  Not sure if I should have posted this under Deals, so more people saw it by default on the new site.... oh well, it is technically a freebie :)

  Moved to misc as we generally do not allow downloads as freebies...

  Do you reckon this would work:
  If you don't have a NVIDIA gfx card go round a mates, log on to steam on his pc.
  Get portal on your games list. Go home, log onto Steam on your pc and download portal from your games list?
  
  I'm on a mac but I can run windows if this trick works!

  Thanks to OP, downloding now!
  
  emmajk42: Steam is a buying platform online - you can buy PC games, this is a free offer so I would say a HOT DEAL

  It's technically a free online purchase, as Steam is used to sell Half Life 2, sub episodes, etc ... :thumbsup: :)

  Oh you might wanna add that it's usually $19.00 to buy to your OP.

  Sorry guys and gals, looks like First Slice isn't the full game, merely an "extended demo" made from the existing Portal title :(

  Guys, I know what steam is... it is still a free download of this game... which we do not allow in freebies.

  Gah, I was *so* excited when I saw the thread title. :cry:
  
  Thanks for letting us know it's only a demo.

  Loved Portal. Unfortunately, just after i completed it there was a Steam update and ever since then every time i launch Steam i get a blue screen of death on my PC :?

  If you already have Orange Box or Portal installed, then Portal First Slice will not show up in your games list :(

  Why would you want it to? Its a extended demo of a game you already have! :giggle: :giggle:

  Anyone know what the actual minimum specs are for Portal?
  (that is, what it will really run on, rather than what is quoted - I stopped looking at those a long time ago as they usually bear no resemblance to reality )
  
  Lost Coast complained, but ran happily (Athlon 850 / 512MB/ Ti200 is well below their recommended spec) but Portal simply refused to do anything :(
  
  I shoud probably hold off on the Orange Box for now....
