This is addressed to those who still haven't gotten Half Life 2 yet. Grab anyone going to Thailand and make them get one for you there.
It costs S$24 there.
What? That hasn't sunken in yet? Let me put things into perspective with some numbers. All figures are in Singapore dollars.
Half Life original in Singapore costs S$50+.
The bootleg version costs S$30, since there are 5 CDs at $6 each.
That's right, the original version in Thailand costs less than the pirated version in Singapore. What does all these mean in Pounds/US and Canadian dollars? Do the damn conversions yourself. I can only assume it's even cheaper for you guys.
Be sure to buy the Thai version though, the English version costs just as much as it does in Singapore. The Thai version comes with very clear installation instructions in English and teaches you how to select English(Or 15 other languages) for playing the game. The only disadvantage ever is the back cover of the CD and the box itself being in Thai, but it's a game, not an ornament.
Get it fast, it's getting sold out like a motherfucker over there.

Yeah.
I'll run right out, find the first person I bump into that's going to Thailand, and make sure to have them pick it up.
As far as I'm concerned, that scenario is more feasible than getting the stupid game in the first place is desirable.

People should pay for quality games like this.

Valve is still getting paid whether you buy from America or Thailand. It's only when you buy from pirates do they lose money.

Unfortunately most of them got washed away in the tsunami. The remaining ones are selling for a million dollars each due to the shift in the supply/demand curve.

Damn that sucks. Then again, Valve isn't particularly known for its storylines, Blizzard is. Shoot kill shoot kill shoot kill sounds good enough, given the graphics.

Bought it, completed it, wasn't impressed.
For all the hype it got, it was a fucking dive. The plot was half "1984", half Schwarzenneger movie, and it left so many questions unanswered that it just became a run and shoot game with some irritating puzzle in the middle regarding a giant bridge.
The only redeaming factor was the engine. Jesus is this game beautiful... I hope Half Life 3 will make a better attempt at a story line.
