Valve made the Left 4 Dead 2 pre-order thing official. This afternoon, the studio has confirmed that starting now, any who pre-order the game from participating retailers or Steam, will receive “early access” to its demo as well as ten percent off the purchase price. But, wait, that's not all! Pre-orderers will also get the in-game bonus “American baseball bat,” a melee weapon used to kill, we believe, zombies and such.
The demo release date is “targeted” for an October 27th release date, which jives with the information publisher EA dished out at their pre-TGS event a few weeks ago.
The 360 and PC versions of L4D2 hit retail this November 17th. It probably won't be coming to the PS3.

If it's the Scout's Sandman, I will put babies in Valve.
10% is "meh" considering that New Jersey tax here is 7% so...........I don't know.
You do realize that it's supposed to be a cheesy tagline, right? It's a zombie game made by Valve, after all. A slight sense of humor is required.
I put in a ridiculous amount of time with the L4D1 demo. Since I probably won't be able to afford this game right away either, I'll probably end up playing this one until the servers dry up.
I didn't really like any of the ones from L4D1.
Think you might have missed the point of the tagline just a bit.
In actuality, it's fantastic.
Yeah, I just did that. Like, right now.
*looks*
Oh fuck me. Thats the day borderlands comes out.
you guys might complain, but i think its a good deal. If you were truly as obsessed as i am (which is alott) then you would be psyched at the chance to play it in the demo before it comes out.
