Gibbs444 1 Posted July 10 I am not a gamer just like racing games. So maybe I am a fool for posting this but I thought no problem get up go to gamestop and get a copy. I go any like I had in the past and the guy says they dont have any copies only if I pre-ordered. I live in a big city so I get online and Gamestop doesnt have any copies anywhere and it will take a week to have one delivered. How can Gamestop not be selling hard copies? Is this more a codemaster problem? This digital release **** is such a scam for the consumer. The developer pays less to have it distributed and we dont get to resell the game back.

I can assure this isn't a Codemasters problem, as we have our approved distribution channels and the quantities they are receiving. It would just be a case of first-come, first serve. Maybe your area has a higher demand than expected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbs444 1 Posted July 10 Thanks for the reply, downloading it now, cant wait to play, just wish if I know I was going to get a digital copy I would of started earlier instead of waiting for gamestop to open. As a side not, I was at Gamestop as they opened the doors and when I go to their website there is no option to pick it up anywhere that I see. Only available to order to the house and arrives between July 15-17. On Amazon you cant get the PS4 version until June 27. Checked Bestbuy within a 125 miles that included 26 stores none in stock earliest I could pick up was July 16. If I was into conspiracys I would say you maybe pushing us into digital copies. So something is screwy, if you ask me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it costs more then the physical copy to boot. Never understood that when digital doesn't have any manufacturing or packaging to add to the price.

DarkRyderShane 2 Posted July 10 The only reason digital sales aren't cheaper is because they are trying to support both selling methods, games that are only digital do end up cheaper overall, its trying to balance it imo discs should be gone this gen but even next gen still holding on to a dying breed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
