    Well all I can say is have fun once it arives on your PC. I'll be waiting until it comes out in stores. Quite a good system though, ordering it through Steam. Nice..

    I guess it's safe to say that HL2 has gone gold.... or goldish. Maybe more silver. Yeah. HL2 has gone silver. w00t.

    I don't think it even still works with CS:S. I tried it a few days after and it kept saying my credit card has been declined. And I tried it a few times and closed steam right when it said to.

    I don't really see the point in pre-loading the game...

    Well pre-loading it doesnt change how much you have to pay for it to get the key to unlock the files.

    As far as I can tell the only benefit is the few hours wasted downloading the game are used up while the game isn't even released...

    No. But they are still going to charge you $50. Best Buy will also charge you $50, but Valve won't see all 50 of those dollars if you get it at Best Buy. If you get it off Steam, they get all 50.
