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: 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.

    • App, useful & Teams shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
