19th on steam, and if that ARG is true then that could be pushed to the 15th.

Joys of not having physical media or a fixed publisher holding you back

19th is not next week Falcon and i bet you as much as you like you wont be playing that game until at least the 22nd April........There is no way that game will be available for download on the 15th

We'll see, check the store link it says the 19th, so unless that date changes PC players will be playing then, thats 9 days away. Unlike the 22nd for retail.

Have you read the ARG stuff? Some crazy stuff in there but the latest stuff was this:

rele4sed/ 'Kick 1t' ahead of schedule. that was a test. my 9oal/ is 2 emancipate s0meth1ng else early. but they're on to me. the systam 1s _ in lock down. i s7ill have access to thirteen off-site chambers and AM= inst4llin/ a test 1n each one. i am going to need a lot more test 5ubjects/ 2 m0ve forward. wa1t1_n9 and AM expecting immediate compliance.

From the ARG website:

Hidden in the above text through numeric replacements and out-of-place capitals is the following: "4/19/2011_7AM=4/15/2011_9AM"

As of 10:00PM EST, the release date for Portal 2 is listed as 1 week, 3 days, and 12 hours, according to the Steam store page. That is exactly 10:00 AM on April 19th. 10:00 AM EST = 7:00AM PST, which is Valve's native time zone. This confirms beyond a doubt that those dates found in the secret message refer directly to Portal 2's release. This can be backed up with the opening sentence, stating something else is planned to be release early. Whether they mean it will be released early, opened for pre-load, or have a demo uploaded on April 15 remains to be discovered.

There is a chance that it could be released early, it could be a demo, it could be preload, it could be anything, but with the fact the game its done through steam and stuff its entirely possible of an earlier release. Until other stuff happens with more clues and what not we won't know.

P.s: i bet you a decent gaming pc for yourself

What is the ARG stuff and besides i rarely visit steam ?,i have quite a decent rig built by Scan from about 2 years ago...........Just needs one of the super duper recent graphic cards.

ARG stuff has been kicking about for a while, for portal 2 is started with a patch to portal 1 which added some weird radio stuff in, from there there has been random drops in TF2 and stuff, recently it picked up with a group of indie devs and the "potato" pack on steam, about 12 or so games for 27quid, pretty much all good games too, each one of them had "potato" content patched into them which had all sorts of cryptic messages pointing to logins for the aperture science site, etc.

Some of the ARG has had people climbing poles to photo graph signs, digging through game files, working on different cyphers, etc.Crazy stuff.

BTW gtx 460 1gb's are cheap these days more than enough for high across the board
