Competitions - DOOM 3 at QuakeCon

The official QuakeCon Website (thanks HomeLAN Fed) has word on plans for the first DOOM 3 deathmatch tournament to be held at QuakeCon 2004 this August, fuelling expectations that the game will be released by that time (story), though it's also possible that this could take place using a prerelease version of the game. Here's the deal on the three QuakeCon competitions (DOOM 3, Quake III Arena 1-on-1, and Q3A CTF), and the prize purses involved:
MESQUITE, Texas – July 6, 2004 - The battleground is set - the 9th annual QuakeCon 2004 video game festival and tournament at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas on August 12-15 will host the first DOOM 3™ deathmatch championship ever. Be there to game, hang out with 5,000 of your closest friends, and compete for $150,000 in cash and prizes in the NVIDIA QuakeCon 2004 Championship Tournaments. First-come, first-serve online registration for QuakeCon 2004 has begun at www.quakecon.org. The must-attend event for gamers is free to all attendees.

“We’re having a DOOM 3 party this year, and want to offer our fans the first opportunity to compete in a DOOM 3 tournament,” Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id Software said. “NVIDIA is putting up the largest QuakeCon prize package ever, and topping it off with DOOM 3 prizes that will have the competitors’ adrenaline rushing.”

NVIDIA Corporation, the worldwide leader in graphics processing, is putting up a combined purse of $150,000 in cash and prizes for the three QuakeCon tournaments.

There is no "tin" version of Doom 3, just a Doom 3 "with bonus" version which is just a cardboard pre-order game box with a pewter figure.
boo. And I have no interest in Halo. Guess I gotta hold out to see that fancy HL2 packaging.

As an aside, I'm glad pretty much every vendor has switched to the smaller "cram more games on your shelves and mine" box.
