The Half-Life 2 offers have been finalized. Details are pasted below. The Steam offers will be available for purchase next week. Those who purchase via Steam, will receive the final version of Counter-Strike: Source immediately. Half-Life 2 and other games in the Steam offerings will be made available to purchasers upon their release.

This is very good information indeed. If CS:S is going to be available from next week for orders of HL2 on Steam, Vivendi would have to be absolutely bonkers to delay the release of HL2 as they will lose millions in lost sales due to everyone ordering via Steam to get CS:S early.

I would like the collectors. However I ordered mine last year so im guessing I will be getting the Standard Edition. If www.game.net update their site with the new packages ill try to cancel and order the Collectors Edition.
