I had the same problems with The Driver. After sending "Frank" explicit instructions on how to reproduce bugs, and telling him exactly what needed to be done with it, I got the disc back "There is nothing wrong with your disc" -- no shit, that's not what I sent it there for. The Driver is severely bugged, only one of which (the most cosmetic one) is going to be fixed on the upgrade which, wait for it: Will be announced in FRED and Format (neither of which I get), and will be available (read as "will be sold to you") soon... apparently, even though it's bugged beyond repair it's gaining many many fans... Also, for a company in Exeter, I agree, Gloucester is a long way to go to post your letters -- as the postmark from the reply I got told me. Notes: 1) Quote the law. You have consumer rights -- use them. If a product is faulty, you may take it back to your retailer to get a refund or a new, working copy. If something is sold in an unsaleable condition, these still apply: also, in these cases, the retailer foots the bill for any correspondance. Check me up on this, but I put a deadline of 28 days and explicit details saying I wasn't going to give them the pleasure of an SAE because of said consumer rights.. 2) Bob is stupid. Read Format letter pages for details. 3) We might well do ourselves a favour by boycotting him.
