One of the buz guys at Valve (or Sierra) said that there will probably be a
rebate for HL owners. Now, figure it's a 10 or 15 dollar rebate, and the
fact that you will be able to get TF2 from Comp USA or Best Buy for $30, it
isn't so bad is it? A "add-on" is never really on sale, because it is so
cheap (relatively) and there would be no rebates. Soooo, there is a good
chance you will be able to buy TF2 for less than a add-on.
