Valve's at it again with another midweek sale, this time carefully trimming 50 percent off the price of its latest, Left 4 Dead 2. This brings the game down to the very decent price of $25, until Thursday, March 25 at 4pm PDT -- leaving you ample dollars and cents to stock up on additional ammo for the real zombie apocalypse that will no doubt one day happen. Seriously, it's gonna happen.
But, we digress. If digital distribution isn't your thing, L4D2 is also on sale on Amazon today, allowing you to get a physical copy of the game on either the Xbox 360 or PC for the same price. For once, beggars can be choosers!
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

Blast, I bought L4D2 while vacationing in India for only $15 but due to Steam's region restrictions, it won't work here. I can't even get on this deal since the game is in my games list. I contacted Steam to get them to remove it so I can buy this. Hope they can do it. : (

Yeah, during the Steam Holiday Sale in late December, they put a hold on my debit card because I bought so many things on the sale at one time. : P
I asked them nicely to remove the hold so I could further drain my wallet and they obliged. I hope they'll do the same here, don't you want my $25 Valve?

You can activate it on steam when you insert the dvd, to be honest since im a frugal shopper i'd take the $1 discount

I just canceled. I can't wait to play L4D2. Plus it's cheaper overall. Don't worry, I'm still waiting to get Heavy Rain from Amazon for 35$ :D

That is why I love Valve, older set ups don't get left out of the fun

Technically, you have already used Steam. Half-Life 2 requires it.

Good on ya Smooth. Now bask in the awesomeness that is Steam by grabbing:
Plants Vs Zombies
Peggle
Osmos
Portal
Titan Quest Gold
Trine
Torchlight
Alien Shooter 2 and Zombie Shooter 2 (cheesy but a lot of fun)
Braid
Left 4 Dead 1 (still excellent, better than the sequel in many instances)
All the Dawn of War games.
Heck any big-release game of the last 5 years lol.
Prepare to be broke during Christmas. Their Steam sales are beyond fantastic.

This is great, but I figured Valve would drop the price of the original L4D to match. Still sitting at $29.99 right now on Steam.
