    Next to impossible to get in a bricks and mortar shop, Play . com had it for €12 a while back.

    Was looking for it in every shop I could think of on Friday, no dice.

    Not sure if this is still available but it hasn't been marked as sold.Worth a shot.

    If its just to play Portal 1 ya can download it on the Xbox live marketplace for about 1200 points. Great game only donwloaded it about a month ago and completed it several times! Highly addictive!

    I'm guessing this one is gone as no replies from the seller for a few weeks.
    Thats one thing that bugs me about adverts, sellers dont close there for sale items when they sell it, stuff on there from 2 years ago with people still asking if for sale.

    Yeah it is to play portal but I have never played Half Life either and I would rather have a boxed copy than a d/l copy.

    Thanks for all the advice guys, I guess I will just keep an eye out for a copy.
    Also, cant buy a copy online as dont have a credit card, unless there is a website somewhere in ireland that has a copy and take Laser...

    Yeah,I agree with you there mate.A real pain in the a$$:mad:The seller was even on line today.You could try sending PM. Also you could post a Wanted ad on adverts.That might get you a copy. gamesnash.ie is an ok site and I think they accept laser but they don't have a copy available at the moment.

    I have the empty orange box case :mad:
    darn kids!

    Bargain for five games in one! (Ok debatable that two of those five are just expansions for Half Life 2, but they're still epic in every sense of the word!).

    Team Fortress 2 is a good laugh for an online multiplayer shooter. And Portal one is short but insane to play.

    <chants> Get it, get it, get it!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,276 ✭✭✭readyletsgo


    Lol cause I only have a 14" telly box at the moment, very hard to read text and get the whole feel of the game on something that small, so going to wait till then to start it.

    Hmm, ah well, guy sold it to me for a 10'r anyways so no harm done.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,276 ✭✭✭readyletsgo

    HL2, looks, brilliant! I'm a slow gamer, so going to get a lot out of this box!
