LoL! Well this is one game I'm definitely going to get... that is until I get a new DVD drive because my current one is fugged. Gonna get the DVD version of HL2, I hope!

[Kupo-Cheer]

Its not. There would be a lot more stuff such as official announcements in steam and everywhere on the net, plus its not under "just released" in steam.

I'm surprised devinlamothe hasn't commented yet.

Anyways, looks nice, maybe I'll buy it when I get my laptop

[Soviet]

just like when DOOM3 was sold a few days ahead, did Activision just say **** it and make it available everywhere? no. So some people got lucky, the rest of us will have to wait.

[Kupo-Cheer]

Yeah, I should have put a "rumors only" warning on this thread or something since all we have so far a few sketchy pics and posts in forums and stuff...

I do not know if this is proof of being a fake or not, but shouldn't we be able to see keyboard keys through the clear part of this cd. It seems like the "backspace" key is at the top of this cd, so direcly under it should be the "|", enter, shift, and ctrl keys. I could definitely be wrong though, but I do have fun disproving photoshoped images while I wait for next week!

I just took a cd and I tried to position it just as you see in the picture. And you can only see the edges of the keys just as it is in the picture. So I do not think it fake.

Edit: I just took a Look at the bigger picture of it and I can see the letters for either the shift or crtl buttons

[Laughing-Man]

A lot of people thought this one was real too...Lol, I just like planting the seed of doubt in your heads. Plus, why would he be showing 5 cds and not 6?

It is known that HL2 will come in 6 CD's or 1 DVD... there's only 5 there... weird

Just like doom3 was on 6 CDs or 1 DVD?

He should scan his receipt or take a screenshot of the installation process. I will believe him once I see other proof besides an easily photoshoped box and cds.

:x :x :x :woot:

[fkid]

Regular Half-Life 2 is 6 CDs.

Special Collector's Edition is 1 DVD

This is fact.

[Djmutik1013]

He said that he is going to take it back to the store, so maybe that means it is fake

[sin-ergy]

real or not. he can't play until it's unlocked on steam.

[fkid]

You don't have to believe him, but from the looks of the box, it seems very real.

Screens can be easily photoshopped too. Theres been a ton of fake "half-life2 unlocked in steam" 'screenshots' posted on the net, and an installation screen would be just as easy to fake...

[Terrigamer]

Note... the picture's filename is hl2installing.jpg, Hard to instal without at least one of the discs being in the drive.

for gods sakes people stop quoting that ****ing agif.

[xplatinum]

5/6 cds... they probably meant 6CDs including the CS one. 6cds in the box. not nessecarely a 6disk install.
