GTR - Definitive US Release?
Perhaps it's just me, but does it seem difficult to nail down a release
date for the US for GTR? I just checked the SimBin forums and can't seem to find anything regarding the US release, or if there is one. I have heard "rumors" that Atari will market the sim, but no press release or even an announcement from SimBin. I also heard a "late Q1" release, meaning March/April. It seems odd to me that the software is complete, but the marketing outside Germany is poorly conceived. As well as SimBin advanced with this porject, they seem to have dropped the ball as far as actually selling its product. I'd like to get the sim, even if it's a German version with English patches applied, but if a US release is scheduled for late Feb. or early March, I'll hold off and wait for a fully English version. |

Think of the German release as a wide scale beta test that they are making
money from. Then they fix the remaining bugs , incorporate the fixes into the USA release and release a patch for the German version.

I've got no problem with that idea, if that is the case. Business wise,
it makes sense. Unfortunately, there is no indication that is the case. |

Stuttering issues even on high end PC s, online problems etc. I think, Simbin is working hard for the next patch. Michael |

I feel the same way. If any version of GTR were available in stores here in the US today, I'd definitely buy it - even knowing of the bugs (I don't actually believe the current release of GTR is any more buggy than most current retail games). But I'm not going to jump through hoops to order it online from an international distributor. By the time GTR is available here, I'm guessing that rFactor will also be available, and I will probably buy it instead of GTR, as it runs on a newer version of the ISI engine (I'm more impressed with the rFactor demo than the GTR demo). -Pat |

The following two sites have it:
http://shop.game.net/ http://www.sendit.com/ Sendit's price is 9 UK pounds less than GAME. Release is listed as Feb 25.

Any of you guys in the United States ever order from SENDIT.COM?
Did you have any problems with them? I was just about to pull the trigger on an order for GTR. Then I thought I should ask these questions first?

I ordered RBR from Sendit and was very pleased with the price/speed/service
to Canada. Since no North American dealer seems to have heard of this, let alone has a date on it, I just pre-ordered my GTR from them yesterday.
