OMFG! I have been waiting for this for a while now. Anyone else going to get it? It is going to be 1200 Microsoft points but I think it is going to be worth it.

So stoked, adding points tonight just to be ready. Portal is one of the best games ever made. IMO.

Now, I'm gonna pass and wait for this one. It's the entire game from TOB, with 14 new levels, but, here's the bad part, no new story, no new GLaDOS voice cuts. It's the levels from the flash version of the game, just made in 3d.
I'm gonna have to boo Valve on this one, but L4D will totally make up for it.

Yeah same here. I downloaded the trail version and like you said its the same so I am going to have to pass. i might get it sometime in the future but not right now. But like you said, L4D will totally make up for it.

The extra 14 missions are pretty cool, they've added some new elements like electric floors and adding lots of small windows.

Definetly worth the buy if you've not played Orange Box or Portal before. If you're only getting it for the new missions, it's not worth it imo.

Yeah, maybe I will get it next year when things have calmed down.

I would recommend getting Portal for PC. If you have Half-Life 2 you can get a few different 3rd party mods (including the Flash Version Map Pack) for free.

I paid $2 for a Portal CD key, and traded a cheap XBLA game for Half Life 2, one of the best gaming values I've ever gotten.

Portal for PC supports the 360 gamepad.

I already have Portal as part of the Orange Box, so it's not on my radar, but it's such a good game I can see people purchasing this whether they have it already or not.
I'm not sure how well it did on XBLA in terms of sales though.
