What will tick me off completely is if I walk around a shop this weekend and see it on the shelf (I'm intending to do this, just to make sure). It's supposed to be all of SA that is hit with the delay.Quote:

My experience of Amazon, you'd be lucky you get it on the 25th too. Hopefully you won't have to wait as long as I do.
Holey cow , dudes . You guys are seriously jonesing for this game , eh ?
I used to have the time to do pc racing . Maybe some day I'll get back to it .
I hope it lives up to expectations .
I and 4 or 5 of my friends had a really great rivalry going on with GP3 in my little town .
We had a tot board of all the top times and positions for the different circuits , so off season , we ran at those to take honours in ten lap races , starting at the back of the pack .
All races had to be witnessed by another member of the group .
During the season , we ran just at the upcoming tracks , both to familiarize ourselves again with the surroundings , to enhance the viewing of the real race , and to make it more like a real season .
I had one buddy get me a seat of of an old Mazda in a wrecking yard , fitted up with a wooden base for my birthday one year .
I am sitting on it as I write this .
It's great , and cheap , and easy , and just the best for this purpose as it's fully adjustable , to fit different drivers .
I highly recommend it .
I do understand all this jonesing .
It can be big fun .
I hope it's good , because you guys are going to be mighty depressed if it isn't .
If in the game you are Alonso teammate, does at one point in the race the engineer says "Ehm, Fernando is faster...than you. Can you confirm it?"
Wouldn't that be super realistic.
Only if you choose the response: "tell the cheat I'm not slowing down, or putting it in the wall to accomodate his immense ego"
I'd give the engineer the bird as I go past and drive faster!
@Bagwan - nothing wrong with GP3, although the new-age people would consider the graphics dated. I still think it had the best AI I've ever seen in a F1 game, the way they defended their positions was amazing. In GP4 they weren't that aggressive.
I would sh*t my brain out if that happened, it'd be awesome :DQuote:
