Portal 2

Preload now available!

Hopefully we will be able to get this working on our own servers!

YAY. I've been watching the mini-trailers. They're no substitute for having the game, but pass the time. 65% more bullet per bullet.

9am their time is afternoon here, factor in the inevitable delay and you've got late afternoon early evening. Fingers Crossed.

Valve are complete and utter genius:

Now that's how to run a marketing campaign...

Liberator · April 15, 2011, 06:14:21 PM

Somehow I don't thing they'll send out my retail copy any sooner.

But it was only Â£23.98.

So if I play defence grid the awakening it will unlock portal 2 faster...?
Great marketing.

Edit: I upgraded my computer last week and reinstalled steam into the same folder. It seems none of the one in the potato sack will activate and it asks me to try again later. Not so great. Tested Droplitz to see if it's all games or not and it started fine. Their servers must be getting hammered.

So whos getting this come Friday? I know I am.
Anyone fancy some co-op?

Completing the 2 new defence grid levels (one has a cool portal them and features Glados) unlocks some usernames and passwords. (I missed them the first time round...but second time round I was ready with F12 - a really useful new feature of steam). Anyway, there are a whole load of clues and hints and mini-games (I think beating the TonyLanche game is going to be incredibly tough - the AI is pretty good).

Has anyone found stuff like this in other potato sack games?

Maybe it is bringing the postal ones forward.

Just got a "dispatched" email from Zavvi.

As soon as it arrives get it registered and installed. You don't want to be one of the poor suckers left trying to download the thing as it's released.

I've a horrible feeling that just getting the damn thing to unlock is going to be painful enough - Valve's servers are scheduled to take quite a beasting.
