yep, larger market in the USA

Larger than Europe?

TDU is cheaper than most other 360 games in the US as well. It is nothing to do with the US having a larger market or all US 360 games would be the same price as TDU, no?

Its because they have a lower interest in Car games i thought, most sell much better in Europe then the states - so it was to entise them, i thought anyway

i'll put it this way then,

according to the Atari CEO apparently the US market is more advanced in Europe which roughly translated means that Americans will not pay over the odds for a game no matter how much they want it while the Europeans will.

Yay told you they are good.

Edit: Actually it was £33.99 as you got first order discount.

Anyone have their McLaren F1 code from Game yet? Today is the official release day and we're supposed to be getting the code today.

Nothing here, yet.

I think we've been skanked by GAME

A mate of mine got his lambo code from play, but so far I've yet to see anyone get one from GAME.

Going to email customer services I guess and find out what the score is.

Yas786 · 8 Sep 2006 at 13:06

Well just had a call from home and it looks like TDU, Madden 07 and Dead Rising have all arrived at my house

\o/.

Think its time i called it a day in the office and hurry up home to play TDU and hopefully the other 2 but i have a feeling that i wont get much of a chance to play the other 2 as TDU is the one ive been waiting for a long time now.
