What about portal?

I'm going to just get Team Fortress myself since I have the other games on 360 and I don't think it's worth it to have them on the computer. Besides, I want to download Portal from XBLive for the new achievements anyway, so I don't need three copies of the same games.

Wait, I thought TF is $9.99 alone....okay, so I'm just gonna get Orange Box since it's cheaper.

You might as well buy the entire thing, just because it's cheaper than buying TF2 individually right now...

Yea, see edit. I saw that TF alone was for $9.99 and when I clicked on it, it was Orange Box. So yea....

Portal is....lacking when it comes to replay value. As cool as the game's design is, it's a 5 hour game.

It's <2 hours if you go fast enough.

Question.

Can somebody who's purchased Orange Box tell me how much it cost including taxes?

Because I just tried to purchase it (since Steam's new system is awful IMO) and apparently, despite Orange Box costing $9.99 and my PayPal account having $10.39 USD in it, it is *not* letting me complete the purchase and it's really pissing me off.

"Your recipient requires instant payments. To pay instantly from your bank account, simply link a debit or credit card as a backup payment source. We'll charge this card only if your bank payment can't be processed."

"This transaction amount is greater than your available PayPal balance."

Both of these statements are absolute BS and I need a solution ASAP.

Don't you have a way of putting a PayPal account pulling from a bank account you have?

Yes I do.

But here's the problem - I've purchased from Steam before and it does let you pull money directly from your PayPal balance. Companies have different rules, however; I've seen some which pull an e-Check from your bank account and some that require a credit card as backup if they can't pull the funds from the bank.

I can easily transfer funds - if by "easily" you mean "6-8 days".

I just bought it. Luckily, since I had TF2 downloaded from when I was using Tanks' alt account, I don't have to reinstall it. It took me two days, $16 and 8 hours in a Starbucks to get it and I'm not doing that again. (Read: slow campus connection)

Thanks to Hiryuu for gifting it to me... at $9.99 USD.

Which is what I had in PayPal.

*bangs head*

At least I paid the correct price after transferring the funds to him, but still. In any event, crisis averted.

*downloads TF2*

Seems like a lot of us have given into peer pressure.

I'll try and fix my horrible ping by tomorrow guys.

Then maybe I'll kill more than once per round.

Xk: Well... it's 10% done at 43kb/s right now...

Looks like we can get some pretty good events going once everyone's set up.
Tanks, get SourceMod on your server.

I'm sitting at 85% downloading and going to bed. I'd assume I'd be good for tomorrow but I've absolutely no clue how to play so...

Depending on how work goes, I might start playing tomorrow night. I would start now, but I'm gonna hold off.
