I've played HL, HL2, HL:EP1 and been waiting for EP2 since the minute I finished EP1.... Also used to play TF back in the Quake 1 days... 1996? :D so looking forward to trying that!
When is the Orange Box officially released? Also, does anyone know how many GB the download for this is?
Id rather have a hard copy, but for that price would settle for steam...

Ahhh what happened to the days when I thought I'd never use up my 120mb hard drive :D

Found my old account, and noticed I could download and play HL1, Blue Shift, Opposing Force, DOD and CS!!!! Just tried a few all worked, thats pretty neat!
Preloading TF2 now... whish it would go faster, is there a way? I have set connection at 10mb +... its only doing 500 to 700kb/sec :(

I have 2 computers I wish to install TF2 onto, does anyone know if I can do this without downloading each file twice?

Then simply run the backup on the other pc....
Rather dissapointed in Valve about this... seems just like HL2 back in 2004...
I pre-purchased early to get TF2 today (monday 17th) not tomorrow or another day... they are happy to take payments on the minute, but cannot deliver on their promised and advertised date!
As for different time zones, I think each time zone should have the same release date, weather its GTM or PST doesnt matter, Im happy to wait 8 hours for PST to click over in the states... but being delayed like this is total BS...

I wont get into an argument with you 3 boys, but you can visit steampowered.com and see that it clearly states pre purchased copies will be able to access the beta on the 17th of September, no country specified, steam is worldwide except for German content packs.
Therefore the statement is misleading to the purchaser, whether it be a beta or not.
