ATi RADEON 9800 XT and HL2 Bundle Speculation

[Cannibal Corpse]

I think the reason Valve had to delay the release of Half Life 2, is due to the fact that ATi forced them to wait so they can get the RADEON 9800 XT ready. I understand that this new model has been officialy announced, but probably due to some internal delay they had to make sure that this "bundle" be ready.

Really?

There havent been any notes about the XT being delayed... On the contrary, Anandtech reported a while ago that the 9800XT had already been shipped to some vendors

it may be.... a small demo? not the full game?

 

[Tropico]

no demo not before the game is on the shelves it has been said by gabe.
