 Valve's Doug Lombardi has revealed that their upcoming zombie kill-athon has already exceeded the Orange Box for pre-orders, speaking with VGChartz.
He said this was mostly down to the 10% off promotion which had "driven largely" the retail pre-order sales. The demo and a massive ad campaign will help that trend he adds. | |

While he expects some backlash he adds that he's actually "looking forward to getting into that discussion with them." A discussion? You mean a pelting right? Right? | |
