I'm buying it when my bank account does not consist of only cents.
Also Valve will probably give hats for tf2 at pre-purchase, they do it for everything.

by **Argent** » Tue Feb 15, 2011 9:43 pm

There's already the portal pin in the game raws, they'll probably give us that. It is delicious and moist and I want it.

I'm starting my preorder after Dragon Age II cometh and sucketh my time away.

by **Mech** » Tue Feb 15, 2011 10:07 pm

I thought the portal pin was for pax testers, but maybe.

by **Argent** » Tue Feb 15, 2011 10:14 pm

Was that what it was for? TO THE WIKI!

Edit:

Looks like a tester at PAX got a "Vintage Companion Cube Pin", but it hasn't been officially released yet, so I'm gunna put my money on it being a gift for pre-orderers of Portal 2.

I hear if you get it for PS3 you get it free for PC.

That is what I shall be doing, as I have both a PC and a PS3, and 2 platforms for the price of one is very nice indeed.

Farnsworth and I already got a double-pack.

I'm thinking about doing this as well, because I really want somebody I know to at least try out Portal. (he has a PS3) Compared to everyone else, Amazon is offering nothing but the price drop for the preorder. (just a head's up)

I have both too. Does it work the other way around, as it does with PC-Mac cross-platforming?

Just for the record, I did the 10% discount-plus-free-Portal promo and gave the free copy to a friend (I got Portal for free when Steam was first released on Mac).

by **Fencerboy** » Mon Feb 21, 2011 1:40 pm

regardless of tf2 items i am still getting this game
it is going to be epic!

Until the release, if you have Doom II, there's a mod for the ZDoom source port and its branches that is based on the Portal mechanic. (with a few additions) It's called ZPortal, and the final level is very long.

Sorry to bump, but I just had to share this:

The official Portal 2 USB hub! (jk, it's just a weird coincidence

Also we need hook up for co-op games when it comes out! That's the first thing I want to try: Co-op!

First thing I'm doing is go through the single-player campaign.

Fun fact: The scene with you, Wheatley, and GLaDOS changed a bit. Not telling you guys what's different. You'll see for yourself.

I'm going to pretend that I never saw that. Sorry, I think the game is worth more than a virtual pin.

Speaking of pins, I just hope I can still get one. (preorderd from Gamestop, and can't get cash for cancelling since I paid a majority of it with store credit)

Then at least play it, Mike. Play it, beat it, put it down. pick up when you want to play again in 4-18 months. (What I do.)

im still thinking about it tho, cause right now my life =
school, if not in school im playing tennis, if im not playing tennis im doing hw, if im not doing hw im playing tf2, if im not playing tf2 im eigher sleeping or at work D:

Website · by **Nikki Wolf** » Sun Apr 17, 2011 2:01 am

It's simple: If you don't want to play it or ever will think about playing it, don't "burn 50 doula." Don't buy it just for a virtual item. If you're desperate for the pin, go to trade servers and see if anyone is willing to sell it.

tomorrow

in about 15 hours it seems.....so pretty much little bit after I get home from work tonight

by **WHAMbulance** » Mon Apr 18, 2011 1:52 pm

Yup in 13 hours 45 minutes. Oh wait. That was the scheduled launch time.

Valve's evil genius marketing team just racked up an epic win.

by **Cash** » Mon Apr 18, 2011 6:11 pm

nvm. disregard this post lol...

by **HibiscusKazeneko** » Mon Apr 18, 2011 11:47 pm

It's ready to play, but I have a warning: it only works on Mac OS X 10.6.7 or higher.
Until I can get to a point where I can upgrade I won't be able to play.

by **John Magnum** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 12:30 am

Bleugh, it gives me a C++ runtime error when it hits the main menu. Once I validated the integrity of my etc. and it flagged something, reinstalled, and gave me the same error. Sigh!

by **Toaster** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 12:41 am

I got to chapter 2 and I like it too much to play while really tired.

Will continue the epic enjoyment tomorrow

I don't even get a error.

Shows the valve video, then shows the P-body load screen then kicks to desktop.....validate the game cache says problem with 1 failed and says redownloaded and fixed and repeat problem.

by **John Magnum** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 9:20 am

There's a giant forum thread about the crash, no dev response. Whatever. Submitted a support ticket. Come on, Valve, let me love you.

My guess I wont be able to play till tonight at the earliest.....staff are more worried about replying to "console port" threads.

Beat co-op, was fucking awesome. Did it with some random guy, took about 1hr

Z and I got stuck on the third CD part

by **John Magnum** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 8:50 pm

Valve has announced that my problem is apparently related to FAT32 (freaking Valve, twice before TF2 has been broken on FAT32 and now Portal 2 freaks out on it). The current workaround is "install it on an NTFS drive", which has varying success and isn't an option to me anyway. They have confirmed that they're working on a permanent solution.

Thanks, Valve. I'll try to calm down. I just want to love Portal 2, you know?

Valve is retarded, the drive thing was found and tested LONG ago by the player base while they waited for valve to "wake up" and that fix barely works for anyone.

Dude the 5th stage makes stage 3 look like a joke lol.

Btw if anyone wants to do co-op shoot me a PM on steam. I'm only interested on doing it from start to finish however.

by **HibiscusKazeneko** » Thu Apr 21, 2011 3:10 pm

UPDATE:
I went to Fry's today to ask about getting OS X 10.6.7, apparently it's not slated to come out until later this year.
WHAT THE FUCK VALVE?!? First the fiasco with the Scream Fortress update and now this! :evil:

EDIT: Scratch the above; apparently it's the CD version of 10.6.7 that's slated to come out. The upgrade is already available, so I can just buy 10.6.3 and upgrade from there (please correct me if I'm wrong).

by **BoB Dolen** » Sat Apr 23, 2011 2:08 am

Seems I'll have to wait till next week to hopefully play.......
