Spreading the good news tonight, Valve Software has announced that their highly anticipated co-op based zombie shooter, Left 4 Dead, is now available for pre-order through Steam for just $44.99 (a 10% discount!). According to the official press release, Valve is expecting some pretty big sales numbers from the game:
"With just over four weeks until launch, Left 4 Dead is showing every sign of topping The Orange Box on both the PC and Xbox 360, at retail as well as on Steam," said Doug Lombardi, VP of marketing at Valve. "Our pre-sell numbers at retail have jumped to over 65% greater than Orange Box at the same proximity to launch, and we're seeing tremendous enthusiasm for the product in what promises to be another great year for gaming on both platforms."
Left 4 Dead is scheduled for release in North America on November 18 and in Europe on November 21.
