Sales for HL2 & CS:Source go on sale today.
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:

OK that almost clears it up for me. Thanks. One more question tho: The references to "source" in Silver and Gold; that's the source code right? Most users like me would have zero use for something like that. I mean, I already have HL and Day of Defeat, so all I need is bronze? I hope you don't mind answering my questions, it's just easier to ask someone who understands rather than try to hack thru the marketing fluff.

No, Source is the new physics engine.
Its Hl1 with the new engine, and DOD (a really cool mod) with the source engine. the back-catalog is all other Steam based games. (CS, CS:condition zero, cs:z:deleted scenes , Hl1, DOD, Ricochet, etc) it also comes with the dedicated server for normal and source. also I've been playin css for about 2 hours now, its far better then normal cs.

I just purchased the silver package.
My only worry is that vendi will drag this along time in court but I'm hoping they'll see that as a bad pub already on top of a nightmare involving HL2.

I think VALVe just kicked their ass by releasing CS:S to the public, for those who bought HL2 over Steam. The longer Vivendi waits, the more people will want a taste of the Source engine, the more people will buy HL2 over Steam to play CS:S immediately, which ends up in less retail sales for Vivendi. |

It comes free with Half-Life 2... so essentially, yes.
