Which Half-life2 is worth buying? Basic, silver, gold, CE?

hey guys,

Well lets see here... $49.99 shipped for basic on Amazon, my Wally-world has it for $55.00.

Or I can download sivler off steam for $59.95 and get DOD Source as well. Or I can shell out $90 bucks and get gold and the poster and t-shirt and hat (uhhhh I don't know about that) Did anyone get it on DVD with the collector edition? That is actually kind of nice isn't it. Is that worth it? That is like 80 bucks at Walmart.... 79 on amazon shipped. Think that is worth it?

I'm thinking the Silver looks real good...



just wanting some opinions


thanks,
Rhino
 
Get Silver off of Steam. Not only do you get DoD:Source, but you get Half-life 1 and Condition Zero which just a few months ago sold for $20 or $30 each still. For $60, you get a TON of games, and Steam works very good IMO. Please don't get Gold! Heh
 
Get the Silver version. It's the best value. The retail versions just give you a glorified backup disc that you can easily make yourself after you download the games on Steam. Also, Gabe Newell gets more of your money if you buy through Steam.
 
Silver from Steam is the best package. The digitally remaster version of the original (HL: Source) is pretty awesome and will work on all new hardware. Besides, Steam is just a cool appliation and great to be a part of. I know there are people out there who have had some really bad issues with the app, but I've not had a single hitch and I want to express my support. 🙂
 
Thanks guys... I almost though the poster would be cool but if I want it that bad I can get it off ebay for 5 bucks...

The silver looks sweet i'm gonna grab this badboy right now off steam.


Going to be sweet old halflife: source and all those other games. IT IS A STEAL!!!!!



Thanks guys!
 
Bronze/retail is best. I've heard most people say HL:Source isn't even worth playing, it's identical to the original only written into the source engine, it's not uber like HL2. The only screenshot of DoD:Source I've seen didn't look too hot either. And all their older games.. why bother? Couldn't possibly justify spending the extra money.

And buying through steam to give gabe more money isn't a good thing. I will never buy another valve game since this purchase. Steam is worst bloatware I've been forced to install ever, and that's reason enough for me to avoid future products.
 
Silver is a great package. If you really want all the other stuff go for gold but IMO its not worth it.
 
I got my retail box from Game Stop for $35. (they did a 10% lower price match on CompUSA's $54.99 + $15 instant rebate). 😎

AWESOME GAME.
 
Old remade games, worthless. They only really remade CS, HL1 is still just HL1 with a couple tweaks. DoD isn't even out yet, but only screenshot I saw didn't show much worth mentioning.
