curme Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I got this from EBGames for pre-ordering the HL2 Orange Box. Dear Valued Customer,As part of our goal to deliver the best gaming experience possible, you now have access to the Team Fortress 2 Beta as part of your Half-Life 2: Orange Box pre-order for PC. The Beta is currently running and will be active until October 10, 2007. Below you will find instructions and your unique product key. Instructions 1. If you are a first-time Steam user, go to www.steampowered.com/getsteam and then download the free Steam installer. 2. Save the SteamInstall file to your computer. Run the "SteamInstall" application to install Steam. 3. Launch Steam. After launching, go to the Games menu to "Activate a Product on Steam" and enter the product key below. I'm on dial-up, can't use it, so the first person who wants it, just post in this thread and I'll PM you the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted September 25, 2007 Veteran Share Posted September 25, 2007 Is this a separate key for the beta, or your normal Orange Box key? Because i doubt you want to give away the entire Orange Box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curme Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 (edited) Is this a separate key for the beta, or your normal Orange Box key?Because i doubt you want to give away the entire Orange Box. I'm willing to bet that it's just for the beta, because it seems weird that EBGames would e-mail the entire key for the Orange Box, just to get me into a beta that lasts a couple of weeks. Well, I hope anyway! :laugh: In fact, I think there are separate keys for everything, HL2, EP1, etc. so you can sell/give the away if you already have, say for example, HL2, but not EP1. Ok, PharosBR, I'll PM you the key. Sorry to everyone else. I didn't think it would go that fast! Edited September 25, 2007 by curme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted September 25, 2007 Subscriber¹ Share Posted September 25, 2007 Be weary that the key IS for the whole package, so if you have sent it you have just given away your entire Orange Box :( The only ones you can give away are HL2 and Ep1 (But you cannot do that until the day of release) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying the key on the Orange Box when I get it in the mail in a few weeks is going to be the same as the e-mail they just sent me? How do they know what box in the warehouse I'm getting, and then e-mail me the key from it? Maybe you are thinking about if you buy it from STEAM? At least I hope so :laugh: !

+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted September 25, 2007 Subscriber¹ Share Posted September 25, 2007 I may possibly be getting confused with Steam and Retail versions, but in my past experience you only get the one key when buying a multiple game pack and that key unlocks everything. For example I purchased the retail HL2 limited edition pack which included CS:Source as well as HL1:Source and DoD:Source, there was just the one key which unlocked everything.

Robbobloke Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I think you just gave away your entire Orange Box. Because the TF2 beta key unlocked Episode 2 and Portal for me (well they show in the purchased games section). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexcyn Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 The key I received unlocked TF2, Portal & Episode 2. So you may want to wait and see before giving it away ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
