[Showtime]

In case your still looking for it, they had a bunch at Frys yesterday. New PC games usually go on sale there FYI.

it was 54.99 on tuesday... lol... good thing i didn't buy one yet

Would like to buy one, but so turned off by the whole activation thing.

What if Valve went out of business say 2 or 4 years down the road from now. If I installed it on my new computer then, would I still be able to play/activate it if I wanted to? Probably not. And that's what really bothers me. Why couldn't they have just required a product key to play the single player and then if you wanted to play online then require activation or something? :|

Don't be turned off! Rest assured that a crack will be available in a few months.

months? you mean pretty much the instant the game came out?
you just need to register and 'logout correctly' and then you cna play offline. *shrugs* for me it's not a big deal since i use steam to play CS online anyway.

Not sure if it was $39 at Fry's, but it certainly was (is?) at microcenter.

sweet. i price matched it already heh. and so what about a crack, cs source is fun

 

[whiteboy81]

So if you don't get the Collectors Edition can you still play CS: Source or do you need a seperate key for that too?

 

[popeye44]

the box retail version has HL and CSS for any more games you'd have to buy the dvd version or sign up for a silver account at Steam

 

[jamima69]

bmott-doesnt the 2001fp kickass? my girl is buying me a second one for xmas i think it's down to $600 at dell,now that deserves a thread on it's own.

The day I went, there was a display box and 2 other areas that had copies of HL2. In the area where the game is mixed in other games (not in the display box), it had the price marked at $39.xx. I'll check my receipt after work to verify exact price. Cashier rang it up at that price. I also brought a copy of the Microcenter ad, but didn't need to use it. Price should have been good to at least thursday. Not sure after that.

great deal on a great game

 

[thebruiser]

HL2, CSS, and the crack are already available for those who mess with that kind of thing.

normal edition comes with cs source. special edition comes with half life 1 source. neat yes, but not worth the price difference.

We're running a bit of an experiment. We're keeping track of the accounts that do this and will be shutting them off.
