    Angry CS:S Beta, only for CZ owners?

    "Starting later this summer, Valve will be conducting a limited-time beta of Counter-Strike: Source via Steam. The beta will first be open to subscribers of the Valve Cybercafé Program, and then extended to owners of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. The next installment of the world's number 1 online action game, Counter-Strike: Source blends CS' intense teamplay with the advanced technology of Valve's Source engine. For more information, please visit www.steampowered.com."

    This means I'll have to blow money to buy CZ(aka steaming peice of ****) to beta test source?

    Bah, don't waste your money on CS:CZ just to beta test that new game. Just wait till the final release comes out.

    you can buy a brand new condition zero cd key on ebay for under $16 with S&H. For the single player, graphics enhancements, and beta opportunity, i think it's worth it ... but you decide:

    I don't know man, all these people on eBay selling CD keys ... methinks they probably use keygens or something ...

    from an eBayer selling ...
    This is a brand new un- registered CD key pulled from the box. You are the only one own the key and I will destroy right after sending to you. Althought no shipping fee is not needed but I will charge 2.00 handling fee to cover some fees.
    Some fees? Hrmm ... I wonder what THOSE fees could be.

    Just for a beta? No thanks, I'll wait until it's retail.

    I think they could be hackers to lol. They got banned from so many servers that the cd key is useless now

    Oh? You guys didnt know there was a hidden agenda behind Valve? Thats why I preordered CS:CZ because I knew that 1)It was the MOTHER OF ALL EXPANSIONS and 2) You needed it to participate in their beta. I would have gladly payed full price $49.99 but much to my delight, it was cheaper.
