DOOM 3 IS OUT NOW! EARLY RELEASE!!!

[Finalnight]

Activision just gave my best buy authorization to break the embargo. IT IS ON THE SHELVES NOW! I am typing this with a COPY IN MY HAND! YMMV, GO GO GO!

 

[MangoTBG]

Wow

 

[metalmania]

Really? I just received the Bestbuy 10% off coupon, gonna try tomorrow.

 

[aggressor]

Anything to back that statement up? It's the internet, so easy to give false info

 

[Finalnight]

Lets see here, I bought it for 54.99+ 6.5% tax. Ineligible for employee discount since our computers are not reading the discount right. trying to sell it to us for 1.05 lol. I am a geek squad technician, I found out that our activision rep personally approved it. Otherwise, believe me or dont believe me, I dont care, because my shift is now over and I am GOING HOME TO PLAY DOOM 3 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Not providing pics is the cool thing to do. Honestly, who would claim they had Doom 3 and not provide a pic of the box in their sweaty little hands? I'm not saying I don't believe you, I'm just saying if it were me I'd post pics of the box, the game CD, and screens of the game running on my monitor.

BAN! (3rd thread now... where else..)

It isn't just Anandtech that people are claiming this on. It's popping up everywhere, mostly from known Best Buy employees.

I'm guessing it's very possible that it's out. It's just that this his 3rd thread on it, but I guess I should forgive him since this is the first one in HD.

lol... if it's all true, the guy's probably pretty darned excited. This is certainly an awaited release. Imagine if you were the first person at AT to have Doom 3.

 

[BigCheeZ2000]

need pics though if you want people to believe you

 

[INGlewood78]

Not available at BB in Tacoma, WA (nor is it available at Gamestop, CC, or CompUSA - they are close together so I hit them all!).

 

[jwkuipers]

I think this is for real. Here are some screens:

Darn,

My Athlon64 FX53 + nForce3 Ultra board + Corsair 3200XL + GF 6800 U should be in next week

If I had Doom 3 in my sweaty grubby little hands, I sure wouldn't be wasting my time taking pics and posting them!
