Yep, if you purchase the game online you can get it for as 'little' as 26 quid. Although the cheapest I have seen it for is £27 at retailers like Amazon and SimplyGames. Maybe the price has dropped for it. Dont know. In some high street stores, I have seen this game going for £39.99. Id rather pay for my PS2 Games at that price. Just does not feel natural paying that price for a PC Game.

Based on what I can tell, there is no difference between the bog standard retail and the Bronze Package on steam. 1 thing that I would consider is this. When Half-Life 1 got released on Steam (at the same time as when Steam Launched and not to be confused with Half-Life Source), Valve downsampled the audio horribly. Maybe they have done the same with Half-Life 2 in order to keep the size of the download 'small'?
