After much debate, I've decided to pass on using my "Black Box" voucher which I received as part of a new HiS Radeon HD2900XT video card. The Black Box voucher is for Half Life 2 : Episode 2, Team Fortress 2 and Portal. So, I am going to offer it here first and then probably move it on to eBay if nobody wants it! Please read the entire post, carefully as a few conditions apply to this sale!

The Black Box has been S O L D !

The Black Box" ATi Offer reads as follows :

Congratulations on the purchase of your new ATI Radeon graphics card. With this product you can now enjoy the ultimate visual experience in gaming, included with your purchase is an opportunity to get a free copy of The Black Box, an exciting collection of three new games from Valve Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Team Fortress 2 and Portal. These games are scheduled to be available later this year via Steam, Valve's online platform for PC games. In the meantime, Valve would like to invite you to play Day of Defeat : Source. Please visit steamgames.com/activateATI to get the games. Please have your product key ready - you'll need it to obtain your free copy of The Black Box and Day of Defeat : Source.

For those who are still wondering, ATI's R600 bundled Black Box is still valid. Only the retail version of The Black Box was cancelled. This is for a voucher card containing a brand new/unused/untampered with Product Key for a free copy of Valve's new "The Black Box." The buyer will have a choice of either having this voucher physicaly sent via snail (USPS) mail or opt to have the product key sent via PM/email. There are certain conditions, I believe, that the buyer must meet in order to purchase/use this voucher. First, you need to own or have access to an ATi video card as this is an exclusive ATi/Valve offer and second, I believe you need to reside in north america (Canada/United States) to take advantage of this specific promotion. If you agree to and meet these requirements, then you will have no issues with this. Those that do not meet these requirements may still purchase this but you do so at your own risk!

I am asking $23 USD shipped or $21 USD electronicaly transfered to your Private Message Box here on TPU. I will only accept Paypal for payment on this one and the sale becomes FINAL once the voucher/product key leaves my hands or sent electronicaly. I will physicaly destroy the voucher card once the product key has been sent (electronicaly) so that you will be the only one to have knowledge of or access to said product key! This will be a first come, first serve sale so the first one to get payment to me will be the lucky new owner of "The Black Box!"

P.S - This sale will also qualify you for my upcomming Customers Appriciation Contest/Giveaway starting early November!

No. Valve cancelled all retail sales of The Black Box, either in store or via online. The Black Box only exists as an ATI/Valve promotion that is currently bundled within select new ATI HD2900XT video cards.
 
when'd you get a 2900XT sov?!

I didn't, technically! ;)

It was for a client whom offered the voucher as partial payment for a new Graphics/CAD Design work PC. He was debating between a new ATI FireGL 7200 or a HiS Radeon HD2900XT video card and decided to go with the much cheaper HD2900XT. Since he is not a "gamer", he offered the voucher to me as a small peice of compensation of which I obviously accepted! :p
 
so worked like a charm ^^ first managed to get HL2 that way, now this ;) perfect ^^. It was not bound to any hardware either.

cheers

That should make you one of the first Europeaners to have Episiode Two and the others, right? ;) IIRC, The Orange Box won't be available to Europe until the 18th or 19th of this month?

na anyone can download the game and play it :) I already have HL2 and EP: One, so I do not want to buy the Orange Box..this is perfect :D
 
I thought so, too!

In case anyone feels like they missed out, I just might have another one available in the near future and at the same price (or close to). A friend of mine is looking to upgrade to a HiS Radeon HD2900XT as well but he already pre-ordered the Orange Box over a month ago, that means he'll going to let me have the black box voucher!

I may also just opt to include the voucher as part of the contest/giveaway that I am in line to start up in the next few weeks or so! ;)
 
Let me know if you get one and I'll pay $30 for it.
