Yeah there is an $8 hat, a $20 hat and then the $100 hat.
I probably will eventually get the $8 because I do feel guilty not doing something about the earthquake.
I joined the TF2 ranks again a few weeks ago, just in time for the new conspiracies, heh.
The Potato Hat is awesome (loved the science joke), totally want it for sentimental values haha reminds me of the times I did all those kind of experiments in school and my favourites were the potatos or lemons power generators. Also I want to join the potato hat portal 2 conspiracy madness... I'm kinda sad I can't get it
I don't want to buy the Potato Sack deal since I already own 2 of those games (Killing Floor, Super Meat Boy) and as always they are ripping us (europeans) off with higher prices.
It looks like Potato sack owners get yet another item: the companion cube pin under a different name.
I liked what they did with the Rift and Shogun items and give out Genuine versions to those who order and unique ones to the store and drop system. I don't know why the Homefront hat doesn't, maybe because it wasn't released in the UK? I hope the potato hat gets a unique version.
I know Valve likes their store and their in-game economy but I am a little frustrated with their monthly promos. I enjoy collecting hats but I would rather see TF2 promote a game by giving everyone that hat to raise awareness of the game. (I had barely heard of Rift when the crossover was announced.)
I just want every hat/item without using a micro transaction store. Then I wouldn't have the headache of trading for things.
I would buy the potato sack if I didn't already own 4 of the games. Also, sadly, I'm a bit of an achievement whore and some games like Super Meat Boy, Audio Surf, and Bit.Trip have some ridiculous ones. I've enjoyed them more when playing on a friend's account anyway.
This is why TF2 continues to get free updates. It's become Valve's ultimate tool for artificially boosting sales of other games while still turning a profit of its own via microtransaction.
Of course, there's also people like me, who were completely driven away from the game by this shit. I totally lost interest in Gaia Online for the same reason. Well, that and that it's filled with whiny 14 year olds, but you get the picture.
I don't see much of a problem with updating with free stuff. Most of it is receivable through crafting or trading, and a lot of the stuff looks very nice.

Valve didn't have an online store until the Mannconomy Update in October 2010 (September 30th, actually, but less than 6 hours before October began). They had both promo items and hats available before that... the Sam and Max set being one obvious example.
However, they've been doing way more promo items as of late.
Teddy Bear? What kind of update happened over the 2 days I was gone?
8 new hats and 3 new misc items were added to the game. 2 Engineer hats, 2 Engineer Misc items, 1 Pyro Misc item, 2 Medic hats, 1 Soldier hat, and 1 Demoman hat, and 2 Spy hats.
Strangely, Valve only claims to have added 10 new items, but those of us who know how to count know that's wrong.

Well I looked at SPUF for rage on an all hat update, and then found a request to make the robotic eyes paintable so...
TO TF2 TO SEE WHAT THE F**K IS GOING ON!!!

I updated my previous post with a list of all the hats and links to their entries on the TF Wiki.
resurrection Associate's Pin[/url], which require you to buy the Potato Sack Bundle.
Awww I was hoping those that preorderd Portal 2 gives you that.:(
Oh well I didnt preorder Portal 2 for a pin, I preorderd for more Portal goodness in multiplayer.

I think it was pointed out further up the thread... this is a different item than Companion Cube Pin, even though they look identical.
We still don't know what's going on with that... Valve may even add it as a preorder, or have it unlocked by a Portal 2 achievement (like the Alien Swarm hat was).

Either way it doesnt matter.
I bought Portal 2 for the portals not the pins.
I didn't preorder Portal Two for the TF2 items but I still enjoy TF2. I just wish TF2 didn't push the store and steam promos so much. And 17.49 for the bear? I know the creator gets a cut of the profits but that is overpriced. They neglect to say, "oh yeah, you can get one for free by crafting or trading." I know that's how business is, though. And it will be a very expensive trade to get for a long time.
I thought they mentioned you could craft and find em' on the blog? Ether way I will agree that is way pricey for the bear, cute as the fellow is the teddy bear an't worth THAT much. I never really buy on the mann co. store anyway unless I feel the need to just waste money... which sadly I am guilty of

I bought a key to get that faze going on, the christmas key for the christmas crates, and one of those Japan hats for charity purposes, and thats about it along with a donation to the creator of mann mansion.
All of which were from when I had extra $$$
I just wish the bear were cheap. Then again, no hats/misc items are cheap in the store.
Oh, the other thing is... the other Engy Misc is going to be one of the first items in the game to use the Styles system once Valve finishes it.
Basically, some items are going to have alternate appearances and you can select which one will be used. In the case of the Googly Gazer, it's going to have a more robotic looking alternate.
I'm probably just going to keep crafting hats together until I get one. Worked for me and my Geisha hair.
Funny story; my friend has/had 11 refined, and he crafted 4 refined with an engineer token twice. You'd think that the fact there are 4 new hats to get for engineer alone would help his chances or getting one, right? Wrong. He hasn't gotten any yet. And he really wants that teddy bear...
COME ONE COME ALL. ITS THE HATLESS UPDATE!!!
With a lot of new features.
Coaching.
New training stages.
TF2 is now easier to run on any PC(yes for me)
nerfed a lot of weapons.

I may get the $20 one soon though.
I haven't had a hat drop since before the Engineer update.
I haven't had one since the medic update.
I've never had a hat drop so I just assumed they didn't.
All this talk of me getting no hat drops in ages, and I find Ze Goggles.

On another note. I want that teddy bear. Oh god unusual versions will skyrocket!

EDIT:Oh 9 new hats and a teddy bear... what?

Misc items only have unusual versions if they were a hat that got converted into a Misc, and only then if it was after the Mannconomy update.
That's why you have unusual versions of the Le Party Phantom and Blighted Beak, but not of the Whiskered Gentleman or Camera Beard.
8 new hats and 3 new misc items were added to the game. 2 Engineer hats, 2 Engineer Misc items, 1 Pyro Misc item, 2 Medic hats, 1 Soldier hat, and 1 Demoman hat, and 2 Spy hats.
Strangely, Valve only claims to have added 10 new items, but those of us who know how to count know that's wrong.
Those things are:
Soldier hat: Honcho's Headgear
Pyro misc: Sightfor Sore Eyes
Demoman hat: Reggaelator
Engineer hats: Big Country, Professor's Peculiarity
Engineer miscs: Teddy Roosebelt, Googly Gazer
Medic hats: Medic's Mountain Cap, Grimme Hatte
Spy hats: Private Eye, Charmer's Chapeau
Oh, and the [ classified ] Potato hat and Resurrection Associate's Pin, which require you to buy the Potato Sack Bundle. Here's a Hint as to why:
Well I looked at SPUF for rage on an all hat update, and then found a request to make the robotic eyes paintable so...
TO TF2 TO SEE WHAT THE F**K IS GOING ON!!!
Is there EVER a point where SPUF don't rage?
I updated my previous post with a list of all the hats and links to their entries on the TF Wiki.
True but if Im correct, the last all hat update was the 119th update thingie which recieved a nice amount of rage
Awww I was hoping those that preorderd Portal 2 gives you that.:(

If only new hats weren't so massively overpriced...

SPUF is raging yet.

Gentlemen.
PS: i hope is a portal gun on team fortress 2 just like that one. maybe?
By the way, did anyone else have to reinstall the game after the update. Steam refused to have anything to do with TF2. It barely uninstalled.
