That would suck pete, speak no more blasphemy.
Well I dont have to worry about preordering it becasue I bought it through Steam so once I wake up Ill be playing HL2. Hehe, so exciting.
Thats amazing! In just ONE shop or was it the branch? Hehe, I walked into a shop selling games on Nov 9th when Halo 2 was released and the shop was stacked full of games, not many people. No lines or anything like over there in the US. Not long to go now fellers.
OMG OMG JUST 2 DAYS!!! That's a lot of HL2! Now Holden, multiply how much money they'll make!!!
