In case you missed it, Valve's online store now stocks a test subject's best and happily unsuspecting friend, the Weighted Companion Cube. Made of soft and sufficiently flammable polyester fiber, the demonically dimensioned (6" x 6" x 6") pal can be introduced to yourself or a "real" friend for $29.95. Unlike those irksome human mates you may or probably don't have, the companion cube will never complain when you hog all the cake or inevitably murder him.
[Thanks, PeteyH]

Since I haven't played Portal yet, all this companion cube stuff seems reall silly.

There's a simple solution to that: play Portal.

I want to but I don't feel like buying HL 2 again. I got it for the PC when it first came out.
I'm hoping for a stand alone version

So $29.95 huh, does it talks? .oh wait stupid question. Well at least I'm sure it won’t stab me.
Anyway I'm still waiting for my Portal Shirt and Team fortress 2 posters. I might order it but what I really want is one of those head crab hats to prove my nerdiness.

At that price, no wonder China is winning with cheap rip-offs.

30 Bucks and it isn`t even a proper cube !

Personally, I got the fuzzy dice. I intend to split them, and keep one at home and one at the office.
Mwa ha ha ha ha!

Only shipping within the US = fail.

No, that only applies to P.O. Box deliveries and their free shipment offer. I'm able to order this from the UK.

I had to buy a pair - one for me and one for my ex-girlfriend (this is the only game she played and got into). Thanks for the tip cred ;)

Also, the main character in the game is a girl. Naturally, the companion would be male.

I'd buy one if they made an 18"x18"x18" version.

A little pricey, but I'd rather buy one than have to go through the hassle of making one myself(I was in the middle of making the pattern). I'm sold.

Wow, really cool. kinda expensive tho. i'm on the fence on this one.

Dimensions: 6"x6"x6"
Conclusive evidence that the weighted companion cube is actually the "beast" prophesied by John and will, in fact, threaten to stab you.

You can make your own that is actually a cube for about five or ten dollars.
Thirty bucks? Ridiculous.
Now that I've seen the price, I'm just about ready to go out and buy some felt and stuff.

You know,I used to think of Portal as this cool little puzzle game. Now I basically hate of because of all the retarded shit that came from this game.
I get it. There was supposed to be cake and instead you almost got killed,there was no cake. There's a cube that you have in the game for about 12 seconds and drop into a pit. I am not even slightly amused.
I get it,I just don't want it.

As much as I would like an official WCC, this one isn't even cube-ish. A plastic one that is actually a cube would've been cooler.

Thirty bucks? Maybe for the Cube Dice AND the plushie.
But damn, I still want it!
