Steam, I didn't have to pay taxes on HL2 silver, and I'm going for the same thing now... 15% taxes here in Nova Scotia, we get jipped big time here...
Also, I don't need disks or boxes...STAY GREEN! GO STEAM!

I hear you buddy. Here in Ontario its 15%. Although the GST is dropping 1% but we all get that.

Yet another reason to go through steam.

Plus, everyone in the province got $400 bucks from the government a few months back because of all our oil money... :devil: OK I'll shut up now :E
 
If there was any reason for a war between provinces, this would be it lol....

Still steam is cheaper since its not taxed.
 
Steam for me, no tax (if you preorder) and will get it faster.. whats not to lose?

You won't be able to spawn any of the E1 stuff until it comes out anyways, it'll be all encrypted. And once it's out, if you're playing GMod instead you need your head looking at.

I'm quite surprised at the number of people who want it retail. Are boxes really that important to people?

Yup !!!!
 
Steam alltheway. In the piece of rock I live in prices are usually 1.5x US prices in retail, if not 2x. Plus it's easier, plus it nets my favorite developer more cash, plus it gives no cash to the ehvl ea.

Anyone that can use steam but don't because they "want the box" = :bonce:

.bog.
