Left 4 Dead 2 4-Pack Hook-Up Thread

I ordered for myself, wife and son, but not sure if my brother wants in so I might have an extra copy - will keep ya posted.

I wasnt sure who was part of a group or not, but Tamren, Datyedyeguy and Renji, I sent you all PM's about starting a quartet.

Ohh, I like music.

I still would like in on this if someone will PM me I would be indebted forever. I am at my GFs for the weekend and may not respond promptly.

I need 2 others, just send me a PM and we can set this up.

i'm going to buy the 4 pack. who wants in?

I was kind of hoping that Vavle would be Valve and take their sweet time responding, as I sort of burned through my game fund thanks to D2D's anniversary sale. If whoever ends up paying doesn't mind waiting a week or two for me to kick in my share, I'm still in. If not, feel free to give my spot to someone with cash in hand.

I'm cool with it. Just don't change your mind before you've sent me the money. I'll PM you with my contact info.

I would like a copy, but am not sure if I have the money. I will probably have the money very soon. How does one with an uncertain future procure a potential spot in one of these 4-pack dealies?

I have one copy left. Please PM me if you'd like it.

Sent you a PM. Would love to take the fourth chair.

EDIT: No more copies left. Very excited to see you all at demo and release time.

no more copies. Hope you get someone elses.

TheCounselor - I just wanted to post and say thank you for buying the pack for the group, it's appreciated.

I Look forward to playing with everyone

I'm pumped that so many GWJers have ordered it already. Can't wait for the demo.

No problem.

Yeah, sorry Stengah, but you did say I could go with someone with "cash in hand," right? I'm sure you'll find another spot. Cgeorge, did you manage to fill your group?

Should we start editing OP with the quartets to make it easier on new comers to find empty slots or to start new purchase groups?

that would definitely help. Maybe just update the OP with names of anyone who is still looking for a copy.

I thought about that but decided it was too much work to keep up to date.

I'd like to get in on this. Not sure if there's any groups needing people (lost track) but if guys want to start a new group, let me know. I can do the initial purchase if needed.

If my math is correct, we end up paying $33.75 a pop for this individually, is that correct? Seems like a weird amount, so just wanted to check.

That is correct, a full $11 better than single pre-order and $16 upon game release,

I'd like in on a 4-pack. If there is anyone who can purchase that I could reimburse that would be ideal as my PayPal is running on empty. PM me.

EDIT: Looks like I'll be taking the last spot in Lobster's four-some since I have the fundage, if that's ok with you Stengah.

EDIT EDIT: All done. Lobster's 4-some is complete.

Fantastic. I've never saved so much on a new release before. I'm usually more of a 'wait-till-the-price-drop-and-till-the-cool-kids-move-on' kind of guy. Rummaging through Gamestop value bins and what-not. Kind of like the District 9 aliens rummaging for blue goo.

Money sent, TheCounselor. Can't wait for release. Maybe the four of us can play a round of co-op together sometime.

Heck, maybe all the groups would have fun doing that.

I'm definitely feeling like I will need to maximize my L4D time now!

I purchased a 4 pack for $134.99 which does come out to $33.75 but with the paypal fee I got from receiving people's funds, I had to charge a little more to break even. So each person of my pack paid $34.96. I ended up 10 cents over since not every transaction had the same fee amount (I don't quite understand Paypal). So each person was surcharged 3.33333333 cents for purchasing my pack, sorry!

What can I say, you have to pay for convenience right?

Oh yeah, you did? Hmm. Personally, I just took the $1.50 per person hit. I guess I love GWJ more than you do.

I'm in the same boat, but it's all part of the plan. I'm pre-ordering L4D3 if anyone is interested. $65/each is a great deal...

I will wait till a big weekend deal. I would have appreciated a downloadable add-on over a new release. L4D is a great game, but not deep enough to warrant a yearly release. There are games like COD, that come out every 2 years (just considering IW releases) and you get a well-designed single player game with a great online component. I will pick this up when it is on sale for $19.99.
