    Yep... you read it right.

    The Orange box on Steam is £5.66 on Steam this weekend only!
    I've already got HL2 but for this I can get Team Fortress 2, EP1 & 2 and Portal.

    Chuffed as nuts :jawdrop:

    Anyone who's online and fancies a game of Left 4 Dead can find me as 'Sutters'.
    Can't wait to learn TF2...

    Wow, what a bargain! I've already got all but TF2 but less than £6 for that is grand.

    If you're a PC gamer and you don't have this yet, there's no excuse not to get it this weekend! Well, unless you're broke, that is....

    That is still not a valid excuse. You should sell a body part or something.

    I've still got the original HL on my netbook that I got for 80p when they were doing the $1 offer, only played about 5 mins. :D And yes, it does work, but it has to be plugged in to the mains so its got the full power of 1.6GHz!! :D

    Quick question. I'm downloading Team Fortress 2 now but wondered if anyone had any basic tips before I go online?

    I'm used to Left 4 Dead but have not played this before. Would rather get some practice in before being owned straight away online!

    TF2 - Try out the Classes, find a few you like. Learn the Maps and game modes. Just have fun.

    You dont get Owned in TF2, its a very team based game, your not trying to kill anyone, just trying to do what you need to do, so your not gonna get owned, if you just play!

    That's a bloody bargain. Already got one of my housemates to buy it. I wish I could buy it again for that price... :(

    Agree with the above, at this price theres just no excuse not to press the button.


    I really did get on with TF2 like I thought I would, but HL2:EP2 was worth the asking price on it's own I thought. Absolutely masterful game making.

    TF2 is fun :D I'm not very good but thankfully it plays fine on my slow connection.

    I look forward to being pwned by everyone at the next Games Night!

    I made a new account just to get in on this, think I just caught it in time! Useful bargain for the next time someone needs converting to Steam.

    I'd be tempted to snag it for my home Steam account (as opposed to my Press account) so that I can have the models for use in Garry's Mod...

    ...but I've just moved and don't have internet. :(

    Sign in at work with your home account? :p Assuming you'll be getting the interwebs at some point.

    yeah people don't realise that you can buy the steam products from store.steampowered.com. next time you log into steam, it appears in your games list. i assume they do geographical filtering on IP though.

    Hmm... Even as cheap as it was when I got it from STEAM this past weekend I still ended up getting shafted, since the price was €9.99. That's more than 50% extra...
