ATI customers among the first in the world to play Counter-Strike™: Source™
 

MARKHAM, ON – ATI Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ATYT; TSX: ATY) today announced that customers who received a Half-Life 2 coupon with their purchase of a RADEON® 9600 or RADEON® 9800 product will receive an added bonus – entry into Valve’s Counter-Strike: Source beta program.

The original Counter-Strike is the world’s most popular online action game, generating over four billion player minutes per month. Counter-Strike: Source, the next installment of the game, blends CS’s intense team play with the advanced features of the Valve Source™ technology, the same technology powering Half-Life 2.

The coupon holders will experience the benefits of advanced DirectX® 9 graphics rendered on a RADEON®-powered graphics card. Coupon holders can visit www.steampowered.com to activate their Steam account and enable them to join the Counter-Strike: Source beta.
