    methinks I'll be grabbing the silver assuming they take switch =3

    Hmmm..Silver is practically already Gold since it has almost everything....

    But then again, Gold edition has the 2 posters, and the Prima Strategy guide and whatnot....

    My jaw dropped at first sight of the gold plan, but realistically I'll just go for the collector's edition box. I already own their "back catalog," and with the collector's box I get the physical disc and a t-shirt instead of just a hat. The only loss will be the posters, and with a 42x64 inch image of Shodan gracing the only wide open space of my wall, I don't see where I have room for 3 posters anyway.

    I don't get why boxed versions don't get DoD:Source.


    ...that just doesn't make sense to me <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> . Especially since DoD>CS. They must be crazy (and I figured that if you buy the original game you should be able to just download the mods...but whatever, I don't have a good internet connection here anyway <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> .

    It looks like the Gold version is the one for me. I'd get the collectors edition, but my DVD drive is broken.
  • GadzukoGadzuko Join Date: 2002-12-26 Member: 11556Members, Constellation
    If the posters don't suck, I might get the Gold version. Otherwise, collector's all the way.
  • RellixRellix Join Date: 2003-02-15 Member: 13572Members, Constellation, Reinforced - Shadow
    The big question, will we be able to download the source versions without purchasing gold or silver?

    If not ill go gold, if so ill go collectors.
  • TofumasterTofumaster Join Date: 2004-04-10 Member: 27829Members
    Isn't DOD source going to be free to whoever just buys hl2?

    I can only assume they deliver it to you. Maybe we should ask them to send over the box and manual too <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Hand your parents 70 bucks, and ask to use their credit card. Or, if you're out of the house, mail it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I have my "normal" version of the game reserved @ Gamestop. Can't wait :o

    I hope they release all that other source content on Steam soon after the release... and it better not cost me a dime.

    I might go for the <span style='color:gold'>Gold</span> package because I want to be all 1337'd-out.

    But obviously if it's like $100+ I'll just get the <span style='color:silver'>Silver</span>.

    I really really hope I at least get to play DOD source or HL: Source or something. That's what I was looking forward too. Don't tell me I have to buy the dang thing <i>again.</i> Maybe they'll offer an uprade price.
  • DrSuredeathDrSuredeath Join Date: 2002-11-11 Member: 8217Members
    Really want to know if we'll be able to download DoD:Source, and Half Life: Source, after buying standard edition.

    And the prices.

    Well, looks like I'm gonna be driving down to EB today to cancel my standard retail box order... Yep, Silver for me.

    I bet we get Silver, since the ATI Keys unlock both HL2 AND all of Valve's old stuff, which is what Silver unlocks. However, knowing my luck, now that I've said that, we'll get some version not even on there, and all it will include is HL1, with a "2" mspainted onto the title screen. Oh, and a swift kick and an email saying "ha-ha".
  • NEO_PhyteNEO_Phyte We need shirtgons&#33; Join Date: 2003-12-16 Member: 24453Members, Constellation
    so getting silver gives you access to all the HL1 mods?
  • TommyVercettiTommyVercetti Join Date: 2003-02-10 Member: 13390Members, Constellation, Reinforced - Shadow
    But not the one that really matters. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
