I know they used to let you return or PM within 10 days after your purchase even if you opened the game.

Pricematch + gamers giftcard = $41.30 out the door.

IF you can find a BB that doesn't call over to CC to verify that Doom 3 is in stock. No Doom 3 at CC for me today. Whats worse, I went to BB to try to get the pricematch and they called CC to verify it was in stock. No go for me getting Doom 3 at that price with the gamers gift card.

I think the hot deal right now is $41.30 out the door at BB with the gamers gift card. However, getting that price is a big YMMV until CC gets Doom 3.

anyone recommend this game if you didnt enjoy

doom, doom II, quake etc., UT

only FPS i really enjoyed was Jedi Knight, metroid prime (not really an fps tho) and COD to some extent

Here is a tip... Never install the software on a SUNDAY at 12AM... I almost spent 4 hours playing with it. Getting up at 7:30 was a major issue!

It's nice... But, sadly NOT as nice as far cry. I admit I am a farcry junkie, the waves on the beach and all the fun running around in the jungle is just a lot more eye candy then DOOM.

I dunno, I got a really nice bright LCD... And everything looked dark, I hate to try to play it in daytime. Tho, the candles (worship) and the dude on suspended from the ceiling with his guts hanging out is a nice eerie feeling!

You can tell this was designed for the kids in mind as you don't hear anyone running around saying I'm gonna kick your ass MOFO!!!

Other then that, the game is so dark (yes I cranked up the brightness)... You have to run around with a flashlight and the effects are pretty good. You can?t turn on a flashlight and hold a gun at the same time? Last thing I want to do is listen to a bunch of logs? It?s already boring enough? Ouch, did I just say that? I dunno, something about the game... Almost like you are in one of those hay mazes just trying to find your way out. Not much a plot line. No one really says anything except hurry up. Or if you try to talk to anyone they are all just busy. I'll have more time to play it next week. Hoping it gets better...

I can tell you this, I hear of alot of people having all kinds of problems. If you system isn't at least 1 Gig of ram, 3Ghz, and the latest x800 pro/6800GT vid card your gonna be sadly lagging as this will tax your hardware.

My recomendation = "BUY"

WHAT are you talking about? Granted I haven't played the game extensively but from what I read from HardOCP's hardware guide to Doom III, it scales very well from low-end to high end. Of course the person with the Geforce 4 won't be able to run at ultra high, but any idiot knows that.

I was able to do the exact same thing.

Dunno what the rush is to get the game. CC looks like has the best deal if no BB around to PM CC with.

I will wait for the demo, and see how it performs on my system before getting it.

Then again, I could wait for it to hit the bargin bins! lol

Buy another copy using the gamers giftcard and PM to CC. Don't open box. Then return new box with receipt from 1st purchase. This is assuming of course that you purchased the 1st game originally from BB and that your time is worth the few $ savings.

Umm, what's wrong with getting the game from BB and coming back later when circuit city sells it to pricematch it(besides two trips). And on another note, I just heard from a friend that alot of Best Buy's are selling it already. Is that true?

Yes it was true..a good freind in PA bought it a day early :frown:

Anyone know if any CCs are selling this now?

Circuit City
Chesterfield Commons Store #532

Chesterfield, MO 63005

This Circuit City has it in stock and is selling it. I know, because I just bought one.

I was on a 30 minute lunch break, so I just bought from Circuit City, instead of waiting in line and all that at Best Buy.
