Yeah sorry m8 You just beat me 2 it, you must ov posted like seconds before me

, Well its worth a double post if you ask me

DaveyD · 6 Oct 2004 at 22:57

Well seeing as no replies to your post, then should stay in here

Probably won't buy it just yet, as it's rather expensive. Nearly £34 for the Silver

UFX · 6 Oct 2004 at 23:02

I will buy the silver , will be around £33-35 in REAL money

cant wait..

Sirrel Squirrel · 6 Oct 2004 at 23:03

yey cant wait for cs:s, i get the bronze edition as i got an ati voucher from work

masterk · 6 Oct 2004 at 23:03

So if i bought the gold version over steam, i could download CS: source, and they would send me all the merchandise?

Than HL2 later on?

DaveyD · 6 Oct 2004 at 23:14

Basically, you'll buy the stuff from steam, and you'll be able to DL HL2 (locked) and CS:Source. Then, once HL2 is out, the content will be then unlocked, allowing you to play the game.

What about if you buy the Gold version? All that extra stuff?

Dean3d · 6 Oct 2004 at 23:20

think i'll go for the gold version. :cool:

DaveyD · 6 Oct 2004 at 23:23

Well, you won't be able to DL the following

-- Half-Life Collector's box
-- Half-Life 2 hat
-- Half-Life 2 postcard
-- Half-Life 2 stickers

I'm thinking that it could be for US only the gold, but probably wrong, as they'll likely have euro distributors too.

Dean3d · 6 Oct 2004 at 23:27

sorry for the st00pid question, but....

...will you be able to buy the gold version in the shops??

DaveyD · 6 Oct 2004 at 23:33

I'd think so, but you'd have to buy the game like the good old days in a large cardboard box. Probably a steam promotion thing anyway, as they'll want a lot of people to pay over steam to get people using it.

Hencore · 6 Oct 2004 at 23:54

cant wait! iam actually pleased with the prices , cheaper than i thought it was going to be

For every approx £252,746.94 they make through the Gold package sales a free trip to valve

Its a steal

MouseMat2004 · 7 Oct 2004 at 00:22

Bronze for me, Maybe upgrade later (I assume you can) if HL:S and DoD:S is anygood

mrk · 7 Oct 2004 at 00:33

You know the amazing thing? my student account gets transfered from current to student with £300 interest free overdraft tommorow, GUESS WHAT I AM BUYING GUYS

Gaijin · 7 Oct 2004 at 01:25

I'd expect it to be more expensive than the exchange conversion works out at. I'd be surprised if it went at £30 for the basic game. I reckon we're talking £50-60+ for the kitchen sink hoo ha.

mrk · 7 Oct 2004 at 01:26

I wouldnt be too sure about that!

I'm buying it on STEAM anyway which should have prices in $ so when i pay for it the conversion is made, the silbver im going for so £33
