Yeah, all the screens shown were NR2003 I believe, then at the end they plugged rFactor. In a way, I guess it's hard to plug something that isn't available anymore (without a home mortgage at least), but you'd think it would get credit for what it's done. -Larry "Rookie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:KZH1h.7490$gf5.803@trndny01...

Even in 2003 when we were just beginning to hear about video games used as simulators by drivers the media reporting was always overly vague about which platform and which specific game. They pretty much universally would say "Video Game" and rarely expand on that (typical reporting). Even the interview they did at Juniors house as he ran NR2003 with his either custom or TSW wheel he/they never once mentioned NR2003 by name. Seemed such a logical time to at least mention the name of the game the premise of the story was about. Mitch "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:H8M1h.23922$[email hidden]...

"Without a home mortgage"? Is a genuine copy of NR2003 that valuable? I have a full copy with an unused online key that I've barely driven offline in over a year. Hmmm.... Kendt

Followup - there's copies all over eBay for $100 more or less. Kendt

Have you seen the prices for used copies on eBay? It has sold for as much as $150. New, unopened boxes go for even more. -Larry "[email hidden]" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Yea I checked their website and apparently they are dropping NR2003 and going total rfactor for the next season. I'm not sure if all the tracks are available yet but then I havn't ran rF stock car that much.

Jr didn't mention the name because he was already under contract with EA to endorse their game.

actucally he did mention nr2003, but I can't tell ya during what interview. The messageboards lite up after he pluged the game. Speaking of EA. Are they going to sit on NSR until their contract runs out? "gordo" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ywd2h.1256$[email hidden]...

I think maybe EA discovered they are dealing with a genre where the users won't accept mediocrity, and they aren't sure what to do about it. -Larry "Rookie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:D1l2h.5162$WB4.4979@trndny04...
