."

Papy's manuals ain't what they used to be (dammit), so I don't see the manual as a big loss.

Minor gripe on the service. I was able to purchase the product, and my credit card actually had 25$$ left in the account. But I specically chose the POSTAL Service for delivery. Since I work in the same building that delivers my address, I could get the package dropped off at my case. But gogamer just emailed me and said they have shipped it 2nd day Fed Ex. Which is actually 4th day Fed Ex cuz the weekend is at hand. AND, I won't be home to receive said package. ah well...I probably won't be using it til fall anyhow...:) Not till the next Bullrun 1000 fires up. dave henrie

$39.95. 2002 is $19.90 "Tim Miser" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Just a heads up to those who may be on the fence, www.gogamer.com isselling > the DVD pkg version for this price! > > -Tim > > >

Sorry but you're wrong here. It was $19.90 for 2003, you just missed the sale (48 hour madness which they run all the time on different games). It was for the DVD case import version (UK) which is still available for less than US version: $29.90. -- Joe M.

I just got mine delivered and it came in a regular size box and with a book, but says "Asia Pacific Edition" on the side of the box.

Yeah, I ordered one for a present and got it yesterday. Normal box, Normal CD. I didn't even notice the Asia Pacific label on the side and back, heheh. Although it hasn't been installed yet...

> Well...how odd...It is NOT a DVD package but a full sized American style box..not even the new smaller box...the same 7.5 inch by 10inch box that dang near every game before this year was sold in. inside is a cd jewel case and a 70 page mini-manual.
