A legit image from performing a search for Doom 3 on Amazon. Might take a try or two, but i verified this:

Didn't want to get accused of providing a location.

Seeing as you searched in just video games and not all of Amazon, yes.

Note the exact search performed. Do that and you'll replicate results.

Actually, I searched all of Amazon. Then I saw the Doom3 picture, and clicked on it. Therefore, you are wrong. But it also doesn't ruin your fun.

They call it the most anticipated game of the year.

HL2! HL2!

edit: and I weep for the fact that they sell strategy guides for FPS games

I did a general amazon search for Doom3, and I get the same responses Fal did.. including bit torrent.

I hate to even ask this. . .but has anyone tried to notify Amazon.com? It's quite probable that the link is there through a snafu rather than intentionally.

Been done already via email. As I'm sure others have done also as I found out about this from someone else.

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

I don't know if this is relevant to the discussion at hand or not, but...

The website which Amazon.com has linked to there, is a pay site offering torrent files. There is a free site similar to the one that they reference, offering free downloads, but I know that they're linking to a pay site there. Not the free BT download site that everyone knows all too well

Still looks illegal. It allows downloading of illegal material but does what it can to get around calling it illegal.

Amazon's "sponsored links" use Google's AdWords system. If you want to do something about this you should notify Google, from what I've heard they're very protective of their ad services and will probably remove the offending ad very quickly.

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.
