CS:S Preloading Soon

From CSN ...

According to Jason X, who now works at Planet Half-Life, a Gabe Newell e-mail he received talks about the Counter-Strike: Source BETA being preloaded for Counter-Strike: Condition Zero owners:

"It isn't tonight. It will be closer to the 28th. We'll give people plenty of warning." - Gabe Newell

But knowing how capable the Steam infrastructure is it'll take you all 4 months to download it. Then when you finally get it all you'll have to delete your blob file and start again muahahahahahahahaha  :devil:

rizzuh @ 00:13 - cstrike: source - 139 comments - hot topic - new!
Although the Counter-Strike: Source BETA was initially planned to be pre-loaded on August 5th, that date has been pushed back, according to an e-mail from Jess Cliffe of Valve Software:

  Counter-Srike: Source will not start pre-loading on the 5th. We are working extremely hard to get it out and will have more information on this soon.

  --Jess Cliffe

The CS: Source BETA was scheduled to be made available for play on the 10th. It's unknown, but likely, if that date will be pushed back as well.

just seen this, looks like by the end of the month well be playing source! :

Pre-loading of the Counter-Strike: Source beta to cyber cafés begins today. On Wednesday, this first phase of the beta will open and the game will be playable at all cyber cafes that subscribe to the Valve Cyber Café Program. Later this month, the beta will be extended to owners of Counter-Strikeâ,,¢: Condition Zeroâ,,¢ and ATI Fulfillment Coupon holders.

This beta serves as a compatibility test of the Source engine as we near the completion of development on Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source. During this limited-time beta, issues can be reported using the in-game bug-reporting tool. In addition any crashes will automatically generate a report back to Valve’s bug database. We thank everyone for their participation, and we hope Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source live up to your expectations.
