So is anyone actually going to buy all the different boxes that HL2 is suppose to come in, because you know its just a marketing ploy...

Yeah this was pretty much pointless
whats so good about the collectors edition of it anyways?
If I didnt open the box and saved it over time and it actually grew in value then I would consider about it but it doesnt. So there isnt really a point in doing it. Unless I get some spiffy stuff in it, and it has to be REALLY cool too....
So nope for me
I just want the game dammit...

Think of it this way:
The collector's edition is like a sexy woman. Sure, you could bang a pig, but who would argue the sexy woman isn't better? If it's all just vagina, then why do I get a boner when Tara Reid is on the screen and not Oprah?
Thank you.

Thank you Mr. Bildo for that sumptuous analogy...
Anywayz, I probably WON'T BUY EITHER!
You know why? Cause we all know they're gonna release Half-Life 2: Game of the Year Edition, complete with updates, patches, mods, more dev tools, an even cooler box, not to mention a healthy price drop.
The waiting's the hard part. I say the game industry do the awarding Oct. 1 and just get it over with. :cheese:

Mr. Bildo made me laugh and give serious thought to the sexual organs of both animals and super-models.
I'd buy the collectors edition on condition that:
1. It is released at the same time as the standard edition.
2. It comes with something physically entertaining or useful, like a crowbar keychain or a metal tin to hold my paraphernalia
#1 is most important... there's NO WAY IN HELL I could wait any longer to play this game than necessary. Even if there was a special edition coming out a week later!

The major reason I'm interested in the SE is that the standard 'mugshot' boxes are so damn ugly.
As for the possible content, I don't give a damn about HL2 keychains or mousepads but "behind the scene" footage would be nice.
The thing is though, seeing that Valve are on a tight schedule as it is I don't think there is time to include it if they're shooting for a simultaneous 30/9 release of all versions and I'd choose an ugly box over a month without HL2 in a heartbeat.

I totally agree with you on this one, who's actually going to walk around with a HL2 keychain or T-Shirt or whatever. I'd rather have a lengthy 'Making Of HL2' or something like that.
If they were to include a real, autographed crowbar, that would be pretty cool tho.
