That's besides the fact.

Well it may have certainly influenced their judgment on buying the card.

So what happens if we already created a new account when we first got the voucher? I better not get fucked over cause i lost the voucher and all I have is the new account haha. Shit.

They should have done this a long time ago.



CrimsonElite, you're stuck.

Ok, i bought my computer with radeon 9800 pro and on the retail box it said comes with hl2. correct.



I then was buying a computer from Dell, and they gave me no voucher. How can I still obtain this VOUCHER KEY?



I am going to post this on the steam forums too.



Someone who knows what their talking about respond!

Yeah they did, alot of them bought it thinking they'd get hl2 free

And they will. The fact that they're getting it later than expected shouldn't really have any influence here. Unless you're trying to say that had Valve said, "buy this card and get free HL2 in a year," they wouldn't have bothered.



If that's the case, why would that be? They've still got a higher-end video card than they used to, and they're still getting HL2 for free.



In regards to your other statement about the voucher holders getting the Source beta earlier (at the same time as Cybercafés),

Edit: Looking at that page, I'm not sure if it will answer your question or not. Hope it does.

Good news, but I strangely figured that was how it would work the entire time.

I second that emotion! (guess the tv series)

Only the AIW 9600 Pro or Radeon 9800 xt, I believe.

So does this mean I don't have to mail in all that crap to VALVe or whatever? I can just put the ATI key in Steam and I'll get HL2 and CS:S Beta?

yepo, ain't it super

It's the 9600XT and the 9800XT cards that had it. At least at my last check.

[SALAMIjedi]

i didnt get one with my 9600XT... but i should be able to get HL2 for free anyway, cause my dad wants it as well. (he used to play wolfenstien, plus my dad is very impressed by the physics)

you'll be able to download it through that account though you may still be able to add it to your other account as on the other one hl1 games wont be available with it once hl2 ships (or so im told)

That's what I thought too, and actually what I had typed before my edit, but then I read this so I'm not so sure.

But I thought all HL mods were gonna get ported to source, and that you'd get them free? So it doesn't matter if you can still get them. (I for one cannot wait to replay HL1 on source)

[Mobius?]

I think CS:S is going to be free anyway, its just a graphic update and they are only porting 8 maps.
