I figured we may as well start this out as many of you are probably going to see this game on the shelves of your favorite PC store today.

BE WARNED this is a LOCKED VERSION of the game and is NOT PLAYABLE until November 16th after verification via Steam.


Let's keep all HL2 related discussions in here so as to not clog up the boards mmmk?

Craig, masturbation can not only make you go blind, it also causes you to hallucinate . . .

i was goign through all the game store sites to see their release dates for HL2..walmart says they have it in stock (like i'm gonna belive them)

This was kinda funny, it was under the user review section on the target site:

From What I Have Seen about this game, I am sure that this game is going to set a very high standard for all the upcoming first-person shooters. I really doubt that any games will match it. Yes, including Halo 2

IT IS IN STORES. But you cannot play it...its a locked copy. Best Buy has them on shelves all over the USA.

I meant to say LOCKED not UNLOCKED in my initial thread...sorry for the confusion.

Its out tho...need proof? http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=8987263

YESS!!!!!

I just went down to the nearest BB in Erie, PA and they had them on shelf. I picked up a box ($54.00) and took it to the register, the dude apologized to me, yelled at someone else to collect everything and put them back inside.

Apparently they will go on display on Tuesday

BUT - they are here Thats the good news!!!

$53.93 is the cost here in Erie...

Call your nearest BB store...

Valve has, on it's Steam website, apologized to those who have purchased HL2 but are currently unable to play it. They blame the game's distributor, Vivendi Universal, for restricting its use until the 16th.

Basically - No matter what you do - you cannot play until tuesday.
