pre-load the game so they are able to play at 12:01 am EST on November 18, 2008
when the game is made available.
The pre-order discount is also available for both the PC and 360 versions at
participating retail outlets.
Playable in single player, co-operative, and multiplayer modes, Left 4 Dead is
one of the most anticipated releases of 2008 and winner of numerous pre-launch
awards, including Best of E3 from multiple outlets. The official
demo for the game is
available now through November 17 for the PC and Xbox 360.
