Bronze/Standard=50 bucks
Collecters/Silver=80 bucks
Gold= 90-100?

Opinions?

I say BS.

I thought iD was a bit money hungry for 55 bucks, i still love unreals 40 bucks,

but seeing this BS for up to 100 bucks... BS, Valve is just some money hungry piece of shit.

80-100 bucks? this is going to be BS.
when they start selling DoD Source and HL1 source as additions, to get up to 100 bucks per HL2 issue, and throwing in BS no one wants like the shirts, valve is just a money hungry bitch.

100 bucks for all HL2 features?
30 bucks for all Unreal2k4 features and promised FREE downloads off all aditional content released in box copies in the future(ie Editors choice)?

It had better be flat our amazing to be more then 3 copies of Unreal2k4.

If valve were to release TFC source, instead of releasing it free content like BF42 or Unreal's devs do, they would probably charge people 30 bucks to get it, because all they care about is making money, and ripping people off.
and Valves fanboys would just be amazed at it, only 30 bucks! lol
or if they did release it for free,(which i HIGHLY HIGHLY DOUBT) all teh fanboys would claim it as proof they are the best. yeye, rehash!
