Steam is now selling 2-packs with a 20% discount, makes price $40 per person. Suppose people could group to pick it up closer to the date.
I'll be getting this when I get home, thanks for the heads up

Where have you played through the game, if I may ask? I wonder how you came to the conclusion that it's not worth $40.
without context your opinion is worth pretty much what it cost.In my opinion $50,, even $40 is too much for this game.
You just know this game will be $10 after a year.. and then free another year after that.
Just like the first portal. (yes valve was giving portal away for free not to long ago)
And it will probably be bundled for free with every cheap new video card.
I can wait.
Considering Valve's effort to tie into the HL universe with the first Portal, I would be surprised if Portal 2 didn't in some way set things up for a convergence of the two series in Ep 3.Meh who cares about Portal, game was WAY overrated. I'll take EP3 please.

portal 2 is not another set of puzzles, it is actually full featured SP game
Probably more pandering to publishers and retailers by Valve.
I don't see the point at all in pre-ordering a digital version of a game unless it comes with some kind of bonus content/beta access or a discount. It's not like they can "run out" of digital copies in the same way the physical copies can.
No. What explains the price difference is that Portal 1 was a part of a larger package and at best took 4-5 hours to beat. This game is (or should be) significantly longer, with an additional coop campaign also included.I do understand that this is a full game and not DLC.
However i do not remember Portal 1 costing $50 on release day.
If i had to guess the reason the PC version was priced this high, it would be probably in order to avoid cannibalizing console sales which by default are always $50+ per game.
Portal 1, was PC only on release day, and eventually released on xbox, then PS3.
Portal 2 is being released on PC and all consoles at the same time,
Which would explain why Portal 1 was probably cheaper on its release day, than Portal 2.
In my opinion $50,, even $40 is too much for this game.
Why are you even here?
Just ordered the two-pack on Steam for my girlfriend and I. She's away in law school so we play Left 4 Dead on her free time to keep the long distance not feel so far. She loved Portal 1 so I just HAD to get this for her for Valentines Day. Best boyfriend ever? I think so.
It's a game, not a car.The reason i don't think this game is worth $40, is due to the eventual rapid devaluation.

While I doubt Portal 2 will offer as good a value as the Orange Box did, you're delving pretty deep into conspiracy theory territory to explain something that is actually pretty simple. Portal 2 has more content than Portal did, thus they are charging more.
What's even funnier is that you criticize him for taking conclusions without knowing everything, yet you do the same...How doe that work for you ?
You have no idea how long Portal 2 is and how it compares to Portal 1. You even use "(should be) significantly longer", which indicates you don't know, yet you justify that it's acceptable the more than double the price of Portal 1, for Portal 2, based on what ? The coop compaign ?
Straw man...
Heh, straw man argument? I think not. Some people value co-op; just because you do not does not make it invalid.
Read my post again. I was not criticizing the other poster for not seeing the value in Portal 2. I was challenging the notion that it costs more because of it being released on consoles (which the first Portal was as well on launch).Thanks for proving my point!
The guy I quoted was criticizing another person for not seeing value in Portal 2 @ its asking price. He proceeded to say that if it has more content, then it will cost more.
Well maybe, just maybe, the person that he was criticizing first, just doesn't see value in the new content, which is why he thinks $50 is too much ?
You obviously didn't come to the rescue when that happened!
Double standards! How I hate the!
