Thats what im wondering, would be nice if we got it a bit before people buying it in stores since we're supporting steam, but more than likely even though the games on our harddrives now (for anyone that preloaded it) we'll still have to wait. oOo:

I think this sums the situation up pretty well and how stupid it is.

[quote:57568]Computer and Video Games is reporting that Half-Life2 has finally gone gold.

After years of speculation, delays, and other extreme weirdness it finally appears to be true and an official "Gone Gold!" announcement should follow shorty from Valve.
Speaking under strict conditions of anonymity, an industry insider squealed earlier informing us that "as far as Vivendi is concerned, the game Half-Life2 is finished" before saying that the title had been passed to PEGI (Pan European Games Information age rating system) for classification, which in turn passed the sequel to the BBFC for certification.




In other news, Hell has reported record-breaking low temperatures and is expected to freeze over any day now.[/quote:57568]
