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.

,Aug 1 2004, 00:25] Do you guys jsut not read the 60 pages of pure content that this thread has?

Belive me. It's not spam :rolleyes:

agreed, there are alot of screens and tech info for problems that arise (i had them) ( i think i solved them ) (we shall see)

I even know the manager personally and was told they cannot sell it, or they will get a $5,000 fine per game.

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 confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
