Yep, they are a scam as well as a ripoff. I've been to their Brick and Mortar store in Nashville and they are high priced, especially when they want $12.99 for a 25-Pack of DVD-R Disks that have been shrinkwrapped together w/ a bestbuy returns sticker slapped on them
 
Got mine. boxed looked sealed. Haven't tried to install the game yet, but I noticed on the outside of the delivery envelope there is sticker saying something like "Got invalid key? see ......valve". Don't remember the second half of the message on the sticker but it pointed you to a site for Valve to reset the key. Sounds like they expected this problem ahead of time. Contents looked brand new.
 
So I installed it. Double clicked the game icon. Asked to register the key. Entered the key and it said I need to install the game. Didn't say anything about an invalid key just that I must install the retail game before registering. So I guess I got hosed? Can't figure this thing out.

EDIT: Nevermind. Had to reboot for steam to recognize the installation. Their menus aren't that intuitive. Anyway, Mine worked fine.

Half alive! If you search their site for "half" they show one for $7.99 and one for $14.99. Don't know what the difference is, if any.

If you wanna look at it that way. Original deal is dead, the risk now would be $7.99 + $7.50 (shipping).

🙁 I got burned by this one. My key was used and the discs were scratched. I'm trying to get a new key.
