gee heres a thought, the company that would release the game in stores is holding it hostage because they want steam to stop!

that is exactly my point wolf..
"this whole deal kinda screws people that want to play source "tomorrow" and own the retail box as well."
EDIT: hank screw the rent man, this is source we're talkin about here...lets get realComment

CS:S isn't coming out tommorow. They would have made an announcement, I've never heard of a game suddenly "become released" with no solid date.
That's like, John carmack saying doom3 is gonna come out summer.
Then one day in middle of july you see Doom3 on the store shelves.
Stuff like that just doesn't happen.Comment

not VALVe's fault VUG is gay i have my CE preordered but i am canceling my preorder 1 because i want CS:S right away which is not the main reason because i have ATI voucher anyway but i am upgrading it to gold package and 2 because VUG is a bunch of morons and i do not wish to support themmagicalpoop wrote..

This is so much BS. I preordered the collectors edition from EB 6 weeks ago. It cost me almost 90 bucks after taxes. I preorded because I wanted to play CSS as soon as possible. Now they pull this shit. What does everyone who already pre-ordered HL2 get? Nothing. We are screwed. They should allow EB to give us vouchers or something. This is such bullshit.Comment

that's why i never preorder things. if there's such a physical scarcity at the stores nearby when it comes out, i'll just order it online.Comment

I had the CE pre-ordered as well, but i canceled it.Comment

Indeed, what they did wasn't nice. Those who bought the ATI a frickin' year ago and that got the voucher only got the Bronze package. Huh...?Comment

But Bronze is the basic boxed version that you would buy in stores. So, the ATI people aren't getting short-changed at all. They are getting exactly what they were promised. (I'm one of them)Comment

Awesome! I'm going for the silver!
As for HL2, I hope it will be released this year. It better be less than a 6 month waiting period! (the game is most likely gold by now, Vivendi's just procrastinating with the release date)Comment

*fap fap fap* againComment

CS:S will be released to people who preordered HL2 through STEAM, not at the store. And what is with all the random cussing? Fuckiddy fuck fuck. See? Did I even need to say that?Comment

Just wondering, but is any1 sooo dedicated to the cause that they're gonna stay up all night jsut to see if it's true or not, cuz you would think they would post a confirmations or not. Then again it might be a scheme to keep bandwisth's low, cuz when Beta was announced, servers were overloaded...so who knows...mayb current relations with VU are pushing Valve to release it earlier on Steam.Comment
-
Hmm. I half-believe that. We'll see.
Edit: by the way, October 4th is now for me. Today evening..?Comment

its still 10:41 pm for me, I'm not sure how they'll base it off of, since Valve is a US based company, so they'll probably use Pacific times, so 2 more hoursComment
