Hard Luck Doom 3 Story [Archive] - ForumsHQ

Excerpt taken from article at [H]ard|OCP:
I know a handful of you guys lucked out and got your DOOM 3 early, but everyone else is having to wait…and I do mean everyone else. You know it is hard to get your hands on DOOM 3 when our pal Christian “XIAN” Antkow from id Software (even being a creator of the game) couldn’t get his hands on an early copy of the game!
So, I tried to weasel a copy of DOOM 3 out of the people here locally, and they wouldn't sell it to me until 7pm. I even showed them my business card. "Honest ! We don't have our copies yet ! I wanted to pick up a copy early !!! Yes, I'm really with id Software. Yes, I worked on the game..." Even more frustrating was that StoreX had about 7 copies behind the counter, in plain view, under a big yellow "It's Here !" sign... So close... yet so far away.
