    HL2 : a step nearer
    It looks like CS Source beta is closed and now they are offering the full game the the people who order HL2 via steam as of today. The link below has more information such as pricing etc.

    Im guessing if we buy the game retail from a shop then we get the Bronze package? If so then i might just cancel the order and pay £33 online for the silver.

    There's going to be two retail boxed versions. One will be just HL2 on 6 cds... the other is on DVD and is HL2 CS:Source, TFC: Source, DoD:Source and some other bits... oh, and a t-shirt.

    DoD-S isnt ready for release yet (or so I read), so the different packages give the ability to download it later, it isnt on the DvD. Also no comments as to a possible price to buy it later if you already have HL2/CS-S. You should also note that HL2 isnt playable yet, its tagged as * To be made available upon products' release. So you cant play HL2 untill it actually hits the shops.

    I wrote in another thread that im not to bothered about HL2 at the moment, but i take it all back! i saw two different trailers on the latest issue of PC Zone and it blew me away, it looks like no other game comes close to it.

    I'll also be getting the DVD version, thanks for the info deckard.

    Gold Package ordered here

    my ATI voucher discounted my order by $50, so what would have cost me $127 [cos of shipping an handling to the UK] cost me just $79

    not a bad price
