Doom3 is coming out too early in my opinion (along with HL2)

Yes, I realize that they're a year late, and that their "revalation" status is under threat from games like Farcry, STALKER, FEAR, etc. but after hearing that testing has been cut short and some features have been stripped from both Doom3 and HL2 to be first to market suggests to me that we're going to be in a "Doom3 Ships, first patch released" scenario, with full playability coming some time after purchase. I'd rather have a full polished game on the shelf, rather than a late beta.

Of course, maybe I'm just complaining because the hardware I want isn't out yet... it seems that the only 6800 with Dual DVI will be the Ultra, so I'm waiting for nForce4 (SLI enabled) to see if you can actually use all 4 DVI outs and the 2 TV outs (Hopefully you can - have 3 LCDs)
