Weren't the two episodes free?

Maybe there was some special or package deal, but no.

Not unless they had some special bundle for HL2 I can't remember.

Ep1 had to be purchased. Ep2 came with The Orange Box (which also contained TF2 and Portal 1 as well as Richochet, though it wasn't advertised).

Pretty sure when Orange Box was released, it included HL2 and HL2 Episode 1 in addition to HL2 Episode 2. Hard to remember because there were so many good games that came from that one purchase.
