Its not HL2 for free, its HL2:Deathmatch, and HL2:Lost Coast.

The offer does work though, it scans your system for an ATI card (any as far as I can tell), and lets you add the games to a steam account that doesn't already have them.

Heh, I got half-life 2 free originally when I bought my old 9600XT a few years ago. Good deal.

Thats a different offer.

With all HD2900XT series products you get a free copy of "the black box" (HL2:Ep2, Portal, Team Fortress2).

This is for ANY ATi card be that a Radeon 7xxx series, 8xxx series, 9xxx series, Xxxxx series or HD series. However the "free" games you get are pretty pants, HL2:Lost Coast is a one level tech demo to showcase HDR in HL2 before Ep1 came out, and Deathmatch is funny for about 5 mins.

I remember getting a free activation code for HL2 when i bought my 9800 Pro a few years ago. It let me download HL2, CS:S and HL2

If only it were Episode 2 pre-orders for 9$, I'd pre-order in an instant.
