Counterstrike: Source Available on Steam -- 5:35 pm CST, Update by The Master

That's right, you can reserve your copy of Half-Life 2 on Steam, and start playing Counterstrike: Source (the multiplayer portion of HL2) right now. The basic package (HL2 + Counterstrike) is going for $49.95. You can get two other packages for $59.95 (includes the basic package plus the original games using the new Source engine), or the swanky edition for $89.95 that has a whole slew of HL2 merchandise. Have fun.

A.T. Hun comments: Eh. I still want some physical media. I can't imagine how long it would take to pull that top package down, especially when a slew of people are trying to do it at once. It's not like they can just set up a torrent.

The Master comments: That is the downside of the Steam method of delivery. There's no way to take advantage of the bazillion PCs pulling downloads from your servers. Too bad. Personally, however, I don't mind Steam delivery, so long as I have an easy, reliable way to refetch if something happens to my machine. I don't want to be in Symantec-land begging someone to please listen to me, I need to get my software back, please, please.
