U.S Version and Steam

[hiro]

steam is awesome but

for my copy of halflife 2 and portal 1 + 2 , I like the patches.

But since my pc sucks, I've had to reimage it a few times.

my experience with steam is the convenience, but sometimes its glitchy. About 40 ish or half my game installs via steam d/l have some glitch vs me doing DVD install + patching on my own.

i'm all about a hard copy, plus even if you have a 10 mb/s d/l it still takes years and you can't surf the net on it.

My gaming buddies gave up on steam for their main source for games as multi gig d/w (they are hardcore games, they work and game) as the ISP slap them with fees or low ball their d/l for breaking their limits . . .

I freaking love Steam to, I'm to the point I won't buy a game if its not on there. No messing with updates, login to any PC to access your games, unlimited D/L's, Deals, No stacks of game boxes in my office...whats not to like
