Will it be in stores or on steam?

[maaatt]

Well i know this is a stupid question but will you have to buy the game from the shops or will it be released on steam as soon as it hits 4th nov, cause i want to get it on steam :P i know its in stores obviously lol! :D

[DeMoNsXWiThInnX]

It will Prabably Be relased Nov 4th. Becuase no 1 has mentiond nething about it being held longer in steam. Only in the UK and such.

[one of them]

Every ValvE game is also released for download on Steam. I will be purchasing form the store because I am getting both PC, and 360 versions. But yeah, it will be available on Steam.

Awww man if it releases late in the UK and i have to wait thats crap but im sure it will be a preloader option when it does go steam it has to go on steam im sure it will

Love steam and I will be going all the way with it...that said it took me 20 of the most stressful minutes of my life to get the orange box unlocked ;)

"Steam service is busy try again in a few minutes"

EDIT: BTW, steam is owned by VALVe and it cost them less for someone to download it via steam than it does to put that box on the shelf at the store.

If the developer is VALVe, its on steam first and then maybe in stores.

Nope. They've announced it, but haven't implemented it yet.

Rawr, I think I will buy it by Steam or I will wait World Wide release :<. But I think paying by dollars will be better, because in my country it will be like R$ 110

[maaatt]

Its actully quite simple. they give you like 5 disks. ( sometimes ) and on like the 3rd mabey 4th disk. On the back of the ackage thers a code, You just type what the numbers/letters are.

Don't do it man! You've got your whole life ahead of you!

I think I'll buy the box. Steam is great but I like having the actual thing in my hands when it comes to games I've been wanting for ages.

[Stupoider]

Heh, I suck with boxes.

Always losing disks here. You can imagine how happy I was when I found out that I could actually digitally download games over Steam.

Lol im pritty good my games never loose them keep them in good condiotion. Excpet when my freinds come over..zz they take a game out and set it on the consle or w/e. and i make it a very high point to put it back in the case and yet they dont zzz makes me mad xD.

[Tyr]

...zzz...
Are you like, sleep-typing or something?

Anyway Stupo if you buy the Box and install it on Steam you don't need the disk to play it which is handy. One could question the point of buying a disk since you don't really need it but hey, I'm a materialistic person.

[DeMoNsXWiThInnX]

Are you like, sleep-typing or something?

no when i type zzz. like i dont like my friends doing that zzz.

I mean zzz as Lame.

[TheBeast]

R$? reais? are you from brazil too? Yeah first brazilian ppl (besides me xD) i see in this forum!

And unfortunately it seens like the game's price will cost something around 100R$ really =/ if it gets cheaper in steam i will probabbly buy from there.

[Jesus123]

Im getting Left 4 Dead a week early :D

Lets just say the people at my Wal-Mart are retarded and will grab anything from the back if you ask them....

I was pissed when i bought the orange box last year. I had it reserved at EB 'cause i was given a gift card for my birthday. When i bought it, I payed a total of 57.99 cnd+ tax. i could have bought, and preordered for 45.00 us (the cnd dollar was worth more than the US at the time) from Steam and participated in the TF2 beta. 'cause of the gift card it was only 40.00 out of my pocket but was still angry that it was so much. To add insult to injury i passed by walmart the next day and saw the orange box for 45.00 cnd.

So the short answer is i am buying this game from steam. I am also never going to buy a new PC game from EB.
