          at 6:30AM EST it took nearly 10 minute to unlock the game...I think the Steam Servers are getting hammered. I tried getting onto Rage3d.com just before to see if there was anyone else having problems with HL2 like I was (there was eariler in the day) and their website is hammered with traffic. I'm hoping my 9700 isn't crapping out on me now.
          Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

                • The game's getting rave reviews. I'm debating buying it from Steam, but why is it $50-$60 when you don't get anything? Usually 1/3 of a price is retail markup, and then there's distributor's cuts and whatnot....

                  All those costs are gone, so why is the price so high?

                      No doubt a contractual thing with Vivendi... aren't there law suits a-plenty flying around at the moment?

                      I think I might pick the game up at the shops on Friday and spend the weekend "having a poo" as Paddy puts it No time til then...

                      • I got it at MicroCenter today. Was on sale for $40 (list was 55). Came only with 5 CDs, a small quick ref card, and some ATI spam.

                        Then they had the $75 dollar "special edition" that comes with a t-shirt art book of artwork.

                        Won't be able to play it till tonight though...

                            • Question, is the boxed version available in stores(for ~$54.99 USD) the same as the Half-Life 2 Silver that you can DL from steam for $59.95?

                              I guess in short, does the store version include or allow you to play CS:Source ?

                              That is all....

                              • From what I can tell, the basic retail version is the same as the steam bronze package. It includes HL2 and CS:Source, but not HL:Source or DOD:Source.
