Tomorrow at 11 am PST, Half-Life 2 will be ready for
purchase through Steam. People who will buy their copy of
Half-Life 2 through this medium will immediately receive the
final version of Counter-Strike: Source. The other games,
including Half-Life 2 itself, will be made available on
product release.

Good news for ATi coupon holders as well, for they may
redeem their product key for the Bronze Half-Life 2 package
or apply their key toward the purchase of either the Silver
or Gold package, receiving a credit equal to the price of
the Bronze package.

With these events, tomorrow will also be the day
Counter-Strike: Source beta will close. Valve would like to
thank the thousands of gamers who participated in the beta
and helped make it a success.

For more detailed information, please visit
steampowered.com.

We also received a complete list with all the Half-Life 2
Steam package contents and their prices.

1.2ghz processor with 256MB of RAM, Windows and a DirectX 7
supporting graphics card, is the minimum.

I played Half Life 2 today. It is pretty nice, but I'm not
really a game player, and I don't really like FPS, so I
don't get much of the hype.

played around with your girlfriend today. He is pretty nice,
but I'm not really into fake tits, and I don't really like
trannies, so I don't get much of the hype.

Yes, yes it will. Because when CS:S runs it actually uses
the hl2.exe. ROCK ON!

I'm tempted by gold.

Hey man, what's your name on Steam? You did tell me once but
I can't remember. I'm giginger as per usual. We'll try and
get on the same server and maybe succeed this time :D

Hasn't anyone tried to crack the pre-load thing? I guess
it's all encrypted with keys that only valve retain... but
still you'd think people would have tried.

I'm not sure, it could be 'desbo', my email address on there
is desbo(at)dsl.pipex.com - you can use that I think.

I WILL CHECK THAT SHIT OUT WHEN I GET HOME.

I think people will have tried to crack it but they might
have used some extreme algorithm action to stop it being
cracked in time.
