Alright guys..

Doom3 is hitting most stores around August 3rd (2nd if you pre-ordered like me). I want to hear how this games runs on various configurations of Alienware Laptops/PC's. If you can include screenshots of your fragging madness it would also be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.. I hope you are all as excited about Doom3 as I am.

You bet I will. It will be interesting to hear how different lappie setups will perform. I'm shooting for 800x600 medium setting gaming goodness. I'm not too picky.

For some reason EB's release is August 4th even though I pre-ordered. Confirmed it with the manager and he told me the date is set in stone unless someone hijacks the Fed-Ex truck.

I'm so excited that I'm taking an off day. Work can kiss my

Gamestop rocks!

My local gamestop said they are getting the shipments in the 2nd and if something goes wrong the 3rd at the latest. To bad my laptop wont be in till next week or I would be the first one to give a review on it .

I will be picking it up from Best Buy. If it gets sold out, then i will have to wait and play Far Cry (haven't played it yet).

You'll like Far Cry (I'm playing it now). Thought I could wait for Doom 3 but couldn't hold out to the FPS gods.

The EB in NY told me the 4th as their official release date. Wonder why they're a day or two late?

'Cause Bloomberg wants to play it first. He's delaying all the NYC sales for a couple of days.

So how is it going?

I bought my copy of Doom3 today but my area51m doesnt get here until Friday so I still got 3 days of staring at the box. I'm not complaining.. I like the Doom3 box.

So what is the verdict on the configurations of the various alienware laptops and how they perform since this game is obviously out now.

Good one bout Bloomberg,we can get tickets for anything now--lets see
if a meter is BROKE and you park there you can get a ticket-instead of the city fixing it

ice-cream trucks can't play music after a certain hour I believe

Can't have your dog bark for too long

Can't have the name of the company where you purchased your car that is a ticket--they consider it distracting--but what about bumper stickers?

Hah. Ironically, at the bar I go to (where the owner let's everyone smoke) they call him DOOMberg!

The one that gets me pissed is when they guy got a noise ticket because his little kid's baloon popped. I was like WTF?!
