Ina press release this evening Valve has sided with ATI as the preferred graphics card partner for its upcoming game Half-Life 2. So what does this announcement really mean? ATI customers will get the full Half-Life 2 game free with the purchase of select Radeon products. Hoorah!

The one and only Gabe Newell, Founder and Managing Director, Valve added:

"ATI has been a great partner on the engineering front. Our work with ATI has enabled DirectX 9 functionality that wouldn't have been possible with any other company. ATI's hardware gives our customers the best experience with our software. So we've chosen to extend our relationship to include marketing initiatives that will showcase both Half-Life 2 and RADEON products."

The smallprint also mentioned that it's a 'while sticks last' offer so you'll probably need to be quick to take advantage of the offer. Also note that they say 'charges vary depending on purchaser's mailing address and method of delivery (i.e.; download vs. land delivery)'.
