This one’s a bit odd. Valve’s releasing new DLC for Left 4 Dead in September, free for PC owners, but $7 for Xbox 360 owners. Not bad, we’d gladly pay $7 for a full movie to one of our favorite games… but there’s a catch. It’s NOT a full movie. It’s 2 chapters of a movie, where normally a Left 4 Dead movie is 5 chapters long. What gives? This feels like the “deleted content” from Valve’s archives, not the carefully, meticulously designed levels that we thought we’re coming.
I’m still happy that we’ll have more Left 4 Dead to play, but I wish Valve cared a bit more. I would be fine if they bundled the best of the best fan content and sold that to me on my Xbox 360, as there is no way to play the user-created content outside of the PC. I suppose this will tide people over until November, when Left 4 Dead 2 comes out. But it feels a little cheap. If people really want a 20-30 min. Versus experience, why not just start on one of the later chapters?

Not sure that this is true:), but thanks for a post.
Have a nice day

I was right and wrong… it’s 3 chapters long, 2 chapters plus a finale (which is like half a chapter). Still way too short.
