DOOM 3 IS OUT NOW! EARLY RELEASE!!!

[Wingznut]

Just went to BB... They said they have yet to get any in stock.

I don't doubt him... The local BB never gets games until a few days after the release date.

Now if only the damn store would get in some X800's or 6800GT's ... anyone know when those are supposed to hit the shelves again? I don't wanna play this on my GeForce3, even tho' it'll still look beautiful (I spoil myself... I know).

Review of the first 10 mins:

Unfucking believable, I think I need to go take an aspirin because i might be having a heart attack from all the suspense and fear, and it blows far cry's graphics out of the water, ON MEDIUM!

high: shout out to a fellow blueshirt!

 

[snowdogg187]

heh, they are being sneaky with the quick release. Who cares though.

can someone with the game please email me a picture of your cd key so I know you aren't lying =)

My Best Buy has X800 Pros in stock.

really? I had a customer come in today asking for the 6800's and we didnt have any, just had them on order, but nothing on trucks for next week or so, also checked x800, didnt see anything there either. Darn, I want one! I might have to create a store stock transfer tommorow morning, heheheeeeeeeeee

 

[Anomander]

Hmm...maybe I can get out of camping this weekend with my gf and her friends...hmm...

 

[BeOmni]

DonVito? Really? On the BB website, it won't even allow me to check for instore availability. I went to the most local BB, and they didn't even have 9800 Pro's on the shelf.

Guess I'll have to do a little bit of calling tomorrow morning.

Edit: Finalnight -- do you remember the expected arrival date? I was kinda-sorta thinking of snagging a 9800Pro, then returning it for a 6800GT or X800Pro when they came in. Heheh.

45-60fps on this set up?

XP-M 2500 @ 2.5 w/Thermaltake Extreme 12
DFI LanParty NF2 Ultra
1024 OCZ PC3200 EL
9800NP w/VGA Silencer
120GB Maxtor / 80GB WD
22" NEC Multisync / Altec Lansing 5.1

That's pretty impressive. I was worried that my 9800 Pro wouldn't be able to handle it. Looks like I can hold off on upgrading for a while.

If you don't want to go, I'll go with them.

 

[Anomander]

Heh, me and 4 girls, out in the woods...think I prefer that to Doom 3, actually

But as soon as I get back, I'll be buying it!

 

[sumrtym]

Sorry, don't think you'll be playing Doom 3....on a computer, anyway. Sounds like you're going to be a ritual sacrifice to me. Four girls taking you into the woods? You'll understand when you see the black robes....

 

[Finalnight]

bring the laptop and when they get scared and snuggle up for comfort and protection...you get the idea

 

[Drizzy]

Dang I wonder if my preorder will come in early as well. that sucks knowing others are playing it before me!

 

[CtlAltl33t]

So is this for Best Buy employees only then?

 

[sharq]

Could this just be a publicity stunt? I mean about best buy employees posting everywhere they got a copy.

 

[SDOG34]

Hmm...4 girls in the woods huh?

Well, anyone who is bragging about that in a hot deals forum on the internet is either lying or spending the night with 4 persons who's gender is questionable. Please, for all out sakes, don't include photos.

YUP, a publicity stunt for a game that has absolutely NO publicity already, people are saying it may be the SLEEPER hit of the YEAR! lol.

Not about the game, but just to get ppl to go to bestbuy.

Nah, the people who are going to BB to get this game are leaving the store as fast as possible. So, I don't think it would really help their sales to get people in early for this one...they won't be buying anything else.

 

[jellysandwichx]

How many discs is it?

[PsYStuMmY]

i'm going to have to check this out in the morning when i go to work at best buy. i'll snag a copy for myself even though i don't have my all my parts for my computer. that amd employee purchase program was sweeet a deal =)

 

[SilentButDeadly]

Guys I know for a fact that this game has been released (well at some stores you can find them). I have already seen PLENTY of proof from a guy at www.hardforums.com. Also it comes with 3 discs. Man you guys have to check out the story about him getting the game. He got the game at Wal-Mart btw. He has posted tons of pics of the game already, and lots of proof that he has the game, so there you go. Now start calling all stores to see where you can get this game.

If I remember correctly I think it is in the Gaming section at the |H|ard

Question is do I get 1 GB or RAM or 2 GB ram.

I want to play 16x12 Ultra quality, but wouldn't 2 GB ram do more harm considering it drops the memory bandwidth considerably due to the 2T command rate?
