Heres the bad thing currently about getting Half-Life 2 tho. If you purchase it like i did, and get it via Steam, you have to download it. Recently, like last weekend, i added another western digital 74gb raptor to the one i have, and for obvious reasons, i set them up together for raid. In doing that i lost the half life 2 preload and counter strike source that i had on my drive at the time. Now, even tho im a registered user and purchaser of the "Silver" Package, the server is so busy, it wont let me download anything! I get this message "The Steam servers are currently too busy to handle any more pre-loads of half-life 2. Please try again in a few hours".
They really should put please try again in a few YEARS, because ive tried at random times over the last few DAYS and i cannot download a game ive bought via a internet streaming delivery service.
My advice to you, buy the game in a STORE. Screw buying it through steam.
