I can only imagine what it'll be like to play Doom III deathmatch on the XBox network. /me gets aroused

[Sharessa]

Then there will be a second reason to buy an XBox...still not enough.

[Fredrik]

Well X-Box is a creation of the devil himself, perhaps the console or Billy himself stars as the ultimate end boss in the game? Maybe.

Noooooo! Not that devil system!!

It's not that bad really, is it? Console players should get some cookie too...

[netnomad312]

As long as it's released on PC too, I have no qualms...

*Resumes screaming*

[Vegeta]

I hope that they release it first on the Pc.

[Tai]

I have an XBOX! Yay, I will be able to play it, after all :).

[Vile]

It could have been worse.

[Tai's daddy]: No, the game is too expensive, Doom 3 is a no no for you[/Tai's daddy]

[Amaster]

Im pretty sure that it'll be on PC first. Plus the X-Box port will probably blow.
Note: These statements are completely baseless

does anyone know if id is going to sit on doom3 till it comes out on xbox?

i remember hearing something a while back about Microsoft offering ID a "truckload" of cash to sit on doom3 till it came out for xbox.

i really hope they dont do that to us all.

I really doubt they will, because doing the conversion would take some time (the game's late already), and besides, they're probably getting offered cash from the graphics card manufacturers as well... ;)

He wouldn't buy nme the Doom3 PC version because he might think it will crash the computer.

[sponge]

More of a reason to get an XBox, if the hackability of it wasn't enough already.
