Shack PSA: Left 4 Dead 40% Off Sale Accompanies Free Friday Trial, Player Stats Now Available
by Chris Faylor, May 01, 2009 8:47am PDTUpdate: Valve has extended the free trial until 1pm EDT / 10am PDT on Saturday.
Original: With the full version of Left 4 Dead free-to-play until 7:59 PM EDT / 4:59 PM PDT today, developer Valve has kicked off a weekend-long 40% off sale on the PC edition.
That brings the price of the cooperative zombie shooter down to $23.99 in the United States. Thanks to a recent price drop, that means it's cheaper than ever before on Steam, with a previous $24.99 sale having brought about a 3000% sales increase.
The studio also announced that a new statistics page is available via Steam Community, enabling players to glimpse a multitude of gameplay-related figures, including weapon usage, accuracy, pill consumption, and damage dealt to teammates.
Thanks to Shacker ajvitaly for the tip.

I played on full for a bit but it got sluggish during big rushes so I dropped it back down to recommended and everything was fine.
The game's great and I"ll gladly pay $10 for it but more than that is a bit much.

The other two campaigns being available in Versus mode is great, and some of the maps are much improved with good areas for the Infected to launch ambushes from. On the other hand, some maps were given way too many healthpacks and are a bit too easy for the Survivors to waltz right through. Hopefully they balance that back a bit.

I'm thinking of spashing out on this game, but how much replay value does it really have? Do people who have owned it since day 1 still play it, or is it something that you soon tire of?

Whatever, I'm still playing it as much as during christmas time. Just kind of peeved that it took 6 months to figure out how to do a stats page layout.
