Today on
www.steampowered.com Valve will be finally releasing their product for sale. While this does not include Hl2 its self, it will give you Counter-strike:Source to fully play. HL2 will be released to you upon when Vivendi Universal decides to actually try to make money.
Why is valve doing this? Many have rumored to think its a jab at VU since they are delaying Valves product even longer then it needs to be.
What does this mean you will get? A receipt, and a game dl. No actual CD / DVD. Steam uses a internet downloadable package based game. You can aquire the game online anywhere, as long as your have a steam account with a CD-Key to match it.
I personally will be buying Silver. I find Gold to be a complete waste of money.
Quote:
Today at 11 am PST, the Half-Life 2 Steam offers will be ready for
purchase. Those who purchase via Steam, will receive the final version of Counter-Strike: Source immediately. Half-Life 2 and other games in the Steam offerings will be made available to purchasers upon their release.
ATI/Half-Life 2 bundle owners may redeem their product key for the Bronze offer or apply their key toward the purchase of either the Silver or Gold offers, receiving a credit equal to the price of the Bronze offer.
Also tomorrow, the Counter-Strike: Source beta will close. Valve would like to thank the thousands of gamers who participated in the beta and helped make it a success.
