I shall be buying this game

Although I am quite tempted to wait for it to be on special before I do, as I now have an allergy to paying full-price for computer games.

Very amused that there was an ad before the ad.

Less amused that if you decide to click the "Replay" button you get served another ad, though.

Portal was the only game I played where afterwards I thought "I feel like I didn't pay enough for that, I wonder if there's any way I can buy it more expensively" :)

I just found the ad before the ad confusing. I was thinking, "So there's a Skoda game coming out? Or a drumming game sponsored by Skoda? Or...?"

But yes. I'll be getting Portal 2 as well. Not particularly because of that video, but because of the mechanic videos like the Thermal Discouragement Beam and the Excursion Funnels. (And the Valentine's Day trailer reminded me how much I like their sense of humour.)

I love that Sky Broadband advert.

How special is "on special" cos the pre-order's been on 10%-off on Steam for ages (and still is I believe)?

Half price. So at least six months after release.

As I have Mass Effect 2, and a bunch of other games I can pick up for half price, in the queue I should be fine for that long :->

i'm the same, waiting for deadspace 2 to come down to a reasonable price. Been burned far too often paying full price for a game, then having it come in at half price a couple of months later (eg fallout new vegas)
