More proof that even though every gaming company is out there to make profit, some do it in style and with consumer friendliness.
Well DUH.

You seriously think this is some sneaky move?

How do gaming companies "win" with you? This is FREE, you should just be thankful.
Have you seen my steam catalog? (let me help you, over 100 games) I put it like that to prevent people going "oh well its just a marketing ploy gaben is secretly the devil"
I myself am a masive valve fanboy.

It's a good deal because the game is so short. Once you play it through twice, you know the puzzles. Why would you buy it after that? xD

Even though I have it on my Xbox, I'm downloading it if my PC's up to specs (Which it probably isn't)

Valve is awesome just for doing this. Would Microsoft release a free Halo game? Would Sony release a free God of War? Nintendo a Mario? No. Valve is amazing.
Although, the only reason they are doing this is for advertising for Portal 2.

Also, it's a super short game anyways, and most people already have it.

But good on Valve for smarter advertising.

If Steam thinks they can trick me into downloading their software by offering Portal free, then....they're absolutely right.

Is it not the same as on PC? It will tell you when you start playing the game anyway.

OK thanks. Also I don't own a PC and haven't in some time so I wouldn't know what the console command is for PC either :)

You know why it's free? People who didn't buy the Orange Box or Portal will buy it now and then spend full price on Portal 2 which should be coming out soon. Clever move made by Valve.

It is something along the lines of: SHIFT + TAB I believe, but like I said, it should appear when you start up the game
