    I also agree that steam is awesome.

    Especially when you get a new computer and can just set it to download all your games overnight.

    It's amazing.

    Maybe two years ago that would have been a valid comment. But nowadays Steam and Stardock Central (and soon Impulse) are great vehicles for downloading gaming media. And hey, it's not Sony DRM. ;)

    Yeah I used to not be a huge fan of Steam but they've really done fantastic things with the content delivery system and Steam Community. You log in, check your friends list and see a couple buddies on TF2, and in a minute and a half you're playing with them in a server.

    Well, the bright side is that you've been able to play if for a few weeks already! At least that's what I've been telling myself...

    I got my PS3 version for £26 a couple weeks ago from the interwebs. Not too bad. I don't buy games for my laptop ever since I smashed it in a rage back in March.

    At Game shops here in London, Orange Box was £45 for PS3. That's $90!!! Like wtf?! Just ridiculous.
