AMD/ATI announces that owners of ATI Radeon graphics cards are entitled to a pair of free games from Steam, Valve's content delivery service. ATI hardware owners can visit this page for details on their free copies of Half-Life 2: Lost Coast and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch as well as discounts on other Valve games. Word is that future versions of Catalyst driver packages will include Steam in case you didn't know you wanted it.

Lost Coast and HL2 Deathmatch come free with HL2 anyway, no? The savings are nice, though.

And this from the ati press release.

Quote:

Customers who purchase the new ATI Radeon™ HD 2900 XT will also receive, upon release via Steam, the highly anticipated trio of new games coming from Valve: Team Fortress 2, Portal, and Half-Life 2: Episode Two.

The Lost Coast/HL2 DM offer has been available for a long time now. I used that offer almost 4 months ago just to check how well HDR worked on my PC before I got the Orange Box.

This is really rather old news as I used a coupon from a 2900 HD 1GB card to get the latest 3 games at release...and catalyst has been coming w/ steam for awhile now, at least the versions I have downloaded!
