Half Life 2 Package Details!

[Bube]

I'm not much of a PC gamer, although I've got a pretty good PC, so I just don't see the reason to buy a DVD player for faster installs, and a remake of HL. If it came with the CD version, I would be happy. And even though I do want it, I won't go out and buy a DVD drive for it.

And Steam, IMO, is the tool of the devil. The endless updates are a total pain. Why not put the updates into an optional installation package, manually downloaded? Do I have to wait hours for the stupid program to find an empty slot to connect to?

Give me the boxes, CDs, cash, cashiers and reciepts over downloads any day. It's been so long since I purchased a game off the shelf myself. Ahhh, the smell of a new game being opened, bought from the store with real money...
