I am, I'm told to recieve it within 3 days of the US release, this is through Chips n Bits, last time I ordered through them I got it the very next day after release though (N3). -- Tim, [email hidden]|[email hidden] http://legends.sports-gaming.com/forums.shtml FREE forums for your league... http://legends.sports-gaming.com Sim racing website loosely based on gpl...

I`ve pre-ordered it from chips n bits - cost about 48 us including air-mail. I have previously found their delivery to be very good. Couple of days to UK. Certainly less than a week.

How many other European/British simracers here going to be buying NH? I ask because the last thing I want is to find after the hassle of ordering it from the US is that all the online action may be on servers with (for us , at least) bad pings. I can settle for racing 8 human opps. as long as long as the pings can be kept low. Alan.

Well i dont know. Only thing i know is that Nascar races are not a big thing in Europe. I think this can be the reason that not so many Europeans will buy that game. Dont get me wrong. It has nothing to do with the game itself. It can be really good ofcourse... If servers are only available in the US. Well sometimes it is a prob. But for instance mplayer.com is also a Californian server, but many Europeans race on that server. As long as a person from the US is hosting (with cable or adsl) the game will be running well online, included the European people..

I won't be buying it online - it doesn't sound all that great. I'll wait for N4. At least you know where you are with a Papy sim. On Fri, 18 Aug 2000 10:25:47 GMT, "HJ Ventura" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Where are you getting this from? The majority of opinions range from positive to ecstatic. Have you played the demo, or are you judging it by how good it "sounds". -- Joe Marques Please remove "NO SPAM" to e-mail me.

Yeah, I bought GP3 online because 'you know where you are with a Crammond sim.' Matt P <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I have been reliable informed by someone who's opinion I trust. So I won't waste my money on it or waste my time downloading it either. Got a problem with that? On Fri, 18 Aug 2000 13:53:14 GMT, "Joe Marques" <Joe"NO_SPAM"[email hidden]> wrote:
