All of the new XT range come with free HL2 voucher. Its supposedly because Valve supports ATi, basically because most of their cards piss all over the GeForce cards. Valve noticed this and they got into an agreement.

Yes, ATI have a strong link with valve so they decided that they would package the halflife 2 game with the Radeon 9800 XT. However, as you probably know, the game was delayed. So, in exchange for a game, they put a voucher in the package, so when it eventually does get released - you can pickup the game anyway.
Yeah i know, i only bothered mentioning the 9800 though. Also, valve not only supports ati, they are almost connected with them when it comes to HL2. The Radeon 9800 XT (best card currently offered by ati) doesn't "piss all over the geforce cards", the Geforce fx 5950 ultra is very good competition for it. In fact, the 5950 will often show better performance than the 9800 xt.
