In addition, some folks from a mod called Promised Land visited Valve and found out the following:
- VAC 2 will be released with HL2. It will be created for general use among mods and HL2.
- Collecters Edition will be available over steam as a "Special Version"
- There are some new bink videos they showed us. They were trailers with collections of all footage from the E3's, etc, and a new promotional trailer. They all looked awesome. These will be released prior to HL2 and will be in publications at first, then will be available for download.
- The SDK will be released the same time the game is released.

Greg Coomer, product designer at Valve, has just confirmed on our forums that all ATi voucher holders will also be included in the upcoming Counter-Strike: Source BETA. This will be good news for those of you that don't want to buy Counter-Strike: Condiotion Zero.
yay!
