Arioch Posted August 3, 2004 Caryn Law at Activision wants to remind everyone that tonight at midnight certain Best Buys will officially start selling copies of Doom 3. There are only 8 locations in all, across the United States. Apparently if you happen to be anywhere near the Plano, Texas location, you will get a double treat tonight as not only will Doom 3 be there, so will some id software employees--though we have no idea which ones. In all cases Activision will be on hand to hand out prizes for early attendees, including a Doom 3 t-shirt.Monday, August 2: 10:30 p.m. — Fans line up for a chance to purchase DOOM 3. Prizes will be given away to the first 100 people in line. Tuesday, August 3: 12:01 a.m. — DOOM 3 for Windows on sale. The following Best Buy stores are participating in the midnight sales: California: - West Los Angeles - 11301 W. Pico Blvd. - West Hollywood - 7100 Santa Monica Blvd. Illinois: - Chicago - 1000 W. North Ave. Washington D.C. Area: - Sterling, VA - 45575 Dulles Eastern Plaza - White Marsh, MD - Nottingham Square Minnesota: - Richfield - 1000 West 78th St. New York: - Westbury - 1100 Old Country Rd. Texas: - Plano - 2800 N. Central Expressway So if you happen to live close enough to one of those and you can't be without Doom 3 any longer (and most likely will end up playing it into the early morning), then head over. 0 Share this post Link to post
Remilia Scarlet Posted August 3, 2004 fp! Yay, finally! Christian Antkow tried to get a copy of Doom3 and they wouldn't sell him one. Apparently they don't even have their copies yet. I also checked all the Gamestop stores within 200 miles of my zip (through their site), and it seems they're already all sold out. 0 Share this post Link to post
