unfortunatly it will be around £15 :( so no hl2:am for you :D

PS i agree with your name wholeheartidly ;)
 
I know i buy it for sure ...
Where £15 go these days anyway. :(

I normally pay £13 for hour and half DVD movie.
(10 minute taxi ride home from pub would cost me not far from that or three packs of fags)

I will deffo buy it as well. It will no doubt be fantastic playability even if it is not that long.

Also, compare it to xbox 360 games at 50 quid each. Now that is seriously bad value for money IMO.

buy it on steam and it will be £15 as the price is always in dollors on steam.
;)

some people said fear was short, I guess they missed all the power ups and phone messages by rushing through.

Each to their own.

To be honest I don't know where all this £15 nonsense has come from anyway. If the game is $19.99, it will cost £11.41 at the current exchange rate. And as you mention, it's via Steam, so we won't get the usual UK retail price hike.

I've mentioned this in the past, but I think people need to get to grips with the fact that games in general aren't going to last as long as they used to, due to being much more complicated to develop, with much more detail in everyscene. People aren't content wandering around bland flat corridors with cut'n'paste wallpapering of textures anymore. In the FPS sector especially, I'd say around 10-12hrs is par for the course these days, rather than the old days of 16hrs+. To their credit, FC, D3 and HL2 were all of decent length - perhaps why some people got bored of them, you can't please everyone!

Little thing called VAT.
£11.41 * 1.175 = £13.41 but on the majority of my purchases via Steam, they've been a bit higher than that rate, plus my bank charges £1 for overseas transactions.
