<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>Valve announces free bonuses for owners of ATI Radeon accelerators:
May 30, 2007 - ValveÂ®, a leading entertainment and technology studio, today announced plans to deliver free games to all owners of ATI Radeonâ„¢ graphics cards via Steam, a leading online platform for the distribution and management of digital content.

Effective immediately, all owners of ATI Radeon graphics cards may receive a free copy of Half-LifeÂ® 2: Lost Coast and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch via Steam, <a href="http://www.steampowered.com/ati_offer1a/" target="_blank">http://www.steampowered.com/ati_offer1a/</a>. Steam will automatically confirm the presence of ATI Radeonâ„¢ hardware and then enable immediate access to full versions of the games free of charge.

For added convenience to new purchasers of ATI Radeonâ„¢ products, Steam will be included in all ATI Catalystâ„¢ Software and Driver packages through early 2008.

And, as recently announced by AMD, customers who purchase the new ATI RadeonT HD 2900 XT will also receive, upon release via Steam, the highly anticipated trio of new games coming from Valve: Team FortressÂ® 2, Portalâ„¢, and Half-Life 2: Episode Two.

Some conditions apply. Customers will be required to download and install the Steam software, and will require an Internet connection.

I've had a quick look on the news page but can't find any info yet! H

So would you be able to download it on a machine with a Radeon Gfx and then install it on a machine with an Nvidia Gfx?

I'd like to know that aswell, I presume that if you use the same steam account then you'd at least have them unlocked. just wonder whether you'd be able to play.

Yeah but if you already have HL2 you can get those two games for free anyway...

I suppose the offer is okay because you get HL2 & HL2:Ep1 half price... Is HL2: Episode 1 any good? Is it a big add-on?

I don't have HL2
