Scabbed Angel Posted July 24, 2004 Considering that the release of Doom 3 is coming near, how many of you will be honest, give id their rightful $$ and purchase the game? Who of you are going to be cheap, filthy, thieving bastards and pirate it? I already have my preorder copy, 'Nuff said. 0 Share this post Link to post
Mogul Posted July 24, 2004 They will have piracy countermeasures in place, I'm sure. I likely couldn't play it online with a pirated version -- of course I'll buy the legitimate version! :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Spike Posted July 24, 2004 I haven't pre-ordered - i ain't got the cash. However, i shall be taking next months salary down to HMV to purchase a well-rewarded copy of teh aforementioned game. Wooty! 0 Share this post Link to post
Goat Posted July 25, 2004 i preordered it. this game is worthy of my purchase. 0 Share this post Link to post
TwiNCannoN Posted July 25, 2004 Probably going to buy a couple copies, unless for some odd reason a cd key isn't needed for online play. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zoost Posted July 25, 2004 They will get my money. I'll buy anything. And everything. 0 Share this post Link to post
Mogul Posted July 25, 2004 I'm sure not only will a cd key be required, but I read a few months ago that they were implementing a "battle.net-style" interface that also featured some IRC style features. That was probably in February when I read that. This could include a login -- something I would like to see in DOOM 3. 0 Share this post Link to post
destx Posted July 25, 2004 I pre-ordered, because I've been waiting since day one. The T-Shirt and Mancubus figure helped, too. And it was a reasonably good deal. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ricki Posted July 25, 2004 I'm going to buy it on the day it comes out. Might get 2 copies so that my bros can play online too with the other PC. 0 Share this post Link to post
Spudz Posted July 25, 2004 already preordered...my little inch and a half pewter baron of hell is the only thing that keeps me warm at night 0 Share this post Link to post
Zygar Posted July 25, 2004 I've preordered it and I'm getting it before alot of the other people here in NZ. gpstore.co.nz always has games a few days before retail stores like EB has them. My friend got UT2004 from them a week before I got my preordered copy. 0 Share this post Link to post
AirRaid Posted July 25, 2004 I'm preordering it monday or tuesday. I probably would download it if I could get it before the shelf date, but I would still pay for it. Some things you just gotta have. ths isn't likely though as I've heard rumours in 'the scene' that groups are refusing to release the game online until after the shelf date. Which is great if you ask me. Only rumours though. 0 Share this post Link to post
Holering Posted July 25, 2004 Preordered it already (twice). EB Games (Electronics Boutique) and Best Buy. I lost the reciept that I had with best buy and I was real pissed off (especially cause it was a Christmas gift from my Brother. Dammit...) so I wen't and preordered at EB (they'll probly get it before Best Buy but who knows). At least I got the Mancubus and the Pinky... 0 Share this post Link to post
uniQ Posted July 25, 2004 I preordered my copy on 10/26/02. quite a long while ago :) I would even buy an additional d3 deluxe edition. another 8 + x days to go...hope my new pc parts will arrive this week so I can get my machine newly built up - new XP, defragmented HDDs, newest drivers, etc. For d3 I even took 3 weeks of vacation from next thursday on - no joke! :) waaahhhhhh...I really can't stand the wait anymore... 0 Share this post Link to post
Relica Religia Posted July 25, 2004 I'm going to be first in line at the store the morning it ships. I can't wait. Too bad the prices may vary up where I'll get it. Hope it's not too much. 0 Share this post Link to post
k00k Posted July 25, 2004 I've preordered it from EB already. But if I can get it online before ship date, sorry to upset you all, but I'll be downloading it... cheers k00k 0 Share this post Link to post
Disorder Posted July 25, 2004 I have a coupon left that will give me a 30% discount, so yes I'll buy it :) I want the booklet, the case, the whole thing. 0 Share this post Link to post

Amaster Posted July 25, 2004 Some things you just have to pay for. I'd kinda feel bad ripping it off. However, if for some crazy reason it becomes available online before I can buy it in a store, I'll undoubtedly pirate it until i can buy a legit copy. 0 Share this post Link to post
Mogul Posted July 25, 2004 Well, yeah, I think that's the general concensus. I remember, something similar to that happened with Jedi Knight II. There was a copy on the internet like, two or three days before shelf date. At that time, I didn't have broadband, but had I... 0 Share this post Link to post
DoomUK Posted July 25, 2004 Pre-ordered for August 13th (yup, should get it by the 14th). I've also took a few days off work, to get some serious play in :). Now if that 6800 GT would just come in time *fingers crossed*... 0 Share this post Link to post
dsm Posted July 25, 2004 I'll definitely buy it. I wouldn't wanna miss out on the awesome experience of deja vu when I hold the box in my hands. 0 Share this post Link to post
dsm Posted July 25, 2004 By knowing that the box in your hands contains the game you've been waiting for for 4 years - that sensation is far more powerful than if you're just downloading a bunch of files from the net. 0 Share this post Link to post
