Niether do most. I have now played a demo game thanks FASA. The
problem with SR3 currently according to Randal Bills at Gencon UK is
the first printing has sold out in the states already, they are rush
printing a second lot but he said they had trouble finding a couple
of copies at FASA to bring to the UK! Currently the best estimate i
have is a couple of weeks before we get it (and the UK was supposed
to get it at the same time as the states). As to the rest i recon its
comming just hope the US doesn't buy up 90% of the next printing.

From what bit i've seen things look fine, riggers 2 and VR2 are still
valid. The new initiative is better and workable and not too slow.
The new spellcasting looks ok on what bits i've seen and manaballing
mundanes is still most fun. It does look very nice though there are
going to be a lot of meta in games i expect!!!
