New DOOM Bundle Hits the Market with a Limited Edition Price Tag of $666
In a bold move that has stirred both excitement and intrigue within the gaming community, Limited Run Games has announced a newly curated package for the iconic first-person shooter series, DOOM. This limited edition bundle, aptly titled the “DOOM + DOOM II: Will It Run Edition”, is priced at a striking $666 USD, a figure that is certainly symbolic and evokes both curiosity and conversation.
This exclusive offering is limited to just 666 copies, drawing attention not only for its price but also for its unique assortment of items that celebrate the legacy of DOOM. Scheduled for pre-orders to open next week, the package includes physical copies of both DOOM and DOOM II, a box that plays DOOM, a floating Cacodemon figure, and a cassette soundtrack set, among other collectibles. For many gamers, such a limited release undoubtedly brings back memories of countless hours spent battling through demonic hordes while setting the standard for future FPS games.
In reflecting on this unique bundle, one can’t help but consider the underlying themes of community and perseverance found within both gaming and biblical teachings. Just as players unite in co-op modes to face challenges together, there is an inherent call for togetherness, much like the early Christian communities encouraged in the New Testament. Paul, in his letter to the Romans, writes, “For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others” (Romans 12:4-5, NIV).
This verse beautifully encapsulates the spirit of collaboration found in gaming communities and mirrors the invitation to unity and support in Christian fellowship. The DOOM franchise has sustained a diverse set of players across generations, transcending individual gameplay into a shared experience through forums, fan gatherings, and nostalgia-fueled events. This bundle, while lavishly priced, also serves as a reminder of the connections that gaming fosters—an opportunity to join together as enthusiasts.
Moreover, while the $666 price can draw controversy, it also presents a moment to reflect on values of stewardship—learning to navigate desires for material goods with discernment. Perelandra Daily commented on the importance of balance in passion and pursuits, a principle resonating with Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6:21, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
As potential buyers consider whether to invest in this collector’s item, it may serve as a broader invitation to contemplate what we treasure most. Is it the ephemeral thrill of possessions or the lasting joy found within community and creativity?
In closing, whether you choose to secure the Will It Run Edition, the more affordable Big Box at $99.99, or simply reminisce about your experience with DOOM, remember to seek joy found not solely in material acquisitions but also in the connections and memories we build. Take a moment to reflect on your own “body” of community, and how you can foster support and togetherness in your circles—as players and as part of a greater family.
