No Half-Life 2 is NOT out next week. You will be able to purchase either the Bronze, Silver or Gold options (Detailed above) over Steam, ready for the release. This will mean you get to play Counter-Strike Source straight away, and then HL2 as soon as it is released to the general public.[/quote:896cc]
