It may be $30 in the US, but in Australia our retail stores live in a parallel universe where that coverts not into $AU50 as you would expect but $AU100. Besides, I already have Portal. Buying from Steam would be the best, but looking at those download sizes it's not going to happen. I shall have to investigate buying a license off Steam.

Actually HL2's size isn't that bad.

Thanks anyway though.

Are you kidding?

Here in Sydney the Orange Box can be bought for $50AU.

 

Really? What store? Even JB scrounges me.

As for the quote below, I've already installed Portal off a retail disc, but can you tell me how I activate a product in case I do get a backup disc?

as for portal, if you have the Serial number just go to activate product on stream.
