Doom3 pre-order @ BB B&M $9.99 (NOT the game; bonus pack only)

[imaklone]

in this week's print ad. (It's 59.99 + free s/h online).

 

[Growltiger]

Nuts, $9.99 would have been SUPER hot

 

[SignalSoldier]

Ahhhhh no

Cold hard truth of it all

 

[imaklone]

Thanks for pointing that out, Soldier. The ad is misled me. The print ad in full says

'Doom 3. Get ready to meet your _Doom 3_. The next generation of DOOM is coming. Terrifying? Yes. Realistic? Yes. Just how you like it. Reserve your copy of Doom 3 and get ready for the most frightening, action-packed gaming ever. 9.99"

however, if you look carefully at the picture of the game box shown, it says "pre-order only . game not included". It says nothing about this being a bonus pack.

sigh. BB sucks :disgust:

If you really believed Doom 3 was gonna be $9.99, even for a second, then you're a gullible fool. $9.99 is the down payment to reserve the game, and you get a "bonus pack" for doing so.

I normally skip offers/threads like this, but this time, I just can't.

That has to be the WEAKEST bonus pack I've ever seen, heard of, or could even imagine. One poster, one figurine, a $10 coupon for "select" nVidia cards (and, if you're going to be playing Doom ]|[, aren't you going to want a card that'll run it at a reasonable framerate, without downsampled graphics? and for that matter, even if you DID look at from the viewpoint of spending $10 and getting a $10 vid card coupon, any card BB carries is 99% likely to be significantly cheaper at some place like Newegg, anyway!), and a lousy $5 off RTCW (a two (or is it three?) year old game that has less than 20 hours of SP play time, and the only selling point of the Platinum edition being that it's patched and includes ET (free download!)).

If it got any slimmer, it'd have to go to a bulemia clinic.

(edit) Not an attack on the OP, just wanted to clear that up before someone with an itchy Submit finger got excited. Definitely an attack on whoever thought up that pathetic bundle.

 

[kindest]

when is the game supposed to come out?

"When it's done"

Just waiting for someone to ask that question

Just wanted to point out to anyone who might be considering getting a next-gen nVidia board (which should be introduced mid-march) , that this article at theinquirer predicts that the nv40 & nv45 cards will be shipping with Doom3 vouchers.
