Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1543 Joined: 31 Mar 2008    | Already nabbed it off of Steam yesterday. Now I just need to wait until November... Oh, and xitel, Steam regularly offers games on pre-order at a discount. That's how I bought Audiosurf, actually. I'm pretty sure that one of the main reasons is that you can't send someone a useless poster through a broadband connection, or at least not easily. |

A lot of games offerred for sale on Steam include a discount during pre-order, though its nice to see they're extending this same offer to boxed/console copies as well. The real question is, honestly, who didn't already have it pre-ordered one way or another? ^_~ |

I don't have it pre-ordered, because a) I'm not a big fan of zombie games, and b) I don't normally pre-order games because I'm not a fan of useless swag. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 794 Joined: 24 May 2008 | I haven't pre-ordered yet, because I'm not sure which platform I'm going with. It's funny, but I can't shake the feeling that I'm cheating Valve by not pre-ordering... Its as if I've failed to return a favor... |

Talk to Doug, because Gabe hates the PS3. |

Don't be in denial - you know you want it. Assuming the brainwashing worked that is. |
Muckraker  Posts: 242 Joined: 4 Sep 2008 | I just pre-ordered it over steam. Where I live it means that I can get it 3 days sooner and for £5 cheaper than if I got it in the shops or online. |

Valve Offers Steamy Left 4 Dead Pre-order
Pre-order this zombie-killer on Steam and get brain-eating goodness at a discount.
Who doesn't like sweet, delicious bbbbrrrraaaaaaiiiinnnsss? PC gamers planning to pick up Valve's forthcoming zombie infested bloodbath next month can exercise their gray matter now, by pre-ordering the cooperative survival shooter on Steam to save a few bucks. Yesterday, Valve announced anyone pre-purchasing Left 4 Dead on Steam will receive a 10 percent discount. Similar deals are already being offered for pre-ordering the retail PC and Xbox 360 versions of the game.
Despite the current state of economic unrest and concern across the industry for game sales this holiday season, Valve's marketing VP Doug Lombardi paints a rosy picture of pre-orders among gamers looking forward to the next level in interactive co-op zombie slaying.
"With just over four weeks until launch, Left 4 Dead is showing every sign of topping The Orange Box on both the PC and Xbox 360, at retail as well as on Steam," Lombardi said in a press statement. "Our pre-sell numbers at retail have jumped to over 65% greater than Orange Box at the same proximity to launch, and we're seeing tremendous enthusiasm for the product in what promises to be another great year for gaming on both platforms."
Valve's new franchise aims to satiate zombie survival horror enthusiasts itching for a robust singe player, multiplayer and co-op experience. The zombie infestation spreads onto Steam, PC, and the Xbox 360 on Nov. 18. Will you count yourself among the living, the dead, or the undead?
