There's another guy selling it on there - at £49.99 PLUS £2.95 postage and packing!

Can you believe that? Selling it for more than you can buy it in the shops! Not surprised he has no bids!

Well Flanders and I emailed a guy who'd paid £85 for GTA:VC so that's nothing!

Haha...thought that might get your attention. Well I said something like this

"what in gods name are you doing paying £85 for GTA:VC when you could goto SR (supplied website address) and pre-order it for £35."

He replied with the following.

"It's called jumping forward and asking questions later...

Thought it was a copy available now, I now realise it didn't mean that, and have stitched myself up accordingly....

Oh well, you only get through this life by learning lessons, pity it
involves me spending £80 of hard earned cash on something which I will get 1 DAY before the release date, which probably won't happen anyway.

Thank you for the concern, but it's too late now anyway..."

Opps, sorry it was £80 ;D

It's strange how you can list a pre-release game with the quote "get it a week before everyone else!", and people fall for it. Despite the fact that the auction clearly doesn't finish until a day or so beforer release, and even then the seller won't dispatch until he's been down the shops and bought a copy.

Someone always falls for it! maybe I'll start doing it...

Yeah I know there's people out there who will fall for it, but paying twice the amount for a game is ridiculous!

What amazed me was the number of people who had actually bid on the game to get it up there in the first place.....idiots the lot of 'em!

It is a lot like the women in the US who paid a stupid sum for a empty PS2 box at the time of launch.

Going back to the CMR3 topic, it is good to see us getting a game before the US as CMR3 has been pushed back to Feb 03 for the US.

Really? I never heard about this, how come? I can understand (partially) the delay say of VC to get over this side of the water but the games been out for a couple of weeks now so why the long delay getting it over to the states....not that I'm complaining!
