If you already have decided on purchasing the Orange Box this coming Tuesday you can save $5 on your purchase if you're willing to pre-order the game at Gamestop. From now through October 9th (the game's release date) Gamestop is willing to chop $5 off the game's price if you plop down a few bucks on an Orange Box pre-order. True, $5 isn't all that much of a savings, but if you're already purchasing the game then why not save a few bucks and treat yourself to a McFlurry or a few lottery tickets with your cash savings. There's no need to thank us, we're always looking out for ways to keep your wallet from becoming empty. That's just the kind of bloggers we are.[Thanks, BostonKingB]

They did have $10 off a while back but I missed out... going to wait now for a sale or price drop which I think will come fast (hoping anyhow). 5 games for $60 is a good deal but 5 for $45-50 is better ha...

Half-Life will never achieve the success Bungie had with the Halo series. Don't get me wrong, Half-Life is/was a better FPS than Halo but it's day of glory came and went years ago.

Well if you are a Costco member then you can get it for about 54$ but you have to be a member.

@8 - What does Halo have to do with a $5 off Half-Life news post? It wasn't a post comparing the two, or saying one is better than the other.

The game comes out on Wednesday the 10th, not Tuesday the 9th.
And Half-Life 2 was infinitely better than any of the Halo games. It's more than the generic FPS Halo is. What Halo has going for it is multiplayer. Halo 3's singleplayer looks like crap when compared with HL2's.

I don't even know how Halo got involved in this convo, especially when looking at 8's comment. You can believe whatever you want to believe, but I believe Halo is a much better game in both the single player and the multiplayer than Half-Life. Calling Halo a generic FPS is just ignorant, and basically nullifies any further comment you have on either game.

I remember when they compaired halo 2 with half life 2 and half life was way superior to halo. I personaly think the half life series is way better then halos.

Personally, I think single player wise, the Half-Life series has god awful stories.
If you can even call them that. Shallow pieces of crap that walk the god damned elitist line with their noses stuck high in the air yammering on about things like "Immersion" that really translate into "We're too lazy to make a good story, so we want to pretend we're better than that.".
Don't get me wrong.
The Halo series has pretty bad stories. But hey, at least they try.
