I did a search, and seriously didn't find this...so heres the information.
I have been seeing questions where people have wondered if we (steam preloaders) will get HL2 by the retail release date.
November 16. There, I said it. It's been an unbelievably long and twisted road, but according to Vivendi, Half-Life 2 will be available both in stores and over Valve's Steam delivery service in less than a month. It'll be very interesting to see how well Steam does with such a major release. With the immediate appeal of getting to play Counter-Strike: Source upon pre-ordering via Steam, it's already a more compelling offer than waiting to buy it in stores. Digital distribution proponents are most certainly keeping both eyes peeled to see how this all shakes out.
