I know about all the speculation regarding the release date. I for one will truely belive in a date once this information is released to the public by Valve and/or VUG. However, I found this bit of information in the newest PC Gamer (US), with the Editor-in-Cheif's thoughts,
"At press time, Valve had just delivered the release build to publisher Vivendi, putting Half-Life 2 into a two-month approval, localization, and duplication cycle before its worldwide retail release. Distribution issues remain: namely, the contention over the Steam service. But trusted sources tell us that the game will likely be on retail store shelves in November - hopefully ending the years-long debate about when the game might actually see the light of day."
Believe what you want to belive, but to me, this gives a better scope about when we should exprect to see the game on shelves.
p.s. sorry admins if this was posted already, I just got my PCG in the mail a few seconds ago.

edit: damn that first post was fast

edit2: thanks everyone
 
Thanks for the info uraligoss. It seems to me we might get to play HL2 soon.
 
I think Valve made a deal with Vivendi to get a set number of HL2 orders thru Steam before Vivendi published the retail version to the public. Greed is an ugly monster.
 
Still... November seems so far away... 3 weeks is a lot. :D
 
House, I never heard that before... but maybe its true...

but yea I think they are going to wait for the end of November (arond Thanksgiving time) because of that then alot of peopel will have off school and work and sutff and Halo 2 and GTA are coming out at the biggening of the month (if I remeber correctly)
