Hey everyone, this guy is a liar. I live in Minneapolis, MN (which is about eight miles away from Brooklyn Center), and I just got off the phone with Best Buy. They do NOT have it available for sale. I said that one of their Geek Squad guys says he bought it, and they said no way. They will not offer it until Tuesday. What a liar.

LOL!

I just don't understand what people get out of lying about this? Do they gain respect? Admiration? I think not. Just doesn't make sense to me.

I checked at the Beaverton,Oregon BestBuy this morning and they were not selling it till Tuesday.

256MB, minus 64MB for his (shared) video leaves him with 192MB.

P4 2.4C ghz (oc to about 3.4ghz with koolance exos water cooling)
ATi 9500 N/P (oc to 400/389)
1024MB PC2700 RAM
3 160gb WD 8mb 7200RPM h/ds
Windows 2000 SP4
550W PS

don't know anything else i told him it would probably run at low to middle cause of his video card and i told him to atleast upgrade to a 9800 pro.

He'll be able to play it, but only at low to medium (most likely low 640x480) resolution with the texture quality set to low.

Upgrading to a 9800PRO would allow him to play at 1024x768 res. at medium (most likely) or high texture quality.

Check this out for more info.

Someone in the thread mentioned they worked at BB so I'd figure they'd know

NO

When I preordered NwN bestbuy took almost an extra week to give me my game, telling me that they sold all of the pre-orders even though I HAD A PRE ORDER.

When I preordered battlfield vietnam over the web they wouldnt give me my bonus CD

BB sux huge A$$

Did you call the Brooklyn Center BB? I was just at the my excellent compatriot Rapids BB and the young lass working in the video game section said she can't release Doom 3 until Tuesday.

This post is pure BS, LOCK it.

Upgrade the video card. I could be wrong, but you might even have trouble getting low quality.

My Best Buy has 150+ copies of the game in stock in a huge display (4 ft x 4ft). However they will get fined several thousand dollars if they sell any before Tuesday.

Yes, 64MB video card minimum. But your 7500 isn't 100% directx 9.0b compatible. I think it's only directx 8.
