... if anyone cares.

Cheaper on the large river.

Will it sail down the large river for launch? I've had a poor experience before.

Hard to say, most of the time the large river is flowing fast enough but occasionally it seems to struggle.

buying game in steam is expensive better buy it from etailer.

BloodyL · 16 Oct 2008 at 00:13

It works out 5 quid cheaper with the super slow can't be assed to deliver it option, 3 quid cheaper with 1st class and 4 quid more expensive with next day.

I'm going to buy it from Steam because I want to give Valve as much money as possible.

I still feel like I owe them from the gift that was the orange box.

I am torn between buying from Steam or for the 360... argh!

It only 1quid for 1st class and you will get it on the day of release.

FrenchTart · 16 Oct 2008 at 00:21

Think I'll buy it on steam... And make my housemate get it for his xbox360

mks2005 · 16 Oct 2008 at 00:25

Woo!

Psypher5 · 16 Oct 2008 at 00:32

FrenchTart · 16 Oct 2008 at 00:36

$45 seems a little high when I'm still a week or two away from payday. Think I'll wait a little while

MoNkEyMiKeY · 16 Oct 2008 at 01:01

Oh come on GTA4 and L4D on the same day. My game list will never be completed. I officially give up now. Don't know how I can afford both of these. Have to do it with out the missus knowing :scratches chin:

Gonna be buying it off Steam, pretty much because I want to be playing it on release. Will be playable on Steam from the 18th, whereas retail copies in the UK aren't released until the 21st... plus you have to factor in postage time aswell. There's no way I'd be able to wait in order to save about 4 quid, especially when I'd see people on my friendlist playing without me... it'd be torture! :eek:

Bought (Steam).

Can't wait.

This I did not know. I am a real sucker for packaging, but I absolutely will not be able to sit by and watch other people slay infected. I guess I'll have to make my own box.

Awesome!

I only just was looking at the steam page 1 hour ago to see if it was available for pre-order and it wasn't.

Bought.

Don't care if it's cheaper in shops, is sure to have a pre-load function (always good) and Valve also mentioned demos for steam and 360 users before launch

andshrew · 16 Oct 2008 at 07:50

Same price as the Orange Box was on Steam... can't really see this offering as much content as that did so a little disappointed in the price

Still pre-ordered though

Alty · 16 Oct 2008 at 08:18

how big is the pre-load?

willhub · 16 Oct 2008 at 08:19

Is their a demo?
