Half-Life 2, $19.99 @ Fry's -- still $49.95 via Steam download !!

HL2 is $19.99 @ Fry's this weekend. On www.steampowered.com it is
still $49.95 (Bronze).

For those that think that download from the developer is the <only>
way to go for computer game purchases in the future... think again.
Unless you are totally stupid or made of money. Reckon in the
developer greed and the monopoly position. Fortunately, Valve is a
classic example of the worst in terms of developer greed and thus
we are all forewarned that the future utopia of downloaded-only
computer games from a non-competitive source is a dusty mirage
for all except the financially well-heeled.
