You can burn to discs using Steam if I remember correctly.
Or you can wait til release and pay full price plus sales tax, but whatever.
And before anybody whines that you have to rebuy HL2 and HL2: Ep 1 if you already own them...this entire package for $50 (or $45 if you preorder) is an excellent package. Portal would cost $20 separate. TF2 would cost $30 separate. HL2: Ep 2 would cost $30 separate.
So yeah, if you want to wait until the games come out to buy the 3 new games separately you can...but then you'd be spending $80. Valve is giving you these 3 new games for $45 (and that little downloadable game), plus the 2 previous games, which you can very graciously give to friends and spread the word about one of the best FPSs ever made.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
