damn it motherboard aswell!Kulgan wrote:This is a bit of a catch up forum post, given Baron's already posted, but...
KWe're happy to announce that in addition to their usual kind provision of switches for the LAN, Intel will be donating a 3+GHz HyperThreading Pentium 4 Processor and motherboard as the top prize for our Doom 3 competition.
This is an excellent prize, and we're certainly looking forward to the tournament!
Thanks for saying that, I'd have been less polite.eclipse wrote:omg yes, calm down. I know you really want to win that motherboard and CPU, but you can't get any practice in, the odds are against you... heavily. Might be a good idea to change your expectations
I should hope they don't take returns for PC games. Do you really think it's fair to return a game after you have installed it and stolen the CD key? That's real fair to the next guy who buys that copy and finds his CD key is already in use when he tries to play online. Downloading is one thing, but stealing somebody's CD key is really low.dogmeat wrote:You know you'll probably end up playing Doom3 anyway.

You wrongly assume I'm the sort of bastard who'd steal a CD key. The Game 10 day returns policy was a handy safety net when it came to PC games, if the game was shit it went back. Now I don't have the chance to do that.GlimmerMan wrote:I should hope they don't take returns for PC games.

There is this little thing called the internet, aka try before you buy*. You're still talking shite though, don't deny it - saying you'd 10-day it implies that you were just going to install it and take it back before you knew if you liked it or not**. Regardsless if you liked it or not, you still played it, pay for it***. Do you go scrounging for a refund at the Cinema / Blockbusters if you see a bad movie?dogmeat wrote:You wrongly assume I'm the sort of bastard who'd steal a CD key.

So now the only option I have is to buy the game and possibly hate it? No wonder people are downloading the game in droves.
Oh, and fuck you for assuming.

Well to be fair, it is really. Otherwise they'd weigh it down with all kinds of annoying clauses and tell you it has to be still shrink wrapped etc... instead of giving the no-questions-asked schpiel. Besides, as long as you bring it back in perfect condition and not covered in jam, what difference does it make if its actually been played or not to Game or to the next customer?It's not a free 10-day rental service.
Perhaps you could read some reviews and see if you like the sound of the game. If you were a patient kind of person (though it would appear not to be the case) you could try a demo on a coverdisk or off the net.dogmeat wrote:You know

Again, Doom3, they'd not be able to take it back!GlimmerMan wrote:
It's for people who buy their Grandkids a PS2 game when they have an XBox, for people who get the same game as a present from two different people, for people who get given Doom 3 and only have a P90 etc.
i.e. For people for whom the game (or hardware) won't work, for gifts gone wrong etc. It's not a free 10-day rental service.
