    Half Life 2

    Hi2all
    I hope this is the right place to post this. It is about gaming so hopefully it is!! Been trying to buy Half Life 2 but having major trouble finding someone with it available. Got a copy off someone - they said it was new; but when I went to register it with Steam, it came up as already having been done?? So its going back!! I know I can reregister it, but what other little surprises could it have for me! Anyone with info or tips please let me know.
    take care b appy
    and Cheers

    I too would suggest Steam (they had a great offer on it recently).

    Alternatively you could buy it from GamePlay they have it for £15:

    Grab the GoTY edition off gameplay, better deal than steam I think. You'll still need to register it from steam, but I think you still install the game off the disk.

    And I agree, steam is awesome.
