question about half Life 2

[dbuttcheek69]

now, now dont hate on me cuz i threw out some accusations about newegg, i love them and theyre the only place i buy my stuff from, but i think somethings up.

maybe its just me though.

ALL you guys that have HL2 can help me out, did yours come with a manual or anything? all i got was 5 cds in paper cases. Did u guys get jewel cases, i was just wondering if theyre all like that, cuz i really like to read those manuals, theyre pretty interesting.

thanks

the worst packaging for a premium game . . . . 5 cds in paper sleeves (a cd key and reference card)
(at least the content is fine . . . . unlike the nice packing for Doom iii and Zero content) :roll:
:shocked:

. . . . i made it into 2 DVD double cases with the box cover cut-up and spread out over both . . . looks nice(r).

No manual. All part of the Half Life experience. Mystery about why you are there is just part of the story.

yeah thats what i got just a reference card. (and the game)
im really dissapointed.

My doom III was nicely packed.
It didn't work.
Drive reads the disk as some sort of nerfed extension.
Fun
