Have You Preordered Doom 3?

<div class="IPBDescription">And if so, from where?</div> Even though I already pre-ordered DOOM 3 myself, I'm still wondering if there was a better deal than what I've gotten out there. I got a 54.99 DOOM 3 with free 2 day air shipping(bud sadly, no pinky the demon pewter figure) from <a href='http://www.ebgames.com/' target='_blank'>EBGames</a>.

What about you? Along these lines, what is the thing that you are anticipating most out of this shooter? For me, its going to be the editor- according to PCGamer, its stunningly easy to manipulate, so even more scares from yours truly will be coming after the game ships.

    Nah. I'll wait a few months and try to pick up a used copy. (Probably from somebody whose PC can't run the game.)

    It's too scary a game for me. I don't think I'll get it unless some amazing mod or 3 comes out.

    1) How much is that in US $$$?
    2) Do they ship international?

    I'm just going next thursday to a walmart and hoping they have copies left. (My area is a technology wasteland so hopefully nobody will buy it)

    I have a Doom 3 preorder box.
    From Best Buy.
  • lolfighterlolfighter Snark, Dire Join Date: 2003-04-20 Member: 15693Members
    I'll probably just notice it on a shelf somewhere in a few motnhs and say "Oh that's right, Doom 3 shipped a while back".

    I got one without pre-ordering it - we had about 8000 extra when I still worked at GameStop. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> Good thing, I never ordered it, too...

    It's out Thursday here in England, so I think I'll just pop down on the morning rather than pre-ordering.

    Same place as Venmoch for me <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    I phoned my order in a few days ago and
    i'll recieve it on the morning of release.
    (Where i'll be sitting in my hallway playing
    on my GBA or reading a Chris Ryan book
    waiting to ambush the Postman :-P )

    I ordered my Max Payne 2 from GamePlay
    a week before it was due to hit the shelves
    and got it a day early. Which is usually great
    but I was rather ill at the time and had to lie in
    bed looking through the manual until I felt well
    enough to install it and eventually play it.



    I've just remembered that the UK Post
    (Royal Mail) is awful and we now only
    get one posting per day. (We used to get a
    morning and midday post.) But now its
    at random times during the day. Terrible service.

    Still, GamePlay's price is a fair bit cheaper than
    going into town.

    Sure they do, they carry any game. Silly you, thinking Walmart wouldn't want to make a profit <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Never really been fond of the DOOM series, so I won't be getting it. (my system would probably choke and die trying to run it anyway)
