The Source SDK and XSI for HL2

Archived from groups: alt.games.half-life (More info?)

Ok, I have the Source SDK installed and apparently working. I keep
seeing stuff to go get XSI:EXP for HL2, but when I get there, it gives
me the download button, but then I get this Steam message "Coming Soon!"
anyone got XSI already? it's only 161 megs. I think I have an older
version from a year ago, when it was first released for HL2. But I
doubt it will integrate with the SDK as it is now. I guess what I'm
asking is how do I GET the current XSI?

I've tried every kind of button at the XSI site to get anything related
to HL2 and I keep getting the STEAM - Coming Soon! tag for the dl
server location. In other words, nothing. I'll mess with the buttons
some more
I'll see ya in 'editing Peter
