Episode 2 + Team Fortress 2 + Portal = $40

What's that- £20? Sounds fair to me.
I don't doubt there'll be a lot of complaining again though.

US$ 40 = 20.3790503 UK£

I was also looking at the COD/COD:UO/COD2 pack for $39.99 on steam whilst stroking my beard thoughtfully.

Can't say fairer than that, now gimme gimme gimme!

Post by **Grimmie** » January 18th, 2007, 0:37

Sounds fairer than fair.
I'd probably pay that for Portal/TFC2 alone.

Post by **Dr. kitteny berk** » January 18th, 2007, 0:38

yup, £20 seems more than fair for what you get.

Post by **FatherJack** » January 18th, 2007, 3:33

It is not fair, I demand they increase the price.

Episode 2 : WANT!

Teamfortress 2 :WANT!
Having had to wait for TF2 for 10 years :DO NOT WANT!

best way: wait for preloads to open and get sent the gcfs on a coupla dvds from a 5punker.

I quite enjoy downloading lots of data, so long as it doesn't interrupt my usual habits. It gives me the nerd-horn.

Post by **Grimmie** » January 18th, 2007, 11:56

I quite like the download service from steam.
Not only can I preload and play the second it's released, but if I forget to preload and It's at 33%, I can play the first third of the game.

Profit!

Oh, and I can play it anywhere, no disks etc etc..

It has much improved, but is still with it's flaws, yesterday for example I couldn't play any Steam games for ages because it was trying to update but the servers were to busy so I couldn't start Steam.

But the game downloading mostly works ok, getting it cheaper is the main benefit as far as I'm concerned.

Stoat · Post by **Stoat** » January 18th, 2007, 13:01

How long will the preload period be this time?
I don't doubt they'll have a load of extra servers in to handle the transactions but I still reckon it'll be a good idea to wait for a few days.

Post by **Grimmie** » January 18th, 2007, 13:11

Really you only need to preload a day or two before final release, instead of straight after preload release.

£20 eh? Sounds good to me, even if I'm only buying it for TFC2

Not even Portal? I thougth Ep1 was well worth the money, and with TFC2 and Portal I'm certainly going to get it at some point.
