Portal 2's Guide to Valentine's Day Gift Buying

Pre-order Portal 2 for your beloved

Written by punkyliar on 14 February 11 at 21:52

A lot of people have difficulty selecting a suitable Valentine's Day gift for their beloved. Valve has decided to help you with this conundrum, and have offered some sound advice in their Valentine's Day Gift Buying guide.



Unfortunately, Aperture Science has not released Portal guns for general retail consumption, but the next best alternative, Portal 2, is now available for pre-order. Many stores are offering exclusive pre-order bonuses.

These retailers will be offering exclusive customized skins for the co-op bots Atlas and P-body:

North America - GameStop - $54.99
Spain - GameStop - €64.98
Germany - GameStop - €69.99

EB Games will be offering a limited edition game case and a Portal 2 Rubik's cube.

Australia - $108.00
New Zealand - $119.99
Limited Edition


Valve has confirmed that these retailers will be offering a pre-order bonus but no details have been released yet about the extra content. I will update this article when the information becomes available.

UK - GAME.co.uk - £39.99
France - Micromania - €69.99
Australia - JB HiFi - $109.00

"FACT: Flowers contain bees."

Could not stop laughing at that. That was excellent.

FACT: If I wasn't so tight on money, I'd be reserving this right now.

Will buy this game... from Amazon. If the bonus skins are cheap ($2 or less), I'll Ebay them. I won't support Gamestop if I can avoid it.

Am I the only one that does not give a flying fuck about the co-op? I am sick and fucking tired of seeing those two wall-e rejects, hell they are on the box for Christ sakes! I want single player to be the focus, NOT multiplayer.

That said I know Ill have to find someone to do co-op with because knowing valve they will throw in a bunch of shitty MP only achievements.

How can this game be worth $60? Orange box had like 5 games on it and was a crazy value. I dont see how this game cant be a dissapointment at full price. I will buy it 2 years from now when its 8 bucks.

That is shit. I can't believe I'm just finding out now that Portal 2 is a retail game. For $60 it had better come with the update for TF2 or I'm pirating this game. Wait this long for nothing...
AdolphMarx the great.
