My Friend (who's highly addicted the HL and has bought the Gold Edition as well as Pre-ordered the Collectors edition) picked up a regular retail copy on Saturday at Best Buy down the street from my house. He installed it and of course got the "Thanks for installing the game. It will be ready to play the moment it is released" message. So he called Valve and left a message complaining that if the game is supposed to only become available on the 16th why was he able to buy it early. A Valve representative called back within 5 minutes of leaving the message asking for specific info on where he bought it and how much he paid for it. The Valve rep (named Chris) stated that they were trying to collect as much info as possible from early buyers so that the would be able to go to Court on Monday against Vivendi for not being able to control their retail outlet sources.

To be continued I suppose.
