I was in town yesterday and asked the game store(where I preordered hl2 in july 2003)
about the release date and he said after checking on his shops pc "sorry m8 I havent got a clue its just coming up November" and he owns the bloody shop.they were selling the new ps2's there yesterday as well.

buy it off the net

i ordered mine on play.com when it was £24.99 now its £29.99 and play normally ship things so they get to you on the day of release sometimes a day or too before if your lucky.

i can get discount at my local game, 25% so it will work out cheaper probly than the net, and GAME's proces arent that bad

yes ive been having a depressing rough, lack of sleep time recenl due to work, school, women and the like,

ysee iw as under the impression that crapshot lived in newcastle, and he sorta dissed the gaming shops, which when i now looked back on it did seem crap, as there pre owned stuff was very dear, and he gave me bad directions to JESSOPS, but anyway, blame me cos im retarded, and i was rushing to make a post in ICT when the teacher was trotting about

I have it pre loaded via steam. As soon at tuesday the 16th (?last i heard) rolls around i should in theory be able to play the game

[novajoe]

i've got 2 much money so im getting it from steam and the box version :O

Some people are concerned the legal arguments about valve flogging it through steam may delay the release. Wonder if its worth sending vivendi an email saying that:
"I have preordered a boxed version through a retailer, but if you arse around with release date again i will have to cancel that and get it off steam so that i can while my wait by playing cs:source. And i am not the only one."

I'm so fed up of waiting that quite frankly I can't be bothered to rush anywhere for it. Besides I think I'll wait to see what you guys say about it before spending anything. I just don't have a warm fuzzy feeling about it. I waited with bated breath for MOH Pacific assault and when the demo came out thought it was a bit of a dog. Has anyone played the full version? If so is it still like something off an Atari stood in the corner of a 1980s pub? (for those of you that could get into a pub in the 1980s)

I DO live in NEWCASTLE !!! I said that the game shop owner looked on his pc and his release date was just coming up as November.His new peices are as bad as his used,try cashing in a few games with him.It cost me 5 good games to get doom.As for Jessops you must mean the bloke in the shop as I've never given anyone directions on how to get to Jessops.
