    Yeah I've been hearing that too, though I haven't found any conclusive evidence one way or the other (spoilers: not looking very hard). It seems plausible that they could unlock Steam copies whenever the **** they wanted, but I'm mostly in it for the potato challenges anyway. I likely won't even be able to start playing Portal 2 until several days after release.

      Re: Portal 2

      Guess we will wait and see then. Portal 2 isn't coming out, it's been canceled.

      Oh well, the potato sack games are fun. That is all.


      Looking forward to Portal 2, when ever I get it. (Thanks for your money.)

        Re: Portal 2

        I bought the potato sack just because 50-75% off is a good deal. There's 3 or 4 games in there I actively wanted anyhow. Obviously it's going to have no effect on the release of Portal 2, not that I'm buying it any time soon anyway.

          Re: Portal 2

          From a business perspective, you obviously design the potato challenges such that the expectation is that any losses that occur from releasing portal too early are offset by the gains of buying the potato pack. It's designed specifically so that they expect there to be just enough potatoes right as the release date approaches anyway. If that expectation is underestimated and people make it early, the marginal gains would have resulted in a profit anyway.

          So it's not really extortion -- the option was out there and it still provided people with a fun marketing participation for the upside of early release. It just wasn't for me, but I can see how others would find it fun/worth it.

            Re: Portal 2

            downloaded the 1st portal game 2 days ago, started and finished it yesterday, it took me a few hours (4 to 6). Really fun and addicting game. Will most likely buy Portal 2 tomorrow if I'm lucky, since I dint pre-order it.

            Is there a big difference between the xbox/ps3 version and the PC/Mac one?

                In the Steam website and in Ebgames it says April 19.

                      Valve highly favors PC over anything else. If anything, you're missing out on good content by buying the console versions.

                      "That just will not do." was keywii's response as she lunged for the scissors, pulled the blades apart, and clamped them down on the base of foil's shaft. Blood start gushing out of the wound where his penis used to be.
                      "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Yelled Foil in horror.
                      "Don't worry. I'm a wizard" uttered Keywii. And with that, Foil's penis grew back.

                          PS3/Mac/PC will probably get free DLC somewhere down the line.

                          360.... maybe.

                          e: also, I guess I will have time to play at launch. Hooray!
