There has been no proof to substantiate the rumors regarding the legitimacy of the said e-mail.

Like I said, take all information as a grain of salt.

This is actually the only reason I have to believe it... Shacknews is a pretty reliable source and the guy isn't someone who doesn't know how to use a computer. He said the email is confirmable so it scares me. :/

Emailed by Doug, maybe not the person who who make this kind of announcment

Well, I don't know about that... he is the head of marketing, after all. Officially, at least.

So many people freaking out over a few web sites posting the EXACT same e-mail which they supposedly all got from Doug Lombardi himself...

Let's think for a moment, shall we? Several of the HL news sites just get their news from other news sites, write down the exact same thing, and call it their news. It's been happening for a long time now. One site puts something up as genuine, and pretty soon it's everywhere.

The rumor mongering surrounding this release date has been horrible. Just relax, find a few things to occupy your time until the 30th, and wait for a more reliable so-called "official" news source than "OHMIGOSH OHMIGOSH WE GOT AN E-MAIL FROM DOUG LOMBARDI OUR NEWS SITE R0X0RZ!!!"

And don't get ticked at Valve/Gabe/anyone, they're trying to put out a quality product. If it gets here the 30th (and not buggy), awesome. If they put more time into it to keep everyone from having to download a 200 MB patch right off the install, then I'd rather have that.
 
I was just thinking that, these major newssites wouldn't want to be posting the email headers and stuff anyway. Doing so would make it much easier for people to fake emails like this...

Human nature. Much like the riot/gang phenomenon. When large groups of people get together, they get stupid. And in this case, just gullible.

Oh, why didn't you point this out in the first place?! Wait, let me go tell this fact to the 99% of the Earth that though the world was flat at point in time!
 
Yea, but if you take Spitcod's latest info into hand, he said that a week before it's release date, they would start predownloading for those who had preorderd via Steam. Steam hasnt updated so that your able to purchase HL 2 over it yet, nevertheless nobody has reported any predownloads. Also, the 1 week point was yesterday. Oh well. Nite all.

It sure is odd how valve has been silent for hours now, is it not?
 
It will be so god dam funny if everyone thinks it is delayed, then on the 30th your walking past a local computer store and there it is HL2!!!

But you have no money or credit card so you run home and get back and someother guy twice your size is there buying the last copy, your like "NOOOOOOOO!!"

Then you see him walk out of the store and you see a bus coming, so you push him in front of the bus, he gets hit the hl2 package flys you grab it and run home.
 
Hey, I'm not saying I believe the e-mail. Actually, I don't think Valve would confirm a delay this way, anyway. I'm just saying that a lot of people are saying it's legit.

Only if we can get cookies from cookie monster!!
 
Valve will also send another email: "APRL F00L!!!!! ROTFL. OH MAN GOT YAAA. L8R."
 
To you people making up statistics.

TAKE A COLLEGE STATISTICS CLASS PLEASE.

Only one person, since the beginning of this whole brew-ha-ha, has actually gathered data to see what people are actually thinking. On a random 2 choice poll, it turns out that:

55% of people think the e-mail is fake while 45% of people think the e-mail is real.

I wouldn't doubt those numbers stay resistant even with more voters. So get your stats straight guys, people are still having high hopes during this crazy time, and yes, that's the MAJORITY of people.
