Valve announces Half-Life yard sale: 66% off! photo

If you're stuck at home with no plans this weekend, things may be looking up more than you think. Steam just announced that they're having a sale this weekend, with everything Half-Life-related selling for 66% off and the Valve Complete Pack selling for 10% off (by the way, the latter includes 3 Counter-Strike titles, 2 Day of Defeat games, Left 4 Dead, Portal, Richochet, both versions of Team Fortress and just about every Half-Life ever made). As RetroforceGO's Topher Cantler would say, ladies and gentlemen, we are having a yard sale.

The complete pack is $89 with the discount, but if that's too rich for your tastes, you can snag stuff like Half-Life 2 for $6.79 and the Half-Life complete pack for $16.99. Those are some seriously solid savings, and as you may already be aware, the Half-Life series comes with a big fat stamp of approval from Dtoid. Check it out if you need a new game to discover.

Shit, now I'm stuck:

Half Life for PS2 (Which I prefer shooters on consoles), or Half Life with a Boot Camp MacBook Pro with these sweet savings.

Somebody help me choose!!!

I grabbed the Orange Box the last time it was on sale, and all the individual Half-Life games when they were on sale the time before that. I couldn't be happier.

I'll tell you what, though -- I think the original Half-Life is the only Valve game that I prefer on a console. The PS2 version was absolutely amazing.

I never turn on my PC but I feel like I should get this.

I think I might hold off until the pack includes L4D2 6 months from now.

Valve really likes people to play their games.. I only wish other developers were that confident.

@Discarded Couch Sandwich - Yea, but Valve consistently makes quality games, they know they are good, other devs, not so much.

How did I miss that picture of Topher on the yard sale sign? Have you used that before? I must be blind.

I rather enjoy HL1 on my Dreamcast more, as well.

I'm probably at least going to spring for the Half-Life collection; I don't exactly have 90 dollars on hand. I don't have the Half-Life 2 episodes on PC nor have I played the original, so this is a decent deal for me.

Is it sad that I already own everything valve makes plus another 100 steam games?

I already own all the half-life games but I'd like to compliment you on that header picture.

It actually made me laugh.

I picked up the HL2 Episodes pack for $6 or so. Now I can finally play that star gazing game, Polaris, that Anthony was talking about last month.

I already fucking got all that. :(

The Orange box I bought full price but I found the original halflife anthology with the box and shit for 5 dollars in a bargain bin.

This is probably the most epic yard sale sign ever and it fits well that you would use it to discribe one of the best selling items all in one. If this isn't more reason for the L4D 2 crybabies out there to shut up. I don't know what is. Valve will always be there for their customers and that's why we should buy everything they make, always.
