    I want to get a copy of Carmageddon 3: TDR2000 but I've been scouring well-known UK sites that I know are reputable and none of them have a copy!

    Does anyone know of a few decent online shops that sell this game? My last resort is to buy it from SCI but I'm not sure I trust their online store and IE won't load popups so it's not working properly :grr:

    It's a great game, but I got it via "another" method quite easily as I couldn't find it in the shops.

    Yes, my friend whose name begins with a K, has 5 letters, and contains the letter A three times. He's a good mate, quite reliable, but he can be annoying when you want to get rid of him and he leaves all his stuff all over your house. He does have a brother though who is far more tidy, but is just as good for borrowing games from.

    I think I'll have to order directly from SCI's online shop. Thing is, IE6 won't open new windows :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: (bug ridden pile of ****). I can't use Adam's method because I'm on 56K..

    Oh well. I'll try..

    EDIT: Oh yeah! I forgot - I have AOL 6's built in browser... lets hope it can cope (usually it disables my mouse cursor if it's under pressure)

    EDIT2: How cool! AOL took it in it's stride... there is light at the end of the tunnel. I hope SCI send the copy 'cos my mum will KILL me if they charge her credit card and nothing arrives

    Thanks chrix, but the URL doesn't work - if you meant www.game.uk.com - I've checked, they only stock the TDR2000 nose bleed add on pack, which, funnily enough is bundled free with the game if I order it from SCI's online store. Oh well, Llyoyds TSB is pretty big so my mum should be protected from online fraud...

    BTW - In my town centre, we have a game and an EB - EB was replaced by another game- has game bought eb? oh no my loyalty card is no use :cries:

    yep, I think game might've bought EB, ours was replaced by a game too... you can still use your EB loyalty card tho, they had signs up in ours saying they would still accept them :)

    EB and Game are the same company (I think EB bought Game originally ;)). EB are simply removing the EB brand from the UK, and are obviously using the Game brand instead as they had more Game stores than EB ones in the UK so it was cheaper to convert EB stores.

    There still using the EB brand in Yank and Canada tho. ;)
