Valve have announced that Left 4 Dead is now available for pre-purchase on Steam, and offering a 10% discount in the process. Normally this sort of announcement would barely rate a mention, but this is actually a super-cool game and you're almost certainly going to want to check it out when it's released - zombie-battling co-op play is a pretty big draw card.

Check out our Left 4 Dead game page for screenshots and trailers.

Man the s***ty aus dollar at the moment makes steam less good. Probably still cheaper and easier than retail.

^ Lol, yea thats even sadder.

"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."

HAH. That'll learn all the gaming companies out there that didn't bother with CO-OP thinking it was too risky or not wanted.

A large chunk of that Tasty pie is going to Valve and the makers of this game.

Hopefully this will spur more purpose built CO-OP games to be released.

What? Isn't this multiplayer and not Co-op? did I miss the memo?

its a multiplayer co-op game. is there going to be a demo before its released?

man its gonna be awesome - zombies, online 4 player coop & you can play a Zombie Boss!!! cost me $69 bucks but me wanty baaad so I preordered even though now i gotta wait a month...

Valve usually dont do demos for their blockbusters

also BRRAAAIINNSSssss

wow because of l4d there wont be any more tf2 updates until next year :(

I'm preinstalling now.


It's gonna be awesome, same dudes from TF2 doing L4D. Now it's complete, they're working on next TF2 update. (so I was reading)

f*** the demo I reckon this will be the absolute shiz. Craving some decent coop.

i was kinda hoping it would be around the same price as tf2, maybe $10-$15 more. i will probably end up getting it though. i also just read that the demo will be released early november.

s***, I was hoping this meant it would be out really soon, but I checked the release date and theres still another month to wait :(

ah screw TF2 the magic over - give me BRAINS!

BRAAAIINNZZzz

in before Boba gets it put up to $us88.50

someone really needs to explain the boba/valve reference because it's not funny (yet)

I really really want to get this, but as mentioned above, the Aussie exchange rate makes this really frustrating. Given the amount of fluctuation in the Aussie dollar at the moment, I'll wait for a couple weeks and see what happens.

noone needs you to think it's funny greazy, even if it was sposed to be funny

do your research greazy

Boba made the price of CoD4 via STEAM double for Australia
