It is , I just installed it a few minutes ago . Just open your steam , go to the store , type portal in the search bar , click on portal which will have the price of 19.99 under it & when the page open up just scroll down and click install.

That's what I just did & it worked.

It was $10

People can buy $40 handheld games but can't buy $10 games?
(:I

Don't take this srs. 'Tis just a joke.

EDIT: It would appear it was $20.
My bad.
Still.
Y U NO BUY ORANGE BOX? You get all the HL2 episodes (and premium TF2) and Portal for the price of Portal.

Nevermind, I used the excuse I used to use (spamming the verb to use ftw).
I actually can't get it because I can't have a credit card until next year and my mother is paranoid as fuck with online stores.

And retail isn't an option, to help you make an idea of how it is, DS games are 150 dollars or so right now. And the only reasonable alternate buying method (local ebay-like site)has no PC games at all since everyone just pirates them.

Ah, yes, I forgot that you lived in Australia.
Terribly sorry about what I said earlier then~
I'm not too knowledgeable on this, but does Australia have those Prepaid Visa cards?
Either way, I had the same issue a few years ago, where I couldn't get a credit card and my parents were always paranoid about buying online.

_Chaz_ · Sep 16, 2011

I got it back when it was free for that one week. I'm surprised that enough people didn't to make this worthy of jizzing over.

That must be a crime, that's definitely Highway Robbery.

Yeah, it's pretty insane. Last time I checked an old Animal Crossing game was 140 ±
I guess that's what you get for living in a developing country. Everything tech-related is way overpriced.

Yeah, even fake games like 1:1 carts with games on them are overpriced in most places. It's probably often easier to steal them in an open black market (like they'd do in Bolivia

)

I made 4 steam accounts just to download Portal one, so I can give 3 accounts to my friends...
I normally wouldn't do this, since there isn't co-op. But since some guy made a co-op mod... Its worth it.

boktor666 · Sep 19, 2011

downloading it now, since i got a new computer wich is able to run it. Does anybody else have the weird feeling that it wont be free anymore after the 20th (with that, i mean: you own it, but then again, you will have to buy it cause its free etc)

Rydian · Sep 20, 2011

I haven't heard of that happening with anything on steam or from valve.

Portal WAS free on Steam
