Looks like Doom 3is now offical for an ealry March (Like 5-8) release date. Id also annouced their plans for a "limited" collectors edition, which includes some crap making of, and the first two version of the game.
I'll probably get the Limited Edition, even though its like 10 bucs more, just to play the first two version, since I never really have. Should be interesting to see how well they made the PC to Xbox jump...
Whats up with all the limited editions latly? Gamers won't keep buying these things forever. With Halo2 it was like, cool, more stuff! Then the MK came, and it was neat, then Splinter Cell got it, now this and a bunch of others. My point is, I don't think gamers care enough about all these games to make the whol "special" edition work. With Halo2, it did so well becuase people love Halo sooo much...they loved the idea of a "special" tin...but I doubt enough people will love these games to make the LE work out the way it did for Halo2.

R63 Assult Pack 2
For those who havn't heard,, the latest R83: BA content was released today. MajorNelson put some pics up over at his blog and the full report on it.
I, for one, will not be buying this. I bought the last one and have played maybe two of the maps on there. I'm not wasting five bucks for something I know I won't use. Halo2 is just too good to put down for the lagfest that is Black Arrow. I'll take a lag-free and developer-supported game over one thats the exact oppoiste ANY day.
Now, when the Halo2 content comes (which, BTW, has something to do with trenches...yay!) I WILL gladly pay 4.99 or, for that manner, 9.99 for it.

Daily News Round-Up
Lotta news today, so I thought I'd sum it all up in one post for today...
-EA gets ESPN-This one struck me as odd...I suppose ESPN sold out on VC, the makers of the 2K series of games. EA just continues to gather up all this huge companies and take over the market, like a big fat guy takes over the all-you-can eat bar. I seriosly don't know about this... EA already had the NFL, so I geuss this is only "for the better"
-MSN puts RSS on My.MSN- Nice, a tad bit slow, but nice integration. I alreadly lilke my RSS reader (Pluck), but, for the common man, this should get more people into the whole RSS thing because MS is behind it...they seeem to do that to people.
-Another MS Thingy, the Anti-Spyware-I know its has been out for awhile and really isn't new news in itself, but I DL it today and ran it for the frist time. It didn't pick anything up...
-NFL on youe iPod- This is kinda new news...I know iTunes had something similar, at least last week or so. But I doubt this will catch on. The fact that it isn't live will just hold it back too much to make it even a contender. I can't speak for everyone, but whats the point of listening (not even watching, mind you) a game you probably alreadly know the result of. Untill they can get instant downloads using WiFi (or airport)...radio will remain ahead in this one.
-Lastly, in a late news report-Incubus is playing Halo2 on the "Game with Fame" thing...but its another one of those contests, not a luck of the matchmade game thing...you have to enter, then get placed on their FL.

Did you cheek out VGN yet?
Thats alotta Nickles
This story stuck me as down-right odd. Read it here.
Where'd they all go? Of coure the driver looks like the guy, but still, why nickels? Quaters would be easier...but then the dollar coin would be the most profitable...imagine if it was pennies!
