Official "I have Doom 3" thread.

BabyHeadCrab · Jul 31, 2004

Well since just like when it went gold, we will likely be spammed with hundreds of OMG DOOM 3 IS IN MY HANDS threads I thought maybe if they saw this first they could post here instead of makeing there own threads. If you have it early post in here for us to see isntead of makeing new threads. Please only post in here if you have the game and want to tell us about it, dont just fill it up with spam.

It would be nice if this thread was made ON august 3rd, though.

riTuaL · Jul 31, 2004

I just called my local EB (b/c I preordered there) and told them I heard some rumors of ppl having it today and was wondering if it was on the shelves yet. They told me Monday (Aug 2nd).

Why? Some people already have it.

BabyHeadCrab · Jul 31, 2004

Monday is the street date for my local stores, many people already have it as well.

I was just shopping with my father when we noticed EB had moved their Doom 3 boxes to the front of the store, and they had some competition to win a copy of Doom 3. This EB being the same I preorded from I asked about it forked out the remaining $50 and Tada I have Doom 3.

My schoolworks done so I'm gonna install it now.

Mr. Redundant · Jul 31, 2004

best buy list it as aug 2nd, and gamestop now say aug 4th.. grrrr

Yea wtf, I pre-ordered at EB too but they are prolly too afraid to lose their jobs to start giving it out to leetpants kids like me. As soon as I got off the phone with them they prolly went back into the backroom and un-paused...bastids..

lol, the chick at EB I talked to sounded like they had em.
I said: "hey hiya, do you guys have Doom3 for the PC in stock yet?"
she said: "Doom3? oh yeah..... *pause* oh I mean, no... the date on that is August 2nd"

blah
they have them... just not selling them.. its time to go mission impossible/splinter Cell on their asses.
*dum dum dum, dum dum!*

and the guy at gamespot was like:
"nope, release date is August fourth"
so I said: "then why do EB and www.ua-corp.com list it being august second?"
and he said: "I dont know, I work at gamestop, LOLS LOLS OWNED NOOB"
well actually he just said he had no clue.

im getting that from about everyone

riTuaL · Jul 31, 2004

Yeah for real. If they have them they should be able to sell them. Maybe id needs a few more days to get their lawyers ready for all the lawsuits because this game is gonna give me Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Roland Deschain · Jul 31, 2004

You think it's bad with games, try books. If a store releases a book too early, they can get their right revoked and they don't get their money back, that's why it's always better to preorder from a small private store, where they don't have to watch for the good of the cooperation, and that's true for both games and books.

EVIL · Jul 31, 2004

I like small game shops ...

Pressure · Jul 31, 2004

I just called the Best Buy where I preordered it and the dude said he didn't know when they were getting them in. He probably didn't even check but I'm going to be calling them everyday til they get it

YEAH, When I talk to any dealer at any gameshop they say "Sorry I have no clue"................They just so lame. :sniper:

omgsteve · Jul 31, 2004

Just got off the phone with gamestop, I was told the game would be released monday after 7pm, and that i should come in and reserve a copy because they would be releasing a limited amount.

Seppo · Jul 31, 2004

How about an official "I wish I had Doom 3 already" thread?

Letters · Jul 31, 2004

I won't even bother calling... they lie. :hmph:

Is it worth the gas and time to go check a couple Gamestops and Best Buy for myself? Dunno.

They prolly don't have it on store shelves but if you check with the counter they might say they have it in the back (stores don't want fined) If you pre-ordered it you have a better chance of getting it early.

qckbeam · Jul 31, 2004

I have called exactly 21 places. Every single one has told me that either A) it's coming out on the 4th or 5th or B) They do not have a release date for it. One answer in particular has me rolling around on the floor scratching my eyes out:

Oh yeah, we just got, like....*sounds of typing*...six copies of Doom3 in yesterday...*my hopes skyrocket*.....*more typing*........but they sold out *I cry*

Have you tried the smaller, independent game shops? There is an independent game shop by where I live. I may check them out later today.

Being in New York, there isn't many independent smaller businesses. If you are looking for PC games you can go to stores like Best Buy or to the gaming stores like Software Etc. (owned by Babbages/Gamestop), Gamestop, or EBGames.

There is actually one independent shop close by named "Wolf Games". However upon calling them I found that their number was out of service

DarkStar · Jul 31, 2004

I've got a question about Doom 3. Do you guys know, are there ever allies fighting along side you? Like other marines? That would be cool if there was.

MultiVaC · Jul 31, 2004

I think there will be. But they'll most likely all die at some point.
