"Half life 2"

It's been dispatched from SR

Yay!!!!!!

D'oh despeartely trying to bargain with the Uni computing service to allow Steam for 24 hours so I can download Half Life 2 Silver...

There's no point in having a game such as Half-Life 2 without not box or manual, it just doesn't feel right. Its like if you were a kid you want a happy meal but you don't get no toy rather dissapointing in my opinion.

MINES BEEN DISPATCHED TOO :D theres a party in my pants and your all invited ;) just kidding

Where can I get hold of the Silver version?

Don't buy it via Steam then. Problem solved.

Whoo!!! Just discovered that I had enough untransfered funds in my paypal account - just purchased the collector's edition for £39.00 - that includes P&P!! A certain Hong-Kong based

(I had to have Halflife: Source having never played the original!!)

So there's no way (yet) of gettting a package with DoD other than through Steam?

Unfortuanatly. There's a good chance it'll get a seperate release later, possibly retail as well given that the orignal DoD got it's very own full priced release, but I don't see that happening for a while yet. I don't even know if DoD is being released at the same time as HL2.

I believe the collector's editon includes this, and should be available in the UK very soon I have seen a UK stockist offering it for £49.00...
