If I already didn't have a voucher coupon used, I would've gone with the Gold package. But I'm unsure where the Ati Voucher coupon falls into it. *Hopes its Silver*

Wow, 6 CDs or 1 DVD. Perhaps I'll go for the DVD then.
Do we know yet what Half Life 1: Source is??? Some remake of Half-Life???

Hey! I want HL1:Source, do I have to buy a DVD drive for that? No fair!

Guess I'm getting the standard edition...

you can get a DVD drive for under 30. and you'll prolly be able to download the HL1 source if you cant already.

HL: Source is a partial remake of Half Life. Valve didn't take as much time porting it to the Source engine as they did with Counterstrike Source which is a full blown redux around Source. HL Source is more of a straight port. It gets the bells and whistles graphics but some things don't look as great as HL2 which is understandable. But I wanna play HL: Source to see how well it looks.

And Bube, you can just get the Silver version off Steam if you want HL:Source. You won't get a CD/DVD but you can have those games.

Hm I'm afraid Steam doesn't deliver in Turkey? Or do they?

Steam works here, I don't know if they sell though. I used to play CS 1.6 with my 56k, but after buying a new computer, and a DSL connection, Steam couldn't update itself. Or maybe it was because I installed it during the CS:Source preload period.

Ahh, whatever, I won't pay money to download a game off the internet. I'll probably pay, and won't be able to download it... I hate Steam...

And getting a DVD drive just isn't worth it. I'll pay 30$ to play a game I've played before (and hated, I should add) with better graphics.

Steam can deliver anywhere in the world AFAIK since its all run off of servers and it can contact anywhere it feels to download data.

And Steam is free to download. It's just that to play MOST games (not all because there is a free game you can get off Steam - Codename Gordon) you have to pay which is obvious.

But overall, I've had no real issues with Steam. They have really good servers that can handle a ton of bandwidth.
