Does Hl2 Ship With All 9800 Xt's ?

[**GASHA**]

So can anyone tell me if all Radeon 9800 XT's ship with a free ticket for Half Life 2 ? All the online stores seem to be supplying a voucher for the game when it does finally come out.

[Mr. Elmo]

i guess not <_<

[james_bond_rulez]

yes i got my vocher with my 9800xt

not sure with the 9600xt i guess they give vochers too but not sure ;)

[**GASHA**]

But, did you buy it online ? I bought mine locally.

[james_bond_rulez]

yes i bought my locally, the 9800xt comes in a fansy box and with a vocher inside

[**GASHA**]

Thanx Mr Bond :) It would appear my voucher has been &#39;intercepted&#39; by the good staff at the local shop. I&#39;ll let them know next time I&#39;m in (with my petrol can :) ).

Sierra aren&#39;t making the game-- they are the publisher, not the author. the game is being made by Valve Software, who have a sterling resume that consists of... uh... Half-Life... and... uh... mods for Half-Life. basically they&#39;ve only made one game, previous to HL2. :lol:

it&#39;s easily confused. but yea, sierra is the publisher/marketer/stupid rich shiteads who make &#036; off of what Valve made. Go VALVE. too bad a lot of ppl will dl the game instead of buying it. i&#39;ll buy it if&#39;s its good, and not too easy.

[**GASHA**]

Thanx again for the feedback, cheers AdamP2P for the link, looks like there has been no &#39;interception&#39;(:)) and just a slight change in shipping. I&#39;ll post my SN etc and hope for the best. No doubt I&#39;ll download it when it does come out (unless it will be a global release), but I&#39;ll also buy the original too.

I was under the impression that it gives you a full version of the game, but you have to download it off their webiste at Valve. Or various servers.

[Mad Cat]

You may download it, along with the rest of the HL series, or you can get it sent by mail.

I&#39;ll scan in my voucher if possible...

10 mins and I should have it up :)


Stupid me lost the power cable. Oh well. I&#39;ll have another look and if not I&#39;ll get one later.

it is the full game

a note to **GASHA** : did u get the gfx card from ATI or from a 3rd party?

if the voucher is NOT included, and youi have the "Built by ATI" 9800xt, RETURN IT IMMEDIATELY AND REPORT THEM TO ATI AND THE BBB&#33;&#33;&#33; the voucher specifically says that the game cannot be returned if it is not included, and this means that the retailers who sold u the card did 1 of two things: they accepted the card as a return w/o the voucher (a violation)
they removed the card before they sold it to you (a MAJOR VIOLATION)
in both cases, both ATI and the BBB need to be notified.
