It seems to depend on what you already have installed. My download for the PC version is just under 3.9 GB, but it also makes the download for TF2 significantly smaller (presumably because they share a bunch of Source-y bits (or should I say bytes?(Sorry.))). Not sure why yours would be that big though (is it the Mac version?).

Why is everyone so excited for this? Shouldnt every Pc gamer have the orange box by now?

[QUOTE="SilverChimera"][QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"] Lol, everyone is praising Valve and happy that they'd simply just offer a deal like this, and this guy is trying to put everyone down. He's like the Scrooge of system wars.Darkmoone1

I already own Portal but this is just great. I'm telling some friends to get it and who knows maybe some people in my family would try it out. It's a fantastic game, and it's slow and easy in the beginning.brandontwb

It's great cheap advertising for portal 2.

Grrr. I stopped and deleted all local content at 98% thinking my download wasn't resuming because of a glitch. Turns out the servers are just getting hammered. I better not go over my bandwidth cap because of this... :evil:

I probably won't finish it again, but it's a game to be worth having

Some of you may be wondering (especially if you haven't played the pc version before) where are the extra maps that were included in Portal Still: Alive for the 360. Well these maps must be manually added in since they are part of a mod. The mod is based off of the flash version of the game, the levels are very fast paced and more challenging then the original. The first step to get these maps is download file from the following link.

http://www.moddb.com/games/portal/downloads/portal-the-flash-version-mappack

Once you download this file open it with a .rar extracting program, such as winrar (32bit version)

http://download.cnet.com/WinRAR-32-bit/3000-2250_4-10007677.html

(64bit version)

http://download.cnet.com/WinRAR-64-bit/3000-2250_4-10965579.html

Once you open the file you downloaded in winrar (or whatever program you decide to use) extract all the files into the portal folder within your portal directory.programs86x/steam/steamapps/commonorwhateveryouraccnameis/portal/portal. Choose to merge the folders when the popup appears, and also choose to replace the files if you get a popup. Once this is completed go to your maps section of the main menu and load the mod which should be listed. Enjoy

I know this is common knowledge by now, but Steam is amazing. I love the service.

I just realized something. None of the Cows or Hermits have come in and yelled "PC gaming is dying!". Thats rather unusual :o

this was a triumph...
