The previously announced September 30th release date for Half-Life 2 is being pushed back. We are currently targeting a holiday release, but do not have a specific "in-store" date to share at this time. We will release that information as soon as we have confirmed a new date.

oh well... gives us all time to finish Max Payne 2 a couple of times

Damn.
Oh well, at least I'll be back from Italy by then and be able to play it at the same time as everyone else.
Might even be a home owner by the time it comes out :D
Mmm 1 or 2 Mbit ADSL :p

That wouldn't be too bad of a deal Arris. Good luck with that after you get done in Italy.

Yeah...hope it all goes well mate
