I think the L4D2 demo unlocks today, for those of us who pre-ordered the game on Steam.

Sometimes being poor stinks. *kicks the ground and puts his hands in his pockets*

Welly, Monk, there's only two routes to go if money's tight—pre-order to lock in the 10% discount, or wait a few months for a promotion. (The latter is how I got hooked up with L4D in the first place; they were having some sort of $10 weekend deal, so I bit.)

If it's any consolation, the demo is supposed to unlock to the general public in a week or so.

It's not even that, it's just there's way too many releases coming. I can't buy them all!

I can understand that, sure. Then the best thing (IMHO) is to check the Steam Specials tab every weekend from now on. They run tasty promotions on a regular basis. Odds are good you'll be able to get most everything you want at a substantial discount by mid-Feb or so.

As I recall they ran a number of promotions for L4D a month or two after release where they offered it for 50% off. With any luck they will do the same for the sequel.

Yup, I picked up L4D super-cheap via a Steam special. Ten or twelve bucks, can't remember.

Meanwhile, just found confirmation that the pre-purchase demo unlocks today at 3 p.m. Must be West Coast time, correct? So 6 p.m. tonight in the Middle West.
