Valve have announced that the Left 4 Dead downloadable content will be free:

The recently announced Left 4 Dead Downloadable Content (L4D DLC) will be delivered to Xbox 360 and PC gamers free of charge.
Due for release this spring, the DLC for 2008's best-selling new game property on the PC and Xbox 360, is dubbed the L4D Survival Pack and introduces a new multiplayer game mode entitled, Survival, plus two complete campaigns for Versus Mode (Death Toll, Dead Air). A Critic's Choice Edition of the game will be heading to retail stores this spring, and will include access to all the content introduced in the L4D: Survival Pack.

Nice. It's a little sad that this is good news instead of just par for the course like it used to be back in the old days, but it's still far better than the alternative!

The US are very self-important, so if the culture changes, maybe Valve will too.

Our spring or US spring.

Also they took the path of mediocrity with survival apparently...

Topic: Left 4 Dead DLC Free for Xbox 360 and PC

So it should be.

Pretty much two new campaigns because I only played the Co-Op mode once through.

I guess microsoft didnt win this time around. Last time with tf2 they wanted to make people pay for updates while PC got them for free.

Spring in the US starts on 21st March I believe, so probably at least 6 weeks away.

Happy that it's free, as it should be.

w00t!

Achievements are still buggy as bat s***.

Achievements are still useless as bat s***.

After all 'what are you trying to prove?'
