Sticky situation

I have a dilemma. I found my Doom III game. I set it on my desk and promptly knocked it on the floor whereby, it popped open and I backed over it with my chair.

I screamed bloody murder.

Needless to say, disk #2 was broken. How would I replace that disk, either legally, or taboo ?

This an expensive game, and I'm still shaking from pent up adrenaline from the outburst I had.

Thanx in advance.

Maybe you'll get along by sending the entire package including all CDs to the publisher. Write an e-mail and ask them if this is possible.

Check your PMs.

You're welcome to my copy, absolutely free. Rubbish game. I will
happily exchange it for a Quake 3 disk which suffered a similar fate to
your Doom disk :razz:

gwil you beat me to it, that's two offers orph, except i don't have a broken Q3 disk

i was going to say something similiar to gwilyms offering, without the "rubbish" part..... :razz:

Doc B... :dodgy:

I know that the majority disliked Doom III, but I genuinely liked it. The game followed the genre perfectly. If it only had coop play, I'd think it perfect.

I will get back to you guys on this. I'd rather do it the legal way, since mine is such, but any method will be considered.

I will have to locate a Q3 disk. Its somewhat older and buried much deeper in my boxes. And YES, I bought it... Not tabooed it. :smile:

• Get someone elses copy or buy a new one (it's like $10)
• Quake III has been released under the GPL. So, it's free anyway.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

YAY! finally I can get rid of my copy. I will have it posted to you immediately, all postage costs are on me! Your address please?

It's perfectly legal to make a copy of a game disc if you own the game.

It's rendered difficult when the disc is cracked into several pieces, of course :razz:

Quake III source code has been released under GPL, but not the game content. It's not free. You still have to pay for the art and models and maps.

I believe it is also legal to download an image of the disc if you own it. Really what you are paying for when you buy a game is the cd-key.

On a serious note, perhaps we should start our own Game Exchange. They have stores that do it for money, why can't we do it for free? Assuming of course, we don't send copies.

What I never understood was, how a store can charge money for a game already bought once? I mean, thats got to fall into that gray area somewhere.

Puts me in the mind of the satellite companies charging for local channels. It cost them nothing to add them to the rotation, yet they charge for the service. :rolleyes:

[EDIT]

I would settle for the #2 cd image if anyone can host it. I will even provide visuals that I own the game. Just to clear the air.

The "no sharing" but "second hand purchasing" is okay, thing never made sense to me. Since, in both instances, the makers of the product don't see a dime. Maybe it's a law in business that applies regardless of product.

It costs money for them to give you local channels because they have to read in the broadcast and handle it in a local manner, not globally, so that costs them money right there. If you don't want to pay for the amazingly crisp and awesome detail of a satellite dish's local channel transmission (which is a mediocre price) buy an antenna. If you want, you could get an HD antenna and get your local channels in HD, if they support it (which they're suppose to by now)

---

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

I suppose when you consider that the signal comes from orbit, that granting access to local channels is a chore for them.

Still it rankles since they are already feeding you 10% channels you can use and 90% channels you never even look at. At an exuberant price I might add.

How f**king many shopping channels does anyone need anyway? :sad:

Exuberant prices? Man, you should see how much Cable costs here. It's costs FAR more than Satellite and it doesn't offer the same selection of channels; there's not even an option to get premium channels. For any of that crap you have to get "digital cable" and that costs more than Satellite as well.

There's also a huge campaign stating that the dish will crap out on you when certain weather arrives ... I can tell you from the snow and rain we've been having, it's fine.

This is specifically in my area though. We have a sort of monopolization cable giant (Comcast) in the area, they bought everything up ... didn't change a thing and starting tippling the price. They guarantee internet speeds that they never maintain as well. It's just ridiculous, they have a campaign going on now that it costs more because you're paying for more and getting better service, which is complete bulls**t.
