left4dead realease date

[chimpmunk]

Ok, so the release date is on the 18th for the US and on the 21th (november, of course) for the rest of the world.

What about steam copies? As someone who preordered on Steam, do I get it on the 18th or the 21th?

Dont mean to hijack, but seeing as your question has been answered, thought I might ask one of my own!

Just wondering if there is anyway for people outside of NorthAmerica to get access to the early demo?

Cheers.

Well there is steam, but as for retail I have no idea, its only 5 days early access.

The early demo starts on November 6th worldwide if you pre-order. That the important part because you don't pre-order, Steam or not, you don't get in but at a later date.

I read something about Gamestop and North America... obviously I was wrong.

Does the early access for the demo include the 360? If so then i'll preorder it off Amazon or Play.com now.

It does if you preorder from a paticipating retailer in the US Gamestop and Ebgames for sure, but I dont know of any in the UK.

I only think it's Amazon and EBGames for 360/PC in US, and don't know of any for UK.

The only UK way of getting in is the PC pre-order on Steam.

For the full announcement go here: http://www.left4dead411.com/news/2008/10/steam-pre-order-demo/ Damn though, I can't believe it's restricted to NM only. NM zombie fan or not, we should all get the demo. I did hear that if typed anything into the pre-access code area on GameStop, it would give you a code. Try that out.

Cheers for that hool!

And thanks for the info Lobster + Eagle.

I applied for an early access to the demo and typed in random numbers for the code and it said this:

"Thank You!

Early access to the demo will run from November 6th through November 11th.

Codes will begin being sent out on November 5th."

HOPEFULLY, I will recieve the code on the 5th and my 360 will accept it (it might realise that i'm in the UK!)

Thanks again.
