Half-life 2 available for preloading
Half-life 2 is available for preloading through Steam this afternoon. But the server has been overloaded ever since. Maybe I can get it tomorrow. 
And then play right when it's available, hehe.

Very Nice. I was actually sent a copy of Counter-Strike: Source via email through steam. Valve provided me with a cd key code to give it a tryout. I haven't used it yet, but i'm told its based on the Half-Life 2 engine, but its Counter-Strike.

The half-life 2 engine for Counter-Strike already is out, but I believe its for HL2 Vouchers and Press only. I can't clarify, but the only reason why I got a CS: Source beta was due to falling under "press" release.

Too bad I can't see HL2, I'd pay for it and download it in a heartbeat.

Where do you input the HL2 Voucher Activation code once you get it? From the ATI XT cards?

I got the Counter-Strike: Source beta because I fall under the category of "Press" due to my gaming network. I have the email below that Valve sent my email.

I am not a gamer, but any stretch of the imagination, but I have played HL2 and must say, I was pretty impressed with it. It still has a lot of bugs (a bit more than I would be comfortable with, releasing the the masses) but the graphics and performance are pretty darn impressive.

Hmm... *****-******-****-*****-***** creates an error for me when I try it. I think they sent you a bad code Kerry.
