Well I think camping outside the store is better for me, I'm the impatient type of fellow who likes to get the hands-on approach. But I'm afraid the game will be released eons later in France.

i Dont get this, every shop is telling us another release date?

gamesplanet.co.uk : 28/11/2003
shop.game.net : 30/09/2003
bol.com : 21/11/2003 (netherlands, I ordered half-life here)

More and more online shops are setting there release date to end November.

They would not do this without a reason, couse that is bad advertisement. I think the online shops with the November release date are right. Why didn't Gabe official confermed the 30 Sept. release date? There must be a delay. I can't think of another reason why they are setting the release date to November. Can you?

, Another gamer desperate waiting for half-life 2.

 

[DeathMark]

Except for the fact that you can find it cheaper elsewhere.

 

[MaDMaXX]

play don't seem to manage next day delivery anymore, and you have a good cahnce of getting the import charge on region 1 dvd's :/

 

[zakl]

lol... it's was a great price until I converted it to US Dollars. I'll be able to pick up a copy from Sam's Wholesale for the same price once it ships. I'm not trippin I'll just wait for it to hit Sam's.

Peace

Does anyone know a good shop in the Netherlands (or Europa, not GB)???

[superbo3]

[Spyre]

I cancelled my pre-order until I can be certain I purchased the right copy...

DVD Limited Edition, CD sans multiplayer, Multiplayer Steam Subscription, or HL2 -MP included...

Sometimes there's such a thing as too many choices, hehehe

[MaDMaXX]

Yeah any chance Chaz could come and confirm any info he knows about this one?

 

[bubblyofart]

Dear Sirs



I have pre ordered Half Life 2 for the PC from your website.



However Valve (the developer for HL2) has mentioned now that there will be a number of retail versions of HL2. Please could you advise as to which version is to be a pre order on your website.



I am informed that there are 3 variants. More info on these can be found on the HL2 Forums http://www.halflife2.net/forums (they are down for maintenance as I write).





Kind regards

Hi,

We've not had any new information on Half Life 2 yet and we have yet to hear
back from Vivendi as to what's going on. If they do issue 3 versions of the
game, we will contact you to confirm your order.

 

[r00b]

[r00b]

A little to early atm still.

 

[av2k]

asdf

before buying this

you gotta find out if this is the single player or multiplayer o_o..

just a suggestion

 

[Pippinator]

Hello, i'm new here so hi to everyone I've been following for a while but thought i should sign up as I've got something to add to this thread.

In an e-mail to play.com, i wrote :

"There are now three versions being released.

A SINGLEPLAYER ONLY VERSION
A SINGLEPLAYER AND MULTIPLAYER VERSION
AND A COLLECTORS EDITION DVD

Which am I going to get now i've preordered? I'm considering canceling my
pre-order, you see, I want multiplayer too!

Please could you garentee i'm going to recieve a singleplayer and
multiplayer version.

Thankyou

Michael Drayson"

The responce I got was not one I like:

"Hi there

Thank you for your email.

The version of Half-life 2 that you have ordered is the single player version. If you would like to order a different version you are free to cancel the order and re-order the version that you would like.

Kind regards

Play"

As a result I have e-mailed many game suppliers mentioned in this thread asking the same question. As I get replies I'll let you know but anyone pre-ordering from Play.com should cancel or expect to get a SP only version.

 

[Pippinator]

also, just to add, they only offer one version to buy on the site, and its priced £26.99 I believe.

It sucks in my opinion, they'll just grab peoples money and then tell them to get lost when people want a refund. Money grabbing retailers!

 

[superbo3]

can i get a conferm from the guy at gameplay.co.uk that it is singel and multiplayer please? it would really stop me from worrying , its my first time buying a game online so i hope it will be a good experiance

 

[mortiz]

These November release dates are all coming from the publisher! I don't think they've even spoke to Valve about it.
