anyone that doesnt have internet and is in the us i cant see them complaining about activation as long as they have a 56k modem in their computer and have a way to get the netzero installer. hell you can call them up and get them to send you a cd you wouldnt be able to play hl2 tonight/tomarrow but you would be able to play it at some point.

Well I kinda think it sucks to have to activate the game online still because I can definitely remember not having the internet only a few years ago and how much it sucked. But I can also see why they did it and then you can always sign up for a free internet service for like 2 seconds to activate even though that seems likea lot of hassel.

Hey all,

I'm looking to buy hl2 tomorrow when it comes out, but i'm on vacation in florida (first time in the U.S) and i'm not sure where to buy it or which to buy.

I went to a "game place" today, not sure of the name.. and asked them if they have it.. they said they have a collectors edition which was $79 and a normal version which was $59, but they didn't have any other info about it.

I want to know:

A: where i can find more info about the different versions to buy retail.

B: Does the normal version available in cd and dvd?

C: Where is the cheapest place to buy it, sounds kinda stupid i know but there are alot of people on this board from the U.S that plan on buying it tomorrow as well and i would like to know where.

thanks guys.

From Ebgames.com:

Half-Life 2 Coll. Ed. - The definitive version of Half-Life 2 includes the game on DVD plus Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life: Source, a T-shirt and Prima book.

Half-Life 2: Half-Life 2 includes the game on CD plus Counter-Strike: Source.

B.) Regular is 5 CDs I believe.

C.) Lowest price Ive seen is $49.99 for Regular, prices will generally be about the same. Dont forsee any 'deals' happening really.

    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
