Well, I finally got in contact with my buddy. He said they've hit a little speed bump...but this are *close*. He said id is really going for stability and wants to roll out several versions of the game at once (languages, not platforms I take it). They're trying to make sure its stable as hell I guess. But, he's really busy so we didnt talk much....

I am glad they are taking there time, unlike some other game companies i could mention that rush products out the door and then take their time w/ patches.

Did you do the BIOS flash to a 9800XT?

Mine did and runs flawlessly @ XT speeds with OverDrive enabled and reasonable temps . . . almost a 10% perf improvement for 2 mins "work".

(16,600 in 3Dmark01 and 6400 in '03 . . . 'good enuff' for HL2/D3/FarCry/ThiefIII/DeuSexII/Painkiller, etc.)

Don't worry, (even) a 9700 will run Doom III just fine.

[Acanthus]

crap you beat me to it!!!!

doom3center.com is reporting it has gone gold as well with the same image as indication of proof...

Out of curiosity, do these preorders offer a DVD version, or are these just CD versions? Having the little statue would be cool, but not if I have to swap discs.

Also, anyone know of a site that lists which sites that offer preorders with unique statues? The BestBuy, Eb, and Gamestop all seem to have different statues with their preorders.

Gameplanet (NZ) has a Mancubus figurine and Tshirt, with PC CDROM distro.

I pre-ordered a few days ago with ebgame.com for my copy of Doom3 with overnight delivery. 2 day shipping was free but I figure it will be worth the extra $10 to have it before the masses do... I did this with Quake3 and I was online playing it with the developers when my copy came!

Can't wait... my system should run it well too, 3.4Ghz, 9800Pro, yeah baby!

I could care less which figurine comes with it... maybe I will ebay that to some nerd that wants to collect them all. lol

I'd like it if this were true, but I don't really think that image means the game has gone gold. I guess we'll see . . .

I hope that you're not too far back in the order string. You might not get it until a few weeks after. I speak from experience. GL though.

Is this the Mac version?

AFAIK they're CD versions unless otherwise stated i.e. UT2K4.

I hope not either but I only pre-ordered the Quake3 game a few days before it was set to ship and I got it as soon as anybody was able to. I think that when this game is finally shipped they will dump a LOAD of product on their distributors.

It wouldn't surprise me to know that they are stamping out the disks and loading the boxes for release now.

UPDATE!

Word from the bird says that the game is pressing as we speak. Can I confirm this? No. Is it a lie? Mayhaps. But I do have THIS for you to see

 

[Bucksnort]

Does that mean ID has finally realized its not good marketing to ship their high priced games in cardboard sleeves?

I'm liking that PC Gamer quote.
