Half-Life 2 In Stores Already?

Posted by Phunky at 17:50 12/11/2004.

It looks as if BestBuy stores in the US have been up to their old tricks and selling games before there store dates. If going buy this picture and this receipt it looks like some people have been able to get the hands on HL2 early.

But sadly they will still have to wait until the Tuesday's release date as HL2 needs to be auth'd with Steam before they can even play HL2. There are some rumours that Valve is thinking of releasing it early on Steam but these have yet to be confirmed.

I suppose you won't be able to play online with a cracked version, but that's the case for lots of games. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
