Valve, creators of gaming staples such as Half-Life, Counter-Strike and the Steam digital storefront, announced on Monday that the company is now accepting pre-orders for Portal 2 via brick-and-mortar retailers as well as through the Steam interface.
Special pre-order offers vary at participating outlets around the world and include a variety of dollars off and/or exclusive in-game content for those who reserve the game for purchase before it is released the week of April 18. These include $5 off the full price, exclusive in-game skins for the co-op bots (Atlas and P-body), and more.
The highly anticipated sequel to 2007's Game of the Year, Portal 2 is an adventure game in which you'll have to use a highly experimental portal device to face off against a lethally inventive, power-mad A.I. named GLaDOS. Unlike the prequel, you won't be alone and will work with an expanded cast of characters as you think your way through dangerous, never-before-seen areas of Aperture Laboratories.
Available for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, PC and Mac, Portal 2 is scheduled to ship worldwide the week of April 18, 2011. For more information, please visit www.thinkwithportals.com.
Portal 2 will require Mac OS X v10.6.6, a 2.0 GHz or faster Intel-baed processor, 2 GB of RAM, 7.6 GB hard disk space and a GeForce 8600M or ATI Radeon HD 2400 or higher graphics card to install and run.

It's been so long. But didn't Valve have an offer when they introduced the Mac store that if you paid for Portal 2 at the time you'd get Portal in the meantime?
(Hoping my memory is bad enough not to remember I already paid for it.) :)
