    Not sure if it's @ Blockbuster yet or not, but it's out on DVD. It was actually running in Downtown DC at the Landmark E Street Theater so I went and saw it there. The DVD has a full commentary by Campbell as Elvis...great stuff. :)

    They usually release a linux server with these games...are you talking about the actual game? That'd be mighty hard since it's all DirectX.

    a linux version will be released soon. The binaries may be available the day the game hits store shelves, ID is usually very good at keeping the linux people happy.

    The game can use d3d or opengl so it will work on windows/unix. A mac port will also be available sometime in the fall.

    I'm only (half) kidding. I'll probably buy it. :) I would like to know how it's going to run on my machine before I plunk down $55 bucks for it, tho. I'll wait until the demo comes out (who knows when...Gamespot says 'after the game hits shelves').

    I actually ordered my latest machine with Doom III in mind: Pentium 4, 3.0 ghz, 120 gig HD, ATI 9600 w 256, 1 gig RAM.

    I think it should run !!

    Bought it at 7 PM last night at EB in Sterling ... they called and got permission to sell it sooner when Best Buy got the midnight slot. So been playing last evening, tried hard to get doom flu today but I have too much going on, I just can't justify it.

    So I'm sitting there playing last night, room dark, sound full blast when my husband walks in and says "sweetie, it's bedtime" and I JUMP OUT OF MY SEAT SCREAMING !!!

    It's scary allright. My god is it scary. And no, I'm not a wimp. :p But I'm making damn sure I got my flashlight mapped where I can reach it real easy.

    I second that. I picked up the game last night and played it for about an hour. The graphics are truly amazing. They really have done a good job sucking you into the moment. Some of the scripted events are down right freaky. Here's a tip, don't shine a flash light into a mirror (won't say which one). Now if only my PC could run it at high quality...

    On a side note, the Multiplayer is really not there. It's 4 person only in DM or TDM. I think there's only 5 maps avail as well. I could not find to many people online last night when I tried to play it. I must say though that there were no cuts made to the multiplayer. Everything is still there from the single player game. Pretty impressive. Just wish it was more people.

    ah Neil, your rig is already obsolete :(

    =) The only thing that would slow it down is the 9600... I've got one and it isn't that speedy.

    My 9600XT is pretty speedy in UT2K4, but that's nowhere near as texture/render heavy as Doom. :(
