April 21, 200421 yr A few weeks ago i bought an ati 9800 xt (asus). If you buy an ati card there is a coupon in the package, that allows you to get Halflife 2 for free, when its out sometimes in the future (and we all know, future can be a long time). Now i wanted to preorder HL2. Beside the fact that you have to sent many papers (receipts and things from the card package), i saw yesterday, that it could be, that you have to wait 4 until 6 weeks (after the game is out) before the game is delivered. Sorry Ati, when a new game is out and especiallay a game like Halflife 2, its not very nice to wait so long. Meanwhile all friends have played the game trough. And i have to wait ? Next time, i will think a little bit longer about such a "free coupon" thing. And when i look at the new Nvidia Card, i think the decision will be a little different, which card i will buy. It doesnt matter, if ati has perhaps a faster card. Ati, thats not the way to keep customers.
April 21, 200421 yr ok... whatever.They are giving you a $60 (cdn) game. And you complain. Why not buy it yourself then?The modern world... complaining about everything and anything.
April 21, 200421 yr Wasenotstock. They might give u an expired coupon for hl2. BUT WHEN I BOUGHT MY NVIDIA G4TI4600 they gave me Live Forever and Comanche3 in the Box!!!!!.
April 21, 200421 yr IIRC correctly you can have it shipped or you can DL it from the site when it comes out.
April 21, 200421 yr LOL, the HL2 coupon is expired and the game hasn't even been released yet? Talk about the perfect scam
April 21, 200421 yr I got my 9600 that came with it and I have no clue what you mean by "expire". It says no where on it that it will expire in 2003, it states "Please note, your FREE copy of Half-Life 2 will be sent to you once the game is made publicly availible." It comes with an activation code as well, something I'm guessing that will not expire by the time it comes out (though I may by then).
April 21, 200421 yr Ay. I knew that These guys are confusing, Faktor. Probably don't even have the slip of paper
April 21, 200421 yr Bah, just buy a Gigabyte card! I got a 9600 Pro, and it came with Rainbow Six 3, Will Rock, and the newest Tomb Raider game (which kinda sucks :-P). All that and a decent card for $150 (US)...
April 22, 200421 yr Gigabyte did my mobo, works well, and I am not gonna loose that slip of paper, ever since I started playing HL back in 98 I've loved it, and when I found out there was gonna be a second one I knew I had to get it immedietly.
April 22, 200421 yr Author The coupons doesnt expire, i checked that. And i forgot thats its possible to download the game, but you have also send some things, to get the download. For me, i like to have always the original cd, including the package. By the way WSAENOTSOCK: Its a modern world, yes. Its FREE SPEECH too (well, in some countries) and sometimes complaining is ok (not all the time). And yes, i will buy the game immediately, when its in the stores.
April 22, 200421 yr Author HaHaHaHa, Wellsy. That was great. I will give my coupon to a friend of mine, you can wait for the game.
