Probably gonna buy Vampire tonight...but play HL2. Lookin' forward to it.

Left it unlocking before coming to work this morning - was taking ages, and I don't think it was because of bandwidth issues either. Makes me sad for those with 56k. Not too much, tho

Anyone know if the boxed set is just the bronze? It's kist I quite fancy trying DOD Source. i've heard a few good things about it, altough the screenies look whack.

Standard box is Bronze. You can buy the Collectors Edition from some Game stores, apparently, which is Silver.

HL: Source is out now, DOD isn't yet available.

Went and bought my copy from PC world just now, £29.99. It's the DVD version, so i'm assuming it's the special edition with HL source, etc.

No it's just HL2 and CS : Source. No HL1 Source or DOD Source.
