Can't wait, will have to be after work on Tuesday though :(.Ā Ā  Thinking maybe just setting it on normal with some people just to check out the new areas, maybe check out the vs mode while I'm at it.Ā Ā

I just played what I guess to be able 7 hours of demo play last night. It's too much fun! I'm reconsidering getting the steam version so I can play right away when it releases. I'm still going with the physical copy for now.

I don't mean any offense, but I was wondering what your mentality was for getting a physical copy. I'm pretty sure you'll end up entering a code in steam anyways. A hard copy isn't going to mean much if steam goes down and you're paying $5 more to get a physical copy. You also have to pay for gas, time, etc.

None taken man. I respect your opinion on these boards. Lets just say I'm one of those people who like their pretty game boxes. I'm like a collector (sort of), so I like to have the hard copy on me. I'm going to buy my copy from this website http://www.gogamer.com/viewproduct.htm?productId=21524445 or find one on Bay for $45-50 with free shipping and currently, I have a 10% coupon on there. I've been buying all my games on-line this year. I use to do the dirty work of driving to the store, but that's reserved only for big hit/midnight release games like Gears of War 2 or Fallout 3. My major concern is "resell" if I ever decide to (for some reason) sell the game. Which I highly doubt, but it could happen.

That's right. It's just that you're more anticipated about this game than I am. And that's saying a lot. :P

Well, if you have a coupon, that's a different story. Lol.

I rarely purchase D2D games because I also prefer a hard copy (except when it comes to valve games).Ā

I'm going to rely on this. The countdown on the store page is messed up.

The retail copies have generally been a lot cheaper than the Steam versions. Some of my friends preordered L4D from Amazon back when it was $35, some got it at $37, some got it at $40.

Thanks for the heads up. I've been looking around (eBay, gogamer.com). What Makari said is true. It's on Amazon.com for $44.99, and they offer free shipping. On top of that, they throw in a $5.00 promotional discount, bringing the grand total to $39.99, no tax applies. I believe this is the best deal out there, as of right now, if you can wait a few days longer than everyone else (who is purchasing L4D on Steam). It'll give me time to work on Fallout 3.

Thats if they can get it along, I doubt it will be that exact.. If memory serves Valve always has problems with this, I always assume it has to do just with the amount of people using Steam all at once for that function.

I hope not.Ā  The demo has already seen connection problems as you well know, but which online game doesnt?Ā  Especially when they're new.Ā  Weird thing though, my PC blue screened after a short session of Left 4 Dead demo.. and it has never done that before, ever.Ā  There is definitely something more evil than zombies lurking in the servers..
