Another countdawn... no not HL2 or TG

I know but all the other long countdowns are depressing...lol. This one is nice and short..... instant payoff almost.
 
bout 10 more hours till i can get it...but thats 3 in the moring screw that i got tests
 
Don't you have to register Halflife 2 online to even play single player? If so, you'll be able to download it off of Suprnova Kip, but not play it. :p

I'm definetly going to buy HL2 though - I am more than willing to pay $60 for a game with that ammount of passion and hard work behind it. Besides, Gabe Newell probably wants another sandwich. :p
 
I'm sure smart-ass crackers will do something about this registration thing in no time :)
Cuz buying a game is a luxury very few ppl around here can afford... My monthly salary is around $400, and I am a very well paid software engineer whose friends always envy for his *high salary* I can't pay $60 for a game :cry:
 
The game costs $60 Canadian.

Wouldn't it be a different price in Egypt - something more proportionate to your salaries?
 
Unfortunately this kind of luxury does cost a different price in Egypt, and it's not cheaper as you might think. It's actually more expensive
A PS2 for example costs the equivalent of $350 US here, I got my Geforce Ti4200 2 years ago from the US and it cost me around $200 US, here it was priced at $400 US and very rare...
The thing is that very few stores get these things because they know it has very very little market... and when they do they charge you more than a 100% more because they know that their customers are the rich millionaire kids who can afford to pay for these stuff so they overcharge... it's a mess
I asked about a Radeon 9700 around here around 2 months ago, the store had only one piece and wanted to sell it at $700 US!! and of course they haven't heard of an X800 or a Geforce 6800 just yet
 
:shock:

holy shit that sucks.

I thought Egypt had some rich fuckers like south africa and stuff.. the petrol arab people you know? (sorry, don't know the word for that in english, don't intend to offend anyone)
 
hehe no prob...
No the "petrol arab" ppl are in the gulf region. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, and some others. We are the non-petrol arabs here :)
And yeah it sucks.. you guys should be thankful you were not born in a 3rd world country :)
 
That is REALLY fucked up, you just work a whole month to get a PS2?!

I guess if they lowered the prices of games and consoles in Egypt, everybody will buy one in Egypt and ship it over..right?
 
you work a whole month to get a PS2 provided that you don't eat, pay bills or anything :)
And my salary is not the norm, most of my friends are happy to make half that, I am considered a very highly paid person specially considering my age (I'm 24)

I dunno about that problem, but electronics are always cheaper in the US than in Europe for example and not everybody buys stuff from the US to ship it over... I dunno how that works out I am not very good at economy...
Anyway it's really fucked up here as you guys sad, that's why I'm pursuing jobs abroad now... Wish me luck :)

P.S.
Cash donations will be accepted and used for buying a PS2, Steering wheel and Gran Turismo 4 :p
 
Yeah, I'm surely thankful for that :) Although being an "arab" never makes it easy for getting someone abroad to employ you but i'm trying my best and keeping my fingers crossed
 
Yeah, i know u have to activate it, but comon, its hl2, every crackers group is at it as we speak, one may have succeded:

not sure if it works though.
im downloading HL2 through steam now.
ill find out if it works soon enough...
 
I really do hope no one can figure out how to crack Half-Life 2.

I'll admit I download games, but when a game has this much passion and hard work in it, I'm really against piracy. Vavle deserves your $50-60.
