Anyone know where you can pre-order the Gold Edition?
Yep, Steam.

I'm going for the Silver version myself, essentially the Gold edition but without the pointless hat, posters and empty box, plus you won't have to pay the seperate postage charge to get those items shipped off to you, which would bring total the package to around £75.

Anyone got a link?
You need to download the program STEAM and in that program you can order Half-Life 2. There is no link to the actual buy but you can download steam here: [URL]www.steampowered.com[/URL]
Can you only get this gold edition through steam?

I lost my coupon...
So how would it work... I'd pay for the Gold edition, then download all the games and then a little while later receive all these promotional things in the post?
It's the lack of a hard copy that's my problem with it. I like games in their nice boxes with the manual and artwork and on a DVD that you can keep and then sell on. Makes it feel more as if you've bought something.

I would think so. I got the Silver edition last night. No fuss, just put in credit card details, followed the simple instructions and bam, withing five minutes I'd pre-ordered HL2 and had CS: Condition Zero, CS: Deleted Scenes and CS: Source ready to play.

That's what bothered me at first, but now I've got it ordered it really doesn't matter. I'll back up HL2 anyway on a blank DVD, when it's ready. Besides, I'd rather Vavle get my money than the Publishers and shop Retailer, who always get a bigger cut of the profit.
