Half-Life 2 Camera Contest
I've decided to run a fun contest in hopes of a nice picture because pictures are fun.
What we are looking for is some pictures of someone purchasing Half-Life 2 off of a major
store shelf stocked with copies of Half-Life 2 such as BestBuy/CompUSA or something like that and then taking it home and
installing and pictures of that as well. Something that we can confirm as legit like this guy did in Austria. If he had
pictures of the store and store shelves and his receipt from where he got the game
he would have won today! Where is Half-Life 2 on sale? Check around and find out! Bring
your camera!
What do you win? Well a lifetime Mercury pass and $250 of games from your favorite gaming store.
Where is it? We dont know! Check your local store! The contest ends on Monday the 15th at 2pm CST! The first person with a confirmed entry is of course the winner. This contest is void where prohibited by law. Oh yeah, I upped it to $250 from the original $100 just to be sassy.

I am loyal best buy worker and this his how the whole half life 2 thing got started.
Today during work we get a message on our internal commucation system that basically says. Half life 2 street is now gone rush all product to the floor and sale it.
Then five or six hours later we get this. After talking with the publishers of the game we need to pull all copies of the shelves and wait till tuesday.
That is basically what was said in the mails we got.
I wanted CS source and HL source, but i didn't really want to buy it online (didn't want to download it, and have to burn my own CD). But the box was practically empty. It had 1 dvd, a T-Shirt, and a tiny "strategy guide". Not really worth the money IMHO.
To anyone else thinking about buying the CE, just buy it off steam, you're not getting anything more from the store copy (other than a dvd which you could burn yourself).

Are the Valve guys really out of their minds or are they really thinking ahead of their time and just handling the situation in a poor way?
I mean why the fuck has an internet connection to be required to play solo? The number of people pissed off by this move must be huge...

You may have to copy and paste to get those to work. We got them in last night. Had the normal editions out on the shelves, after a corporate memo said to go ahead and put them out. I just got a call from a coworker who said they just repealed the "go-ahead" and that we shouldn't sell it until tuesday. Woops!

Look at what Waldo writes, im guessing maybe the air over at Valve is that there is no way they are releasing it early.

It is clearly not for "entertainment purposes" only -- unless Steve routinely gives away $250 and lifetime Mercury passes for fun.
If it's to get Valve to unlock early, why try to push them into something they are apparently reluctant (for whatever reasons) to do? It's only three more days anyway.
Just trying to understand the situation here.

Nobody seemed to be paying it any attention, and they had assloads of copies.
