HL2 sales recap...how did you ACTUALLY buy your copy?

[Izuno]

Simply put, for those of you that did buy Half Life 2, how did you buy it? There has been talk of this informally, and Ol did have a poll on how people intended to buy it, but now that the game has been out a couple weeks it would be nice to see how people actually bought it.

There are some people I work with (some senior people, in fact) that cannot believe that anyone would buy games from something like Steam. So I just sigh and post a Mapcore poll.

Thanks for your input.

I got the special edition, just coz it was on dvd, i couldnt be bothered swapping over cds during the install lol

[KungFuSquirrel]

Well, I'm an uber-nerd and live as much for the boxes and cool collectibles as the games themselves, so I ended up getting both Steam gold and retail collector's. *hides*

Steam Silver. A lot better than I thought it would be, that method.

I went for Steam Silver and it all went smoothly for me, will order any future valve products via steam without a doubt

Steam Silver. Mr Visa hadn't been out of the wallet in far too long.

[kleinluka]

i suppose by special edition you mean collectors edition? Thats what i got =)

kinda disappointed there was no manual in the box tho :/ just the dvd, t-shirt and prima strategy guide.

Bronze for life!

I prefer steam, because I can just sit here and play the waiting game. I'd buy every game on steam if I could (aslong as not so good games arent on steam so I can .... trail them)
