    The PC version of Left 4 Dead 2 is now just $29.99 with free shipping on the Dell store website. I dont know how much longer this price will stay but get it fast if you have been contemplating on buying this game.

    I paid $24.99 on Steam's half off sale earlier this year. So, purchasing this is getting the game 2 for 1. The only drawback is the 1-2 week shipping time. If you can wait that long for shipping, then it's well worth the $20 savings this early in its release.

    The core idea is similar, so kinda yeah, but they added many new small changes, new infected, weapons etc so it feels like a super expanded L4D1.

    Depending on what bored you about L4D1, it might not be of your liking, or it could rekindle your interest in the game.

    i think its better than left 4 dead. but for some reason it doesnt have the same feel. there is much less panic on the bright levels but the dark levels are much scarier and chaotic than the original left 4 dead. also in the light levels you randomly accidentaly shoot the witch mistaking it for a regular zombie. but its very fun. imma get it friday.

    Just a clarification. You are talking about the PC version not the Xbox 360 one right?

    I was planning to get it from Dell but was hesitant due to the 1-2 week delivery time. If its $30 at Gamestop this friday I will definately pick up a copy.

    I guess Ill pick up a copy of Left 4 Dead 2 tomorrow at Gamestop. The once in a rare occasion I buy anything out of that store ;P

    I have Modern Warfare 2 already. Will I be just as excited or is L4D2 much better?

    Boycott MW2 cause they SCREWED PC Gamers but LFD2 looks alright and the Demo seems fun.
    One thing I would think is that LFD2 would get repetitive.
