I know it's sorta late to be buying Half-Life 2, but I never originally got around to buying it. So I have looked around but haven't really been able to find a good deal on it. Can someone help me out? Thanks a ton!
There were a ton of copies at CC for the Xbox for 8.98.
Alternatively, you can buy a copy off Steam for the PC - just make sure that you buy some lube when you bend over and take it up the ass from their pricing.
Check your local CC... if they have the PC Collector's Edition (in the big black box), it'll be about $20. The CE has the game on DVD, as well as Counterstrike: Source and HL: Source downloadable via Steam for free if I'm not mistaken.
That's illegal and Valve/Vivendi/Steam will shut down your account when they notice multiple IP's logging in from the username. Just check the forums and see how many people do the same thing then whine when their account is shut down.
If you want it on PC, go to GameCrazy and ask to special order it.. when they get it in, it'll be 9.99.
I've been looking for this game too and all I can find is some stupid version with all this extra crap I don't want. All I need is Half Life 2...I don't want a downloaded version, don't need any expansions, episodes, mods, counter strikes, sources, days of defeat, yadda yadda yadda. Just the original game for less than 20 bucks in physical tangible form. It is all I ask, Valve you ing cockbites (and no, I don't want a shoddy console port for a console I don't have, even if it is 8.98 ).
As scorch pointed out, you cannot sell your steam account.
And Half Life 2 comes with Counter Strike source so you always get something extra. Skylander and Scorch have given great options to explore as far as getting the game goes.
