WOHOO!! I just got the Orange Box off of e-bay for $20.50 shipped!!

I cant wait to get into those games.....Edwards talk of Portal makes me want to play it, and I can't wait to get into episode 2.

I dont figure I will play TF2, my son would love to have that.......anyone know if he can put that game on his account....I mean, will it give that option or do all games have to be on one account?

Hey, I also got Call Of Juarez for like $6.74 shipped!

Hopefully that game registration is not already logged on someone else's account or you will end up with a nice, shiney, orange paperweight!

Nah, he can contact Blizzard and prove he owns the copy. Whoever sold it to him will have a nice, shiny, orange paperweight... well, a no longer working copy anyway.

I just got around installing my game yesterday. Played a few minutes of HL2 episode 1 before I had to stop. I can't wait to try out TF2 as I use to be a big fan of the one on HL1.

Well, I have bought the game from a seller with a feedback of over 25,000....and other peoples games seemed to have worked just fine....hope mine does.

I have just received Call Of Juarez from the same seller....for $6.46 and FREE SHIPPING :p:

All of this sellers stuff has free 1st class shipping.....I am going to be buying lots of stuff from them.

So far I have Call Of Juarez and I have won, but not received yet the following.
1. Orange Box
2. Kane & Lynch Deadmen
3. Unreal Tournament III

now I just need to decide on what new video card to get....I have the money saved up....just can't decide on what card.

What is the seller's address, gridiron? Call of Juarez just might be a good choice for my next game, and you can't beat that price.

Let us know what you think about Portal. I finished that last five-jump puzzle, and it was a doozy, but it was sure satisfying to finally complete it. I'm fooling with the "challenge" levels, now, but I'm finally starting to want something new to play. Good little game, though, and I'll be coming back to it for short spells of entertainment from time to time. Edward.

Is it ok to post the sellers user name here....if so i will post here and you can get some great deals....really nice deals.

Let me know if I can post the seller here...I do not want to get in trouble for spamming or the likes.

Is the seller in the US/are you sure the game is the US version?

On ebay a lot of pc games you will see being sold from Thailand/Singapore, etc where they get games cheaper(their legit games are cheaper because of the piracy in the regions and the avg waiges so they can afford them) or perhaps bootlegs.

With some games, like the Orange box, it's region based so if you try to tie the cd key to a US-based account, it will flag it.

How about this, when the Orange Box comes and you test it and everything is legit, you can post the seller. Deal?

I have not gotten my Orange Box yet, so I can't tell you for sure that it will be a working key, we will see soon.

Call of Juarez is yes indeed from the USA and was not an import.....it has a best buy price tag on it :p:

Only bad thing for me is, my dvd drive just stopped reading my dvd's :mad: It will read my cd's....buy not dvd's.

So I just went and ordered a new one off newegg yesterday....hoping to get it by no later than tuesday.

Sounds okay to me Rob.

I mean I hate to post it and then have someone here get screwed or something....anything could happen....and there is feedback saying that.....but also lots of great feedback.

I will be sure to let you know once I get my Orange Box :):

Those are some pretty sweet deals.

I was going through some of my old computer stuff yesterday trying to organize the mess that I've been avoiding for years and I ran across this pamphlet saying "Get your free copy of The Black Box". So I opened it up and lo and behold it was a promo that came with my video card about a year ago for a free copy of Portal, HL:Ep2, and TF2. I went on Steam and entered the code and it still worked. So I'm downloading and installing it as I type this.

I'm excited to give the "Black" Box a spin as I've been dying to play Portal since it came out.

He has some great deals, going to watch his auctions for Arma.

Is Call of Juarez that good? I liked the demo but the horse riding/stealth part of it where you play the boy instead of the preacher felt...iffy/rough compared to the shooting style of the other character.

I missed out on a copy of Hellgate: London by $0.50. :(: Oh well, I will keep looking.

Yeah, I missed Blacksite-Area 51, when it went above $6, but this is kind of fun. Believe it or not, that was the first time I ever registered and bid on an item on eBay. I'll definitely keep returning to check out the bargains. Edward.

Sweet, thanks to you guys pointing this out I just scored ARMA for 3.52, hell that's about the cost of shipping alone!

They had been goin for around 6-7, I just kept holding off and finally got one for just that and couldn't believe it.

I liked the single mission of Arma....had a long learning curve, and I really sucked at the flying part, but the game was a great experience for me.

Hey Gridiron have you tried out Call of Juarez yet? I'm really enjoying it so far.

I love gunning down the bad guys in Concentration Mode and seeing those headshots in slo-mo is pretty gruesome!

Does anybody know if Call of Juarez plays on Vista 32 all right? Edward.

No, I have not tried it yet, waiting for my new video card to arrive.

I am not sure if Call Of Juarez runs on Vista without problems, Edward.

Maybe someone else can help you out on that.
