    just thought I'd mention that, at least in europe, the preload for Portal 2 is active now.

    Steam's servers are getting hammered, I can't pre-load right now.

    So what actually is pre-loading? Is it like pre-ordering?

    You load the game prior to it releasing.

    Why do it if you can't play it anyway? To not have to download and install it day of release?

    If you preordered the game you can download it prior to the actual release so you dont have to wait for it to DL when they actually release it. Pretty much you now have one week to download it and can play day 1.

    Well I have CS:S, HL2, TF2 and L4D2 all installed on here already, so my guess is after. Either that or it is all new shit. But if it isn't, this game must be friggin' huge.

    @AlexW00d: I guess I'll get cracking on the pre-load then, it's going to be busy as hell in my area.

    Just bought the game a few minutes ago. I didn't quite realise how close the release date was. For some reason I thought it was still about a month away.
