IRCRomeo Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I call BS on you, sir. Sorry, but I'm right. I called five Best Buys, some not even in my state. They got a corporate e-mail to pull it from shelves.

episode Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Really, thats kind of strange. Read my previous posts. I'll take the word of sales managers in stores over "i called 5 best buys".

Laughing-Man Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I went to two Best Buys in my area and there were none on the shelves either. Oh well I will try again on Thursday.

AgEnTsMiTh Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Ive called all the Best Buys and EB Games around my location, and none of them have it on the shelf. The EB game stores I called told me they have not even got the shipment in. They said by monday they should have it.

ID might be onto something here. You're right. I'm buying the game, but I'm still interested to see how long it takes for people to get around every new method released. Even if this game is playable tomorrow, Id is still going to roll in the cash. Most people don't even know about bittorrent, let alone IRC or Usenet. Can't wait for it to be officially released ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/197042-doom-iii-is-out-there-w00t/page/32/#findComment-584274980 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you call my Best Buys and tell their store manager to sell it. I called my two local ones AT LEAST five times each today arguing they must sell it as it has no street date. I even know the manager personally and was told they cannot sell it, or they will get a $5,000 fine per game.

kak Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 If its a full DVD, it'll weigh in around 6 CDs then. They'll probably release both formats, I wouldn't see why not.

I even know the manager personally and was told they cannot sell it, or they will get a $5,000 fine per game. #1 The $5,000 per game is a line. Typical Best Buy bull****. The TAO that best buy corporate sent out said simply "make sure you hold back enough copies to cover the preorders". However, best buy has no system for tracking preorders, so most of the stores in turn pulled everything. You will still find a lot that didn't pull them though.

Laughing-Man Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I even know the manager personally and was told they cannot sell it, or they will get a $5,000 fine per game. I was thinking the same thing too because it would be unfair to other stores who are waiting for the actual release date. If Best Buy was selling Doom 3 early then that would be less business for other companies.
