I think not, your account is stored on a server, you only have to re-install/download the games again.

You'll pay 20-30 € more just so that you won't have to change the discs during installation?

I might buy that edition anyway (the good consumer that I am ), it would be interesting to play HL:Source...

According to people's budgets and needs?

I don't think I could have waited any longer! Finally, relief!

Well, now that I've been to the bathroom, time to talk about Half-Life 2.

If this is a dream, DO NOT wake me up!

I think when I get this game, I'll be... er... 'mysteriously sick'... yes.....
