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?

    • I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake

      By dorf · Posted

      I tried to get the latest secureboot certificate for my old Dell 7010 Optiplex machine.   I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake.  Now when secure boot is on. The machine doesn't boot and complains about no booting devises.  The computer's secure boot can't find where to boot and the information apparently has to be entered manually.  Secureboot's settings are now years old and it can't find a new configuration.  What could be done here? There are plenty of files to choose from in the secureboot menu, but I don't know what to put there for each of the four Windows 11 upgraded from 10..... originally who knows what (used machine) without secureboot it booting normally

      They need to follow the standard for AAA game but they will go at lowest level for triple a game because will sell more, earn kudos and the milk it for years anyway. look how much they milked gta 5 and how they milked the original 3 - San Andreas and vice city. it is probably going to be a fun game but then they allowed someone to remake classics that somehow were more broken and worse then original i hope they don’t ###### up this one!!!
