Guest zerodamage November 13, 2004 Share Guest zerodamage Guests November 13, 2004 i have been reading all over and apparently people are calling Best Buys and EB's and they are saying the games are going up tomorrow and many have them up tonight. Mainly because some places started putting them up so everyone else is following suit. If you plan on buying this thing via the box, I would call around Saturday morning and see if any places near you will be selling them then. If they start selling early, you may miss out if they sell out. Just an FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soul .gc November 13, 2004 Share soul .gc Member November 13, 2004 Kinda stinks for those that pre-ordered since we have to wait for mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueless November 13, 2004 Share Clueless GC Alumni November 13, 2004 If it comes out today,the server will probably look like a ghost town. I have to wait for US Snail because I got mine free w/ATI purchase, oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConGregation November 13, 2004 Share ConGregation Member November 13, 2004 They can buy but they still can't play it until steam allows them to... Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty November 13, 2004 Share Fatty GC Founder November 13, 2004 Kinda stinks for those that pre-ordered since we have to wait for mail. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would agree. Like UT...I ran to store, bought...preorder people had to wait a couple days....where's the advantage in that? I love the preloaded concept. It's a lion in a cage waitin to be released!

huhuh? November 13, 2004 Share huhuh? Member November 13, 2004 will the preloadedness come out early to then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zerodamage November 13, 2004 Share Guest zerodamage Guests November 13, 2004 will the preloadedness come out early to then? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Unlikely but possible. Those buying the CD still can not play it. Valve has to activiate it through steam. This comes off as the best way to prevent piracy ever. No one can play HL2 before it is released by Valve officially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would definitly make for some unhappy gamers, me included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
