Well, if 'time is money', guess it might be worth 5 pounds to have everything on a cd and not have to rely upon TT's servers to get the downloads. Only thing I can think of.

Well they say there is no actual camera data, only where "you can download it for free".
But I certainly recognise most of the splashscreens, and I wonder where the voice files are from? Evil or Very Mad

We've been in contact with this seller before. I'm seeking clarification on the source of the POIs but they do not supply any camera data. The voice files are supplied with the permission of the author, in this case Andy Siddell.

But I do have serious misgivings about these CD's. They are not supplying a service but are instead cashing in on people being unaware that this data is available for free on web-sites such as ours.

I know somebody who makes a reasonable return from selling on ebay. She says some people will buy anything and this proves it.

GO900? GO310? GO320?. I suppose I shouldn't scoff. After all, if I hadn't joined this website I'd be as thick as all the people who'll buy this!
