You're right. I'm buying the game, but I'm still interested to see how long it takes for people to get around every new method released.

Even if this game is playable tomorrow, Id is still going to roll in the cash. Most people don't even know about bittorrent, let alone IRC or Usenet.

Can't wait for it to be officially released ;)

Really, thats kind of strange. Read my previous posts. I'll take the word of sales managers in stores over "i called 5 best buys".

Well you call my Best Buys and tell their store manager to sell it. I called my two local ones AT LEAST five times each today arguing they must sell it as it has no street date. I even know the manager personally and was told they cannot sell it, or they will get a $5,000 fine per game.

#1 The $5,000 per game is a line. Typical Best Buy bull****. The TAO that best buy corporate sent out said simply "make sure you hold back enough copies to cover the preorders".

However, best buy has no system for tracking preorders, so most of the stores in turn pulled everything. You will still find a lot that didn't pull them though.

I was thinking the same thing too because it would be unfair to other stores who are waiting for the actual release date. If Best Buy was selling Doom 3 early then that would be less business for other companies.

I'm in NE PA. I only have two BBs around me, and neither will budge. Any suggestion?

    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact.

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output!

      I'm not sure about that, but it at least "does" a version of 7.1 that this brand new card doesn't....

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By WaltC · Posted

      I can barely recall getting web results from a file search... I must've turned it off long ago. 26H2 is Insider's Preview build 26300.8697, which I am running, atm. It is not available for people running the standard commercial builds of Windows--only for the beta test Insider's group. But anyway, as mentioned in the thread, this feature has been around for a long time...
