You know, I've got the SE preordered, but the gold edition sounds just as tastey. This sucks.

once you purchase it via steam, can you burn the install files onto a dvd so you don't have to download them again if you reinstall windows?

I remember somebody posting a screenshot of several buildings from HL2 that looked unnervingly real. Does anyone have the link to that? It was more photo-realistic than other HL2 screenshots I've seen.

Are there any screenshots or video of DoD: Source?

Also supposedly Team Fortress Classic was being ported to Source, but has anyone heard more about that?

CS: Source will come with all versions of the game. The various special versions will include HL: Source, DoD: Source, and a bunch of other goodies/useless stuff that I'll not hesitate to get ;). It's sad....

That really suxxors, that the game is ready and some VU is pulling our chains for six more weeks. I mean it will still be megasale no matter when it's released.
