Valve sends word that the promised Steam
pre-orders for Half-Life 2 are now underway. As described in the announcement
about the pre-order plans (story), Counter-Strike: Source is
included in all three different levels of participation, and this updated
version of the tactical combat mod that comprises Half-Life 2 multiplayer is
available immediately.

Releasing in the middle of the day didn't help.
They should have turned it on at 6am or something, that way the west coast would still be sleeping. Everyone in the country is hammering their servers at the same time.

if I buy a silver account today and download all this stuff off Steam... will I be able to play CS:Source today? (assuming the servers are up)

Next time, try waiting a day or two until things have settled down a bit.
I have just purchased this now (silver package) and now I will commence on FREAKING OUT.

I agree! Not only is it gonna be some smalltime fun revisiting HL with snazzy new visuals, it'll be interesting to see how it holds up to current FPS fare.

Any idea when Valve might release HL-Source? I am torn between the Steam Silver version and the vanilla Retail version. Can't decide

Well, it's supposed to be in the CE box that I ordered, so I'm assuming when HL2 ships...
And Blue, I followed your link, but all I see is HL2 - did I miss something?
Thanks!
