Fight the fight of self control. Don't buy it. I'm waiting for TF2 by itself for 29.99 on steam when it's released.
See, I think that is a waste of money...but I intend to play Portal and Ep2 as well.
I guess if you have zero interest in Ep2 or Portal you are saving $15. If so, have at it. Friend of mine is the same way. He is only interested in TF2, never played HL2 or Ep1 and never intends to, so he plans on getting it stand alone as well.
