Bough Civ 4 complete today, but my downloads are going horribly slow, got a 20mbit line but im only getting 100-200 kb\s. (This might have something to do with my ISP ****ing me over lately)
You arent alone, my supposed Cap is at 8mb/sec or so they say, i've never downloaded anything ever, faster than ~800kbs. Anytime i see people speak of 1.5mb/sec or faster i wonder what planet i have to fly to get speeds like that out of a DSL or Cable connection.
IIRC, Black Box and Orange Box will be available over Steam, but Orange Box is now going to be the only one available for retail, ie, Black Box was cancelled from retail.
nope, black box is canned completely, only way you can still get it is through the voucher with an HD2900.
Steam listed the prices for those who dont want to "rebuy HL2 +EP2" and those ripoff prices are 30 for TF2, 30 for EP2, 20 for Portal, just like i guessed they would do. Granted my price estimations actually turned out conservative. They're basically forcing you to buy Orange box, and whether you like it or not, its not a bad deal, regardless of what you perceive yourself as being forced to rebuy. They should of just said HL2/EP1 included free to keep people quiet because thats basically what they did.
