Pre-order Left 4 Dead 2 for PC on Steam or through participating retailers and you'll be able to wear Bill's hat from Left 4 Dead in Team Fortress 2. The hat is available right now for all to wear, so long as you've pre-ordered the game.
According to the Team Fortress 2 blog, the hat came into the Team Fortress 2 universe via a science experiment:
And lest you think this is just some marketing gimmick, here's the intricate back-story justifying it: while conducting a science experiment on parallel dimensions, Bill's hat fell off a table into the Team Fortress universe.
Okay, so that's not true, but it's still neat. Also, you'll save 10% on Left 4 Dead 2 by pre-ordering the game so there's that too.
[Thanks, Liam!]

What? TF2 is the best multiplayer shooter on the market.
You must not spend much time on a PC. TF2 is easily the best multiplayer FPS this generation.
Can anyone recommend a server?
Any of the No Heroes servers.
Coulda fooled me with that tantrum. :P
What an awesome little hat. The Soldier looks like a sexy beast. I wonder how the Spy would look...
That's the soldier.
And...this finally got me to preorder L4D2. The demo vidyas looked good, but this clinched it.
It's a joke, I'm referring to a SNL skit.
And you can never have too many utterly pointless hats.
