Guys, there is no rumor. I've talked to every manager of every major game store in the NE. EB, GS, and BB acknowledge that D3 has no street date, but for some reason BB won't sell it. My GS will sell it ASAP on Monday, and EB won't get them in stock until Tuesday morning. This, of course, is for my area.

And your area is?

i can see them holding it back till all stores get it on a "your store in bla bla has it and is selling it, why dont you bla bla bla " causing more headache.

also if i were a compeditor, id go to their store buy them out of stock, then sell them in my store, they would be purchased from best buy, but Early Bird Cash only in mine, lol, and id advertise it. lol

lol, your idea is sensless unless you sell them for a profit, but then its unlikely many people will buy them.

Uhm, that doesn't make sense as a competitor ... Best Buy would still be selling everything, they can care less what you do with it afterward.

but if there was a fine for selling it early, they would get busted, i wouldnt, there is where i was going with that, sorry for not clearin git up, it was kind of vauge

There is no fine for selling any product early. Never has been, never will be. The only sanctions a company might see are from the companies that are distributing the game/movie/music. What they do in that case is make sure the store in question doesn't get stuff in early for a while.

The game is way to dark. The graphics and models look very detailed but I think due to their desire to bring fear and atmosphere to the game they over did it. I mean come on, who wants to run the whole game with a flashlight.

this is by far the greatest mini-review of any game, ever.

a close second is my friend's brother who complained how burnout 2 didn't allow for people to get out of the car. cheer cheer!

I'm interested, what did it say about "fines"?

about the store itself would get fined anywhere form 500-1000 per unit and put the company in jepardy of beign able to sale the lables movies.

it was a bunch of crap,but cuse the DM was a dick and would prolly fire us ont eh spot we didnt.

yeah I've never heard of it actually happening. usually its just a scare tactic by a companies corporate office. ive worked more retail than i care to mention and ive bought tons of stuff personally weeks before street date and nothing has ever come of it. and this is usually using employee discount weeks before the game came out. if i was still with best buy id have bought probably 5 copies of doom 3 already

I went to my local best buy in the Bay Area and they didnt even have any pre-order boxes, they said they won't get it until the 3rd or the 4th.

I didnt push the sales guy on it, but I would bet that they will recieve the shipment monday if they didnt get it already.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By ShadeOfBlue · Posted

      There is a default resolution setting in Settings > Display that can be changed with a click. You can also change the settings on a per-game basis. No CLI needed. Also, Steam has countless games that are not "[perpetual] alpha/beta games", so no need for the straw man. Plus you can use other stores as well. And console games (e.g. PS5) cost a fortune, which itself more than negates the price subsidy on the system, unless you plan on exclusively playing 1 or 2 games. It's true that you shouldn't buy a system that doesn't support the game(s) you want to play, but I think that's kinda obvious, and applies to every console as well as PC. I don't game in the living room and have no need of a Steam Machine, but there is a clear market segment that would find it useful.

RSS Guard 5.2.0 changelog: Added: Feed auto-fetch can now also be delayed while Feral GameMode is active on Linux and startup auto-fetch is skipped when GameMode is already active. (#2265) WebEngine builds can now use RSS Guard generated proxy auto-config (PAC) rules so article/web browsing follows per-account and per-feed proxy settings more closely. (#2273) Generated PAC rules now also cover related subdomains and use Public Suffix List data, so feeds such as feeds.bbc.co.uk can also proxy resources from images.bbc.co.uk. (#2273) Standard feeds can now define extra proxy domains, useful when article images, stylesheets or other page resources are loaded from a CDN or another domain that should use the same feed proxy. (#2273) RSS Guard now asks for proxy credentials when a WebEngine page needs proxy authentication and can fill credentials from the current feed proxy when available. (#2273) Network settings again include an option to ignore all cookies, which clears stored cookies and prevents new cookies from being accepted. Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now individually ignore cookies while downloading feed data. Stored cookies can now be deleted from the Tools menu. Custom skin colors can now override the feed list article count color separately from feed titles, including a separate highlighted color. (#2275) Settings dialog can now search across available settings and highlight matching controls. (#1754) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now optionally be reported as broken when they are valid but contain no articles. (#2039) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now override the application-wide feed connection timeout per feed. (#1023) Tray icon can now use a custom background color and unread-count text color, with an option to reuse the generated icon as the application icon. (#1973) Support for more benevolent parsing of Gemlog entries (#2295). Article list can now show when an article was received by RSS Guard. (#947) Feed deep discovery now actually scrapes all links found in the website and checks if they are feeds or not. This greatly enhances usability of the deep discovery mode and discovers many more feeds than before. (#2306) Search boxes now show a small dot when the feed or article list is hiding some items because of active filtering. (#873) Articles now have a shortcut-assignable action to open the homepage of the feed they belong to. (#2060) Fixed: Parallel feed updates no longer crash when multiple update results are processed at the same time. (64cf521) Links in WebEngine articles opened from feeds such as Kill the Newsletter now open correctly instead of being swallowed by the embedded page. (#2272) Relative article URLs resolution was kinda broken. (#2282) Clicking article URL did not work when the URL had "fragment" set. (#2293) The default proxy setting now uses Qt/system default proxy behavior instead of forcing no proxy. (e0263ad) WebEngine article loading now keeps the current feed context, so feed-specific proxy credentials remain available while the article page loads.
