Gold And Silver Edition....

[G Man]

Hey All, I'm Wondering Wether To Buy Off Steam And Get The Good Packages And Be Able To Play CS:S Tommorow Or Just To Wait For The Retail Edition.
Points I Wan't To Know...
Gold Edition
1. Do HL2, CS:S DOD:S And HL:S Need To Be Preloaded Or Do They Get Mailed To Me?
2. If They Are Mailed To Me Then How Do I Get CS:S Tommorow? Is It From The Beta?
3. All The Extra Stuff Must Get Mailed To Me Right?
Silver Edition
1. Do HL2, CS:S DOD:S And HL:S Need To Be Preloaded Or Do They Get Mailed To Me?
2. If They Are Mailed To Me Then How Do I Get CS:S Tommorow? Is It From The Beta?

Thanks, G Man

Thanks But What About The Other Questions?

When you buy the games from steam, you get them via downloading them. They don't mail you copies of the game. The whole thing about steam is being able to download the games. Now if you do get the packages with extra stuff, thats what they mail to you. The only official hard copies of the games will come from vivendi

Thanks A Lot, That Sorts It. I Have 56k So I Guess I Have To Buy Retail... Oh Well.....

that's the bad part about steam. it really sucks if you don't have a fast connection and need to download or update stuff.

If you buy Gold right now, do they ship all the extra stuff right now as well??
