Ok i went to EB and purchased the HL2 CE. $120.00 Canadian "Ouch"

So what does this CE edition come with?

I know it comes with HL2 and CSS,but what about the rest of the games.

Would i get Half Life,DOD,CSCZ etc etc and will i get HLS,DODS,TF2,or will i need to buy these add ons later?

:hail:

You spent 120 Canadian on something but you don't know exactly what? I'm sorry, but that's just plain stupid.

Seem like im getting burnt for buying the retail boxed collectors edition.

What do u guys think of this?

Is Vivendi/Sierra giving us the shaft?

And that DOD Is Made by Activision?

"Retail Box Versions Vs Steam" Is that the reason for the lawsuit?

Another thing i seen. If u have Steam already installed u lose your old key if u buy any of the packages! :hmm:
