I just called ATi for details on the launch on the 30th

[Templar Wizard]

...and she said she would get back to me.

She may to give me the information whether or not HL2 was going to be at the launch of the 9800.
and the date of availability.

more on this as it breaks.

(please do not contact them yourself, as it may complicate the matter)

 

[x84D80Yx]

so what was the point of this post?

to tell us about information you didnt get?
to tell us what we already know about the 9800XT coming with hl2?
and to tell nobody to call them to get the information?

...please

 

[nsxownzme]

Cool.. and to think a Headcrab did this. Not all headcrabs are bad, huh

edit: hes only trying to help.. maybe he can get some new info for us

 

[D33]

hmm.. was gonna delete this thread but I think I'll let it ride out.

In future Templar it might be an idea for you to get the information first, then create a thread if the information is worth knowing.

ok....

a) to tell you information will be coming.

b) yes we already know that it IS being bundled, but do you know when???? oh you dont?

c) is there going to be a 'version' of HL2 there? or is it just assumed that there will be.


all of these were implied. due to the fact that these questions are all on everyones mind i felt it was redundant to state them.

looks like i was wrong.

 

[x84D80Yx]

a) we know the info is coming, information always comes, just takes time.

b) when know when, from that news announcment i belive it said between sept. 30th at launch to about 2 weeks after that. but there is supposed to be something about it on sept 30th at alcatraz.

c) we dont know that yet i guess. but its assumed its gonna be the regular one.

why dont you call them, get your info first, then post. dont post on something thats coming.

thats like posting a update on a new movie or somthing without a link.
im not trying to be an asshole/jerk or anything, im just stating what ya should/could do. ;x

sorry

sorry

a) yes, it IS coming, but do you like to wait?

b) we dont really know, the inquirer story said maybe 2 to 3 weeks.

c)by 'version', i meant playable/movie


i understand your point, and perhaps i should stated rather than implied. if people are bent out of shape about, then i apologise.

but my word to the people of earth: chillax.

Well in that case the idea of getting any real information from Ati in Germany is pretty slim.

 

[-Yo-]

mhhh true i think that having that info from a non-american office would be a bit hard

you are definetly a half-empty guy arent you?

"nothing ventured, nothing gained", have you ever heard this?

and just so you people know the reasoning behind calling the german office:

they are launching in Munich, GERMANY, on the same day.

I know it's the same time zone, but you DO realize ATI is a Canadian company, right? Not trying to be an ass, but I wonder how many people realize that. (other than other Canadians.)

I didn't know that Beazil. Cheers.

 

[Templar Wizard]

quick answer:

they. dont. know. about. hl2.

bah. what a letdown....

i thought this route may have had potential, but was i wrong!

delete this foul thread, and the gonegold one too!

 

[Reiska]

Props for at least trying, Templar! :cheers:

 

[Beazil]

Thanks Jez, and yeah Templar, you done good for trying. A+ for effort man.
:cheers:

The last I heard, all the information in the world worth knowing came from the US... It's the centre of the world didn't u know? So those ATI folks in Germany and the rest of europe would know shag all....

Possibly because their wooden wind telephones arn't in full production yet. And carrier pigions arn't what they used to be :-(

Darn those Americans, they are so great and noble. If we only could have a president like Bush ;(

LOL!!! Not knocking any Yanks out there, but that's some funny $hit!

Edit: Careful folks, you do not want to turn this into a political debate. I apologise if it appeared I was going in that direction.

 

[pHATE1982]

LOL

I'm not trying to be political, honest!
It's just that some people are a little naive about the rest of the world...

 

[Beazil]

Touche.

 

[poseyjmac]

some people are. some americans are. and also some people from every country are naive about the world. whats new?

 

[x84D80Yx]

"I just called ATi for details on the launch on the 30th"

i guess we looked at the topic and thought you had details...
guess not. you should get the details before you post a thread about em, thats all im sayin.

Well put. I think we can expect this thread to be closed anytime now. It has gotten waaay off topic, (sorry), and Templar did what he set out to do.

 

[Beazil]

test

 

[-Yo-]

Sorry Beazil it's true that i've forgotten ati was canadian
so, it's hard since its an non Canadian or american office

 

[Beazil]

Well, they are definately becomming more of a global company anyways. Just nice to see some of the locals doing well.

:cheers:
