Episode One Pre-loading

[CSN NewsBot]

Doug Lombardi just sent a late night e-mail to nerds like me, informing us that Half-Life 2: Episode One has started pre-loading. Even those who haven't pre-ordered Valve's first jump into episodic content can pre-load the content:

Half-Life 2: Episode One, the first in series of episodic games from Valve, is now available for pre-purchase and pre-load via Steam. Those who pre-order the game before it is made available on June 1st will save 10% off the $19.95 price. For more information, visit www.steampowered.com

Thank goodness I just made the leap from a 9800 Pro to a X1800 XT!



Update: Just a little addition to let everyone know that Half-Life 1: Deathmatch Source is also available for immediate play with a pre-order.

[woah]

Oh yeah, and maybe this is a bit off topic (you know, Counter-Strike news), but...



...wNv beat coL to win the 2006 WEG masters...

It figures they start the preload pretty much right after I get to bed (after having waited for it all night).



How's that X1800XT treating you anyhow? I was thinking of making the leap to that or an X1900 or a 7900GT once I make my upgrades.

[duhhhh]

yes!!!

ANYWAYS, can't wait for the game. I'll be buying it when the mofo comes out. And maybe once I get around to actually playing and beating HL2...

I hope it's 6-7 hours but I bet I'm right...



Time your game play. If it's only 3 hours I don't think I will buy episode II

No replay value...



No thanks.
