This deal includes all ATI Radeon cards ever produced!

DOUG LOMBARDI from Valve has announced that this game developer/publisher has reached an agreement with AMD/ATI. The cooperation will result in owners of ATI Radeon cards getting some content unlocked.
To be more precise, Half Life 2: Lost Coast Tech Demo and Half Life 2: Multiplayer are unlocked and free for all the folk with ATI cards carrying "Radeon" moniker. Owners of ATi Radeon HD 2900XT will get that cancelled retail package named Black Box, containing Half Life 2: Episode Two, Team Fortress 2 and Portal.

In order to ease the deal, starting from now, ATi Catalyst will come with a bundled installation of Steam. Since Steam is only some 0.6MB in size, it will not increase download by much. This Catalyst+Steam bundling deal will last until mid-2008, but offer for ATI owners will remain – a definite cool move by ATI and Valve folk.
