       Topic: Half-Life 2 - A couple questions     Posted: 15/September/2005 at 11:39am | 
 
 
  
   
	
   I've been thinking about picking up Half-Life 2 lately, and I see people are selling cd-keys on ebay for around $20. They say all you need is this cd-key to play, but I don't really see how without the cd's or any actual software. 
Anyone know if this cd-key only stuff is legit, and if so how do I actually get Half-Life 2? 
Second... anyone have a CD-KEY I can use for free?

   THey are probbaly selling STEAM account keys, which is how I got my Half LIfe 2 when it was released.  
I would personally buy the Silver package through Steam, Preach, so that way when Day of Defeat comes out... you'll get that too.

   You can find HL2 in retail for $29... 
 
$10 is worth not dealing with the hassle, imho.

   Sol... I'm in Korea. My options are very limited as to where I can find the game "retail". Any online store wants too much money to ship to an APO address, even though it is a US postal address.

   I had to go through the steam way considering when I purchased my 9800xt I got a willie wonka golden ticket stating I got HL2 free when the game comes out!  I had that ticket for over a year before they finally released it!  lolz

   I don't even want to get involved in that whole Lineage 2 deal. World of Warcraft, Lineage 2, and Starcraft are like national sports here in Korea. They just can't get enough of it.

Yeah.. I can't wait until I read the next article about a guy falling over dead in an internet cafe playing a game 5 days straight!
