Preorder Half Life 2 Collector's Edition for $59.82!

[aldamon]

I think I'm going to hold off on this one. Once HL2 goes gold, I may revisit this deal.

seems pretty hot. I do love HL.

September? *MIGHT* have my X800 XT by then!!:disgust:

 

[dmw16]

ordered. not a bad deal.

Also, I did some checking and included in the Collectors Edition is...(according to hl2source.com)

Full HL2 Game
Action Figure
Poster
Source Engine versions of old games

And hopefully it will be on DVD. It also appears to be in a cool box.

I actually have this preordered over at ebgames.com using the $20 gift certificate I got from buying UT2k4 collectors edition. What are the chances that EBGames.com will price match Walmart?? I highly doubt they will keep it at 79.99 if a competitor is selling it that much less.

You can just PM once it comes out. I've done that for games and DVDs I've prepaid for over there.

This is a major YMMV as EB has no official pricematching policy. It is up to the discretion of the manager, and depending on your manager you may get a PM or not.

Are the source versions of the original games going to be free to download? IF so the collector's edition really won't be worth it in my mind.

Subtotal: $59.82
Shipping: $2.98
Tax: $4.40
Order Total: $67.20

For me in Philly. Thanks OP, couldn't resist this one. If something better comes up of course I'm re-ordering

Wait, I thought Walmart had a policy against selling games with the Mature rating?

Maybe that conflicted with their policy of making a profit.

Doom 3 available too! Immoral bastards.

I'm wondering the same thing. Does anyone happen to know? Thanks.

Limited to how many?

Limited to as many as they can con people into buying.

 

[welst10]

Ughh....I will never pay over $50 for a video game. NEVER.

ps: I got my doom 3 for 39

 

[butlafer]

im pretty sure it will be dvd, They have confermed that they will be making cds as well as a dvd version(which obviously hits at the collectors edition)

Why, for providing the dev team with a convenient scapegoat for why they were so far behind schedule? Seriously, how does someone reading your code delay release by 6 months?

 

[BZeto]

I think I still have HL2 preordered at Compusa for $40.

 

[flyboy84]

but is that the collector's edition? or regular?

 

[Epoz]

I jumped on, saving me money. I only hope that is comes as fast as possible I want this game

 

[iwearnosox]

I don't trust walmart. As much as I wanted to order from them I used a $20 cert I had @ ebgames and got it for the same price...

 

[FluxCap]

This is tempting but does anyone know if Wally World has a good record of shipping quickly and correctly with stuff like games?

I refuse to be sitting at my PC with my thumb up my butt in September while my copy is still being sent to me and everyone else is playing HL2 that they preordered from somewhere else.

Lol I remmber now. When unreal 2 was coming out walmart had this excelltent deal for one costing 22 bucks with shipping. However, When it came time for it to be released they cancled all the orders and changed the price on their web site. Now I am iffy I think will just head over to ebgames site and order from them or outpost i was impressed how they handled my doom 3 order shipped a day late but is expected tmrw anyway.

I think you're thinking cds with the Parental Advisory warning. They've always sold all types of games. Of course now they card you when you buy a mature rated game, but thats a good thing.

You might also be thinking of them pulling Stuff, Maxim, and other similar magazines from their shelves.

Sexy magazines are bad but exploitation of your workers is ok

Yea jez, oh we cant sell stuff that has naughty words, but we'll gladly steal earned money from our employees...
