    With prices like these they expect me to buy L4D2?

    this is where us in the uk get ripped off. $2.49in the usa and £2.49 in the uk so almost double. its still a great price though for all the newer gamers that have never played it before.

    I bought a copy and sent it to my brother...however I think he already might have a copy of the game...is there a way my brother can transfer the game to someone else later, if my he doesn't redeem it...?

    If it's possible I wouldn't mind getting it, I'd even PayPal you $2.49 for it :p. Maybe it'll ask him next time he logs on Steam.

    I mistook their halloween deal to mean it was running until Nov. 2. Plopped it in my shopping cart, did some browsing and when I came back to checkout my total was $19.99.
    sigh. oh well, I don't play it anyways, I just wanted an extra copy for friends.

    Ya, the tf2 online portion is pretty small for the 360...That is why I snagged it for the pc.
