Blimey, dont know why you lot dont get on the e-bay mans case and get it sooner like us other impatient buggers ?
I'm not that desperate to get an updated version of a game I already have. I'm sure it's better and worth the money but I have plenty to do in the mean time. I'd rather save £7 getting it for under £18 and wait a few more days. I bought 2 copies of GTR last time getting the German version 5 months early and then the UK one, I see no reason to do the same for the sake of a few days, we're not talking months here. There are so many other races to compete in this week and next there is no time for GTR or GTR 2 anyway.
Besides I'm only one person. Most people racing won't even be reading this, know about getting it off Ebay or again care that much. They'll get it when they get it.
