All Weekend, Valve’s Games Will Be Crazy Cheap

2:30PM August 15, 2009 | Luke Plunkett

Valve are saying “to hell with third party Steam sales” this weekend, as their digital download store plays host to an in-house firesale, with Half-Life, Counter-Strike and Team Fortress products all going for a song.

All standalone Half-Life titles (including Team Fortress Classic) are a whopping 66 per cent off, meaning you can buy all seven of them for just $US17. Or if you want to be selective, Half-Life will cost you $US3.40, Half-Life 2, $US6.80.

Also on sale is the “Valve Complete Pack”, which bundles *deep breath* Counter-Strike, Team Fortress Classic, Day of Defeat, Deathmatch Classic, Half-Life: Opposing Force, Ricochet, Half-Life, Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, Half-Life: Blue Shift, Half-Life 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life: Source, Day of Defeat: Source, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, Half-Life Deathmatch: Source, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Portal, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead.

Phew.

You can get that pack for $US90.

    Team Fortress Classic only has a discount when it’s in a package with HL or the Valve complete pack. Cant get a discount when you buy it standalone.

      I’m a console gamer, and also have a steam account, we get the best of both worlds, you’re the one getting screwed limiting yourself to PC only.

    Kind of makes me sore to think I paid $120 for the HL2 collector’s edition, but then, that was several years ago now.
