And yes, at 7:30PM EST there is still no demo.

With the nature of the last couple Steam client updates, I'm guessing they ran into problems with Windows 7. Since it was just released they decided to get some stuff fixed up.
But the HLDS lists also seem to have many people having problems with the dedicated server.

Fixed. They delayed it yet again, another 4 hours.

I think the Borderlands release took the wind out of their sails a bit, I'm a bit surprised at the lack of L4D2 traffic on the forums I frequent. The demo delay is probably a good thing.

From the HLDS mailing list...
We are still trying to get some final tweaks into the server so please prepare for some updates in the near future addressing some bugs recently reported to us. Thanks.

This thread reminds me of the Borderlands forums last Friday at lunch, good times.
Bah, the steam forums are much better if you're looking for angry rants.

Seeing people's demo pre-loads reset and the additional delays make me wonder if the game itself is ready for prime time. I can't imagine why it wouldn't be, because it's basically the same assets/engine/gameplay/UI as L4D.
I think it's more about a former PC developer like Valve now seeming more interested in the console release. I mean, the demo should have been wrapped up in advance to prevent issues like this occurring. When PC users are frequently treated like dirt it's no surprise to see people lash out when they see stuff like this.
Still, it's not a big issue for me. I'm waiting for the public demo.

I count myself among the proud few PC gamers but damn you all can be whiny bitches sometimes.
No dedicated server waaaaaaaaaaah
Game delayed by less than 24 hours for dedicated server waaaaaaaaaah
Console players get it a few hours earlier than us waaaaaaaaaaah
At some point you just lose credibility through all the negativity.

And it's moved back further!
If that's real outrage you need to log off and go the hell outside for a change.
Dedicated server issues angry boy. Or would you rather they drop the DS like Infinity Ward did with MW2 and just stick with Matchmaking? I'm sure we could have had L4D2 demo at the same time as the 360 players if there was no dedicated server.
But then you'd bitch about that.

Fuck you Valve. Seriously. As if PC users do not need to be ass raped any more than they already are this year you basically shove the fact that 360 has been playing it from just before NOON ON THE 27TH. 24 hour delay and ZERO reason for it other than this insulting statement from Captain Obvious.
Dedicated server has been released.
Let me get this straight. You pre-order a game so you have the privilege of playing a demo?
Incorrect. You preorder the game and get to play the demo 1 week before everyone else can. It's quite amusing how people conveniently 'forget' that the demo is releasing for everyone next week.... Who cares about facts when vitriol sounds so much better after bending the truth for greater impact, right?
Some of the most miserable and unhappy gamers on the planet are at Bluesnews
It was the $34 price point for me (4-pack preorder price). I couldn't give a shit about when the demo is released or what knick-knacks come with it.

lower price (especially if you get a 4 pack and split it up), and a baseball bat weapon exclusive.
I'm more of a chainsaw kind of guy myself.
