- I've heard the same story also. XOR has said they were going to get the game
- out before the end of September, sometime in October, at the end of November
- and before Christmas on different occasions to me. I'm not a believer in
- this date either. They'll have to SHOW it to me!
-
- XOR also has some notable business practices. They took my credit
- information at the end of the summer promising to charge me only when the
- game was actually shipping, but ended up charging me in September. When I
- protested to the woman on the phone she calmly explained that it was an
- "upper management" decision and that many people were upset. The only
- options that remained were to cancel or wait "a few weeks". I went for the
- bait then but I now have half a mind to cancel and buy Front Page Football
- instead! I'd have cancelled much sooner but for the fact that I loved NFL
- Challenge.
