The Challenge is foldable and doesn't take much space at all when folded, that's the main reason I'm looking at it, I don't have the space either for the normal playseat rigs. Hi Gareth, I have the foldable playseat takes up half the space of normal playseat and you can leave everything mounted.  , |

I’ve read a number of reviews and watched a lot of videos and I’m not willing to pay 55 quid for a game I already have, unless I get a copy from work then I’m fairly sure I won’t be able to continue in the league, which is a shame as I am enjoying racing with you boys. Cheers Dave Come on Dave, look at www.simplygames.com/p/f1-2019---anniversary-edition-xbox-one a tad cheaper at £41.85 but cheaper than £55.00 not sure it’s cheaper any where else.. I need you to keep coming in the game bud. Your my nearest rival lol.. hopefully you can keep coming with us.. Dave took the plunge and bought it while we were chatting last night after the race so your rivalry is still alive 😉 |

Just looked at the challenge, I can see what you mean. My only issue with that would be how study it is with FFB, I would like some guarantee that it wasn’t going to rip the steering wheel base off ...😂 . That’s like really small in footprint whereas mine is probably 3-4ft length and quite heavy to shift around with everything on it.. |

Yeah preorder in store. I'm hoping that it's just a logistics issue. I'm not able to find it in any store over here. I did leave it a little late to preorder but the store said that shouldn't be a problem. If it doesn't show up early next week I may have to look at other options. Yeah preorder in store.

If it doesn't show up early next week I may have to look at other options. Is it not cheaper for you to order online over there? Shop prices over here are pretty much always more than online and delivery timescales are just a day or two. My local store has it at £44.99 It is sometimes cheaper to order online. The big gaming store over here is EB Games. They have store locations as well as online sales. I preordered it from them (like i have in the past). Their list price online is $59.99 but they have no stock for any platform. On amazon.ca (CAN) there are only 3rd party sellers for this game, and they all ship from the UK and looks like it might not arrive until mid August. Price is $74.99 On amazon.com (US) there are some copies that would arrive earlier, maybe late next week depending on customs clearance. It would cost maybe $20 more. I could also download it (would prefer hard copy) directly onto my xbox but the price is $89.99 ($30 more than EB Games list price. Not sure what i'm going to do at the moment. |

What if you sent a UK person the money and they gifted you the game via xbox. not sure how works out money wise tho |

I would prefer a hard copy but if i can't acquire one in time I may just have to download it....but then it's $30 more. The big issue is i put money down on it when i preordered it....so I'd likely only get that money back in store credit, and i only really buy one game a year..... |

Is there anywhere else in Canada that would have it? do you not have games shops there apart from that one. |

Yeah, I'm currently looking around to see if any of the other shops got it....but no luck so far. Unfortunately F1 isn't as popular over here. |

So it seems like there was a supply issue with this release in Canada. One of the store owners I talked to today said it may have been something as simple as a missed 0. So for example instead of Canada being allocated 1000 copies it may have only been 100. Anyway, still no luck finding a hard copy at the retail price of $59.99 and I cant bring myself to buy a copy from another country atm so I'll just wait and see what happens. Someone else may need to host the Silverstone race.

That's a real pain. I hope somewhere manages to get it for you soon.

I plan to get the game sometime in the next week or so. However, I am moving in about a weeks time and don't know if I'll be set up to race by the British Grand Prix.

Guys is there a rush to use the new game for Silverstone? Has anyone tested the multiplayer for issues and stability yet?

Gents, some of my colleagues are running a 2019 race tonight, there’s only 6 or 7 plus me, so if you’re about it might be a good opportunity to test out the Multiplayer side of things. No idea which circuit yet but it’s normally 50% distance and Lights Out at 8PM UK time, I’ll be online so jump in the party if you want to do some race simulation.
Cheers
Dave

Not tested it yet, but i have checked the forum and have not seen too many people shouting about not being able to connect. Also it appears Dave has some guys doing a test tonight at 8pm so hopefully he'll let us know how that goes. |
