See, I figured Half-life 2 would come out indeed on the 30th via steam (before this little email) and go Gold at the same time.
So I went ahead and ordered my new fucking high end system so it would arrive a week after the 30th, that way it would leave time for it to arrive in stores...
Now I am totally fucked, in 2 months the price of the pc I bought would have lowered by a couple of hundred, and new better hardware would be available.
I could care less if half-life was delayed BUT they fucking should have said something way earlier because I know others that have upgraded or bought new pc's and it was just a waste of money.
