Valve has a history.. Very very fast price drops, which is very smart. They have data that shows, price drops makes a LOT of money. I beleave they released this data a while ago, I don't feel like searching.. but..

Who is waiting?

P.S. For those with a real job, 50 isn't much, but to me it is. At least in this stage of life.

I'm waiting. I'm really looking forward to playing it, but it's not worth $50 to me. I have no doubt the price will drop or that there will be a sale relatively soon.

I don't think I'll buy it for awhile. To me, Portal is the least interesting concepts they could've expanded upon. I would've much preferred a new game from any other IP under their belt.

I'll probably get it at the end of this week. I'm not really concerned about a price drop, Portal 2 is well worth the $50 I'm going to spend on it.

Still need to finish the first one before I dive into the second. I have Portal on 360 (Orange Box) and on PC, and I haven't touched either. If that's any indication of how much I enjoy puzzle games, I probably won't be touching Portal 2 until it pulls a LFD2 and I can snag it for $7.

It's too short for $50. I only got Portal 1 with the Orange Box. I wouldn't have bought it if I had to pay $30, so $50 is way too high.

I got it for $35, and don't regret it. Sure it will probably drop in a few months, but I wanted it now, and don't mind paying a good price for this game.

Not I. I enjoyed the first Portal game, but it's not a game I need to play right now.

I'm waiting. Looks like it'll be a great game and I'm stoked to play it, but I'm a poor college student and there are only two games I'm buying day 1 this year: Battlefield 3 and Elder Scrolls V

I never played portal 1 because I didn't feel like waiting for the 1.5 gb download to get completed.This is why I hate steam.

I will never buy another valve game again.

1- there is something called "leave the computer downloading overnight" or also "leave the computer downloading while you are away at work or school"

2- there is also something called a GAMES SHOP where you can buy the game and not have to download it

3- just because you are IMPATIENT, it's no reason to hate Steam or Valve

I bought a physical copy of the orange box.Valve games require you to play them through steam.I PAID for the game and I can't play it.I should sue valve.

edit-I can't play the game because I have to update it.I installed the game but couldn't play because of compulsory update.

I can't download the update at night because I have to use a LAN wire for internet access on my PC.Someone can stumble on the wire in the darkness.

I don't want my parents to see what's in my PC so I can't leave it on when I am at school either.

It no longer bothers me though.I have learnt my lesson.I don't buy valve games now.

I loved the first game, I've completed it on xbox and pc. I'm tempted to purchase Portal 2 off steam but I know it'll go on sale for $29.99 or lower in months or weeks. So far I hear nothing but good things, but I have a whole backlog of games and I'm currently playing Witcher and Mirrors Edge.

LOL, I love how a person has a few issues with one game and then boycott/hate the whole company due to it. Here are a few solutions for you:

I bought a physical copy of the orange box.Valve games require you to play them through steam.I PAID for the game and I can't play it.I should sue valve.

You can't play because of....? Why sue them? Everybody else plays the game fine...

I can't download the update at night because I have to use a LAN wire for internet access on my PC.Someone can stumble on the wire in the darkness.

There's an invention called Wireless....or even get a friend to download it

I don't want my parents to see what's in my PC so I can't leave it on when I am at school either.

Leave it downloading and put a password on your PC.

Leave it downloading and turn off your monitor.

Leave it downloading and turn off your monitor and unplug it from the computer.


These and heaps more SOLUTIONS available for you. Just because you don't want to leave ur chair and be comfortable, it's not Valve's fault.

It pretty much is already $30. Amazon had it for $34.99 or you could buy the PS3 version which game with a $20 credit. $54.99-$20 = $34.99 and then sell the PS3 copy on top of that after redeeming the PC code. Pretty much got it for around $5 depending on how you look at Amazon credit. It's like real money to me anyway since I always shop there.

Yeah, I'm waiting for a price drop also. I heard it was really good, but singleplayer games nowadays have to be simply amazing for me to shell out $50 for no replay value.

Will wait, already finished it at a friend, it was a fantastic experience, it just felt right compared to Portal that was a weird experiment, but it was too short and CO-OP was extremely frustrating, barely finished a few maps with the guy I played, I don't really care about it anymore since it has 0 replay value but I'll get it when it's cheaper, it's well worth having.

I hesitated on the $35 sale... so now I'm paying for it. I can wait though. I got plenty of games to catch up on.. and The Witcher 2 is just on the horizon.

Pre-ordered it and loved it, worth every penny I spent. Ending song is also epic.

Im half way through it now, brilliant so far, much better than the first.

I suggest people buy it now if you can afford it, Giant Bomb's 5/5 review is spot on!

Right on the box it says that you need steam to play it.

edit-I can't play the game because I have to update it.I installed the game but couldn't play because of compulsory update.

I can't download the update at night because I have to use a LAN wire for internet access on my PC.Someone can stumble on the wire in the darkness.

Ummm do you have a 5' cable hanging mid air? Why the hell are people walking around your pc in the dark anyways?

I don't want my parents to see what's in my PC so I can't leave it on when I am at school either.

There's a feature on windows called Lock the damn pc... Windows key + L. As long as the only account is PW protected, nobody will get in.

I just finished playing Portal for the first time, and I'm dying to play Portal 2. However, I've read (or assumed XP) that Portal 2 is still a bit short, so I'm willing to wait for a price drop. Luckily the short campaign of Portal was alright, considering I bought it for $10.

Took me 6 hours, but I rushed in most places, the only thing I cared about were the in game commentaries :P they really worked on it, everything just flows, there are few choke points that make you think really hard what step you should take.

Ahh, well not too bad I guess for a puzzle game. I won't feel so bad waiting for the price to drop a bit then.

I must admit i didnt try Portal ... And i was wrong. Portal 2 is soooo fantastic mind game and funny at the same time i cant stop playing. Brilliant stuff 50 might sound alot for this game but overall it delivers epic win. After original Dead Space , this is the next on my "best new franchise of this gen" list

Portal was awesome, but it wasn't really something that felt like it needed to be a full length 50$ game.

Plus I'm busy with the witcher atm.

Fantastic game so far, everything you'd expect from a Portal game and then some. Can't wait to try co-op with a friend once I finish the sp.

I'lve bought it for PS3... can't even register it on my Steam account because the PSN servers are down!!! I'm just raging! :evil:
