Half Life 2 To Be DVD Only In UK

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday October 5, 2004 @02:55AM from the upgrade-to-access-headcrabs-plz dept.

Thanks to Halflife2.net, who today recieved word from game retailers that, at least in the UK, Half Life 2 will only be available via DVD. This is evidently becoming common for US games in Europe, as FarCry was not released on CD in Europe either.

Like laser beams in your morning coffee and jetpack rides to the office.

You have to remember than I'm an unemployed college student and a compulsive spender. If I have $3 in my pocket in the morning, by noon I'll have a six-pack in my fridge. For something to be a reasonable purchase for me, it has to cost less than a six-pack, or I'll never save up enough for it.
