Where to order CM4 from?

[GoldenEagle]

I finally have enough money to buy CM4, but my question is, where do I order it from?

Id like the game within a week of my order.

Suggestions?

I ordered mine from Special Reserve on a Saturday, and got it on Thursday.

www.specialreserve.com

gogamer.com might be the cheapest place to order it. Not sure how their stock is running currently. I think initially some people had delays because gogamer.com ran out.

do not order from gameplay.com.

I second the advice to avoid Gameplay. From the overall impressions people gave when CM$ came out, I would order from gogamer.com if I had it to do over again.

Go ahead... all chops are on the table. Let's see who comes out alive !

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. -- Joe Gibbs Racing has announced it will field a third NASCAR Winston Cup car for both the Daytona and Talladega races this season. Piloting the No. 80 Chevrolet Monte Carlo will be 2002 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion Mike Bliss.



Mike Bliss

Sponsorship for the team will be coming from one of Joe Gibbs Racing's major associate sponsors. GlaxoSmithKline, the maker of Advair Diskus (fluticasone propionate and salmeterol inhalation powder), a leading asthma maintenance product, will be the primary sponsor of the No. 80 car.

Earlier this year, GSK and Joe Gibbs Racing announced a joint asthma education initiative, Racing Against Asthma, designed to help raise awareness of Advair and help bring information about asthma and effective asthma management to the public.

As part of the education initiative, fans attending the Daytona and Talladega races will have the opportunity to visit the Racing Against Asthma trackside education center, which offers free lung function testing and interactive displays that provide fans with an engaging way to learn more about asthma.

In his first season with Joe Gibbs Racing, Bliss, the driver of the Rockwell Automation Chevrolet in the NASCAR Busch Series sits in seventh-place in the current point standings.

With 30 NASCAR Winston Cup career starts under his belt, Bliss is no stranger to the big leagues of NASCAR, but admits this opportunity is the best he has ever had in his career and something he is very excited about.

"It's a great opportunity for me and I hope I can contribute to this whole effort," said an elated Bliss. "I have always said in the past that I never wanted to go back to Cup unless the opportunity was right or it was with a capable team, so it's easy to see why I'm excited. I am looking forward to working with Jimmy Makar and everyone at Joe Gibbs Racing to make this project successful."

In light of the current environment within the Winston Cup garage and the level of competition on the track, the team felt as though the time was right to add a third car to an already successful program.

It will be a big undertaking with a lot of extra man-hours for all involved, but the thought behind the program is that the benefits will far outweigh any negatives. It will also allow the entire Joe Gibbs Racing operation to gain extra information that would otherwise be unattainable without the addition of the third car at these particular events.

"With as tough as the competition has become in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series, we felt the timing was right to add a car for a couple of races to benefit our overall race program," said J.D. Gibbs, President of Joe Gibbs Racing. "We owe it to all of our sponsors to make sure we are as competitive as possible every week on the track.

"Adding this car at Daytona and Talladega will allow us to continue to do that. We are every excited that Advair Diskus has agreed to be the primary sponsor for this special initiative. Our relationship with Advair Diskus has been great for Bobby Labonte and the 18 team this year and we look forward to having them play a bigger role in the sponsorship of that team next year."

Heading up the program will be veteran crew chief and Joe Gibbs Racing's first employee, Jimmy Makar. After serving as crew chief of the Gibbs owned No. 18 Interstate Batteries Chevrolet for 11 seasons, Makar made the move up to Team Manager at the conclusion of the 2002 season to help manage the continually growing race operations.

With 13 years experience and considered by his peers as one of the best ever, Makar is excited at the opportunity to get back to the track and call the shots again.

"This is something we have been discussing for quite some time and I am excited to be able to be a part of it," admitted Makar. "Looking at what's going on in the garage area today, we felt like the time was perfect to give this a try.

"This will also be a great opportunity for Mike. I have great confidence that he will do a good job for us and it will enable us to gather a lot of information we have otherwise not been able to obtain. It will also give us a chance to try some things we wouldn't normally try."

You haven't bought it yet? :eek: :D

Seriously though, go with Special Reserve. Usually takes, at most, a week to get there. And the one time I didn't order from them (Gameplay), it took twice as long.

Hehe. This thread is very old ice. I have had CM4 for about a month.

[Hurst2112]

Whats up with these copies on ebay that are being sold for pretty cheap. The instructions are in an asian language but the game is in english?

Are these legit? I see tons of them on ebay for a pretty reasonable price, but without a hardcopy of the manual, does it make it worth it.

Dola

I think these are pirated copies, but I'm not positive on that.

[illinifan999]

I remember reading a post on SI forums from a guy asking if the patch will work on his pirated version of the game cause his friend said it wouldn't. Priceless.

[GoldenEagle]

I got it from a friend who cancelled his order from one company, but they still sent him the game, so he got two copies. I cant believe the comapny sent him a copy.

Illini, that is priceless.

[Happy29]

Oh Yeah Yeah GoldenEagle.... Tell me More ! How about that controversial members thing now huh ?

[Happy29]
