Somehow I missed this part:

Also revealed, the full version of CS:Source will be available to Steam purchasers next week!

Very interesting move by Valve

[Paddy]

I'll probably buy the collectors DVD edition. Just to get a copy of HL1 too.

I'll not bother with Steam thanks

@Paddy - didn't you get a free voucher with your 9800 AIW?

[Paddy]

Nope. I don't think so.... I have had three of them so I am sure that I would have seen one!!! Perhaps you don't get them with the Herc. model....

[Fat Tone]

Hmmm... this reminds me I must dig mine out (came with my ASUS 9800XT/VTD) and see what to do...

[Paddy]

It probably expired a year ago

[Paddy]

what version can you get?

[Fat Tone]

I'll let you know when (if) I (ever) get home.

[Paddy]

I know the long hours you work!

[Fat Tone]

I managed to acquire a fair bit of teaching this year and chairs of a few committees too

I suppose there are worse jobs than photographing 160 19-yr old girls

[Paddy]

[Fat Tone]
