Half-life 2 vouchers -- worth the trouble?

[Stug]

Hi, I'm looking at getting a radeon 9600xt soon, and I was wondering if anyone here has any idea if the voucher will be worth having? It says ground shipping could take 4-6 weeks, so that leaves me with downloading it from steam. Do you think this will be worth it, or should I just wait and buy the game? The voucher would be cheapter since I'll probably get the 9600xt either way, but I'm not sure having to download it from steam with each install would be worth it... Any thoughts?

If you're going to pick up the 9600XT, then why not? I'm not sure how Valve will have the situation setup (burn an image of the game once it DL), or if they expect peeps to DL it once. If I were you, I would just DL it. To send it away would just take too long.
