Quoted :

" Leading developer and graphics company offer award-winning game via Steam
Valve and NVIDIA have announced that all NVIDIA gamers may receive a free copy of Portal: First Slice, a special version of the new game from Valve, by visiting this website and "Taking the test." Steam will then auto-detect the presence of NVIDIA hardware and make Portal: First Slice available immediately, free of charge. To make it easy for all NVIDIA customers to redeem this offer, a link to the Steam offer will also be included in all NVIDIA drivers. "

" NVIDIA gamers may receive a free copy of Portal: First Slice "

It may not be up yet or may not be decided if its going ahead, I dont want Steam on PC or the game, just sharing the news

Is this just like one or two levels from the full game?

SB118 · 9 Jan 2008 at 19:05

Mine is downloading right now

Teki187 · 9 Jan 2008 at 19:06

Its only an extended demo of Portal.

Solaris · 9 Jan 2008 at 19:06

It asks if I have steam installed. And I say yes. And it does nothing

So it doesnt have any different content to the actual game?

perox · 9 Jan 2008 at 19:08

Well I've just done it and the only thing it tried to download was Peggle Extreme, so im guessing if you've already got the full game it doesn't work?

helmutcheese · 9 Jan 2008 at 19:08

It does not mention any DEMO, it reads its as a full FREE Special Edition of Portal

It does say extended demo....re-read?

http://www.steampowered.com/nvidia/

read under the rather large text.

It says "Portal: Fire Slice is an extended demo of the unique new game from Valve"

helmutcheese · 9 Jan 2008 at 19:14

Ahh well, never read that far as above, not interested in Steam on my PC or that game.

For a limited time, a free copy of Portal: First Slice is available exclusively to all NVIDIA cusomters, Portal: First Slice is an extended demo... blah... blah... blah

Pointless IMHO

This then suggests theyre going to charge ATI users for a demo?

andshrew · 9 Jan 2008 at 19:34

You also get a free copy of HL2 Deathmatch, seems like a similar deal to what they've run for ATI users in the past.

Can't complain with free goodies.

How glad am I that I owned both a 2900 when the black box was free with them, and an 8600GT in my 2nd PC \o/

Winrar!
