There are two kinds of people in the world: those who need to play more Portal maps, no matter the cost, and those sour wretches who'd be well advised to hide, woefully unaware of just how badly the first group needs a fresh Portal fix. Since we're quite certain bloodletting won't bring you more Portal maps, news of an updated Source SDK should prove to be more promising. You see, the engine that powers the wonderful worlds of Valve has "been updated with content and tools to create maps, models, and textures for Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Portal, and Team Fortress 2."
Yes, we know, that's all well and great for the PC crowd out there (they couldn't even wait, getting a headstart on the fun courtesy of a Bethesda level designer) but what about their console counterparts? Hey Valve, we got a news flash for you: Portal prints money. Drop some DLC on the Xbox Live Marketplace, charge like a bajillion Billy Bucks for each level, and build a real Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device. And then invite us over, okay?

And don't forget to include the option to add the Weighted Companion Cube while you're at it.

"I invited your best friend, the Companion Cube. Of course he couldn't come, because you murdered him."
Companion Cube is male... Or genderless. When the gender is unknown or ambiguous, the grammatically correct thing to do is use the masculine terms. In English, at least.

I would actually prefer for Valve to stay far, far away from the demon that is DLC.

Does Microsoft have a policy that all DLC has to be pay? Has any game developer given free content, ie. maps, levels, etc before?

I've been waiting for this. We desperately need more TF2 maps. 6 Maps just isn't enough, even for a budget priced game.
We especially need maps for few players. It's impossible to play on most maps with 4-6 players. But that's what I want to do, if I play only with my friends.
I think I'll get to work on a small TF 2 map later this day.
