Post by darkjedi @ 08:32am 25/04/09 | 32 Comments
If you don't have the Orange Box, now's the time to grab it! Steam's Weekend Deal this weekend is the OB for 66% off, which translates into the price being US$9.99.

So that's Team Fortress 2, Portal, Half-Life 2 + Episode 1 & 2 for just under AU$15 or so. Definitely no excuse not to grab it if you've been meaning to pick them up! promoted/edited forum item

Back when it was first released in 2007 you could pick the orange box up for $50 and it was a bargain at that price as well.

Well I got it and I already have HL2, it popped up and said since I own one of the games already I can give someone else a full copy (of HL2) as a gift now.

Only thing i didnt have was portal/eps. For that price it was still worth it

Portal is definitely worth it for that price. Getting the rest of the stuff is a bonus!

I got it on release (I think it worked out to be AU$55 at the time and that was easily the best money I've ever spent on a game, I already had HL2 and EP1. Portal was awesome and I still play TF2 daily, it would have been worth it for TF2 alone, you'd be an idiot for passing this up and should be banned permanently from this forum if you don't.

That is all

Yep just got it myself - too good a deal to pass up.

There is an internode steam server, right? Is there a way to connect to it and not have the downloads count to your cap?

Yep - View -> settings -> downloads. it's not 100% reliable but will improve your chances.

Apparently Internode don't count data from any Australian content server towards your cap, so even if you get an iiNet or GameArena server, you should be fine.

How can you tell which one it is downloading from once it starts?

Sorry, Steam nubcake!

The way I do it is instead of letting it update normally I double click wahtever game it is and it has a advertising window of whatever server it is updating from.

Ohh cool - double click and got the games.on.net thingy.

another way is go into command prompt and type in netstat
to see all connections.. there should be one that says something like steam1.internode.on.net
