How is that stiffing the customer. I got the silver package as one of
the things I wanted was DOD:Source. I also got a bunch of other games
for about £10. If you don't think DOD:Source is worth it, don't buy it!

Where did you get the info on it being $20?

"...DoD: Source is a rebuild from the ground up of Day of Defeat on the
Source engine."

At least this is a total Source engine conversion unlike Half-Life: Source
which only added a few graphical improvments.

Thanks Sleepy. Whether or not it's a rip off is going to depend of course
on whether it is any good. Whichever package you bought aside, $20 for a
new game aint that bad. I have the retail version so I'm not being biased.
I'd prefer it for $10 too.

I only paid USD$10 for the silver package (ATI voucher) so I got my
monies worth, but to be honest all I ever cared for was to play HL2 and
its expansions lost coast and aftermath.
