I completely forgot I had preordered HL2 months ago for $42 at CompUSA. I just received an email.

4 days early, too!

 

[Super56K]

Hmm, interesting. Propably just an automated e-mail error.

 

[UnTech]

Yes. probably just an error. But if not cool you'll be playing Half-Life 2 in a few days.

I don't see how it's going to get to you with all those X's for your address.

Are you serious or what? He probably replaced his real address with the X's.

No way, so his name isn't really XXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX?

 

[skace]

I don't know which is more amazing, the fact that you are supposedly getting hl2 soon...somehow. Or the fact that you took the time to X out about 10 words in that paste.

 

[Slogun]

Well let us know how the game is when you get it this week.

 

[AnyMal]

I think they're saying that his pre-order is finally being processed into the system. I could be wrong tho...

 

[atlr]

I received one of these emails too.

 

[The Sauce]

Yup I think it's going through. I just got the email saying that they had to cancel my order because they tried to charge my card and it was rejected (I had to cancel the account a month ago due to fraud). I don't think that they would have tried to charge my account if it was not ready yet.

I knew an XXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX once.... really nice bloke. Dont know what happened to him.

Anyway, i think they've just processed your rebate and HL2 will be sent as soon as they get it or are authourised to do so.

Your sarcasm meter is out of calibration. Have it checked ASAP.

"sarcasm meter... oh, that's a real useful invention"

 

[Abhoth]

Yeah, who needs a meter!?? Now the Attitude Adjustment Tool... that's useful...!

Amazon.com says Half-Life 2 will be shipping on December 31, 1969. Cool, it's been out for years or they mean 2069.
