On the DOOM 3 Date

A couple of recent doings have stirred the pot a bit regarding the release date for DOOM 3, id Software's eagerly anticipated upcoming shooter remake. DOOM 3 Release Date Set on IGN points out that Gamestop and EBgames each are listing August 3 as the "official" just-announced release date for the game, for which the release date had been "when it's done" until it was recently announced that it would be done this summer (story). On a related note, a few folks have pointed out that the British Board of Film Classification has a DOOM III Listing (thanks for small "b" blue for being the first) with a rating for the game, a seeming indication that they've already been able to review all its content, which some are taking as another indication of the game's relative imminence.
