My Brother picked up a copy of Portal 2 in GameStop Athlone today for €19.98. Down from €34.99.

Great value for a superb game!

I'd love to get it but I'm not sure if it will run on my computer! My specs are

Pentium D 3.00Ghz
1GB RAM
nVidia GeForce 6700XL (dxdiag says there's approx 376mb total memory??)
DirectX 11
Windows 7 Ultimate

These are the Steam system requirements as a guide:
OS: Windows 7 / Vista / XP
Processor: 3.0 GHz P4, Dual Core 2.0 (or higher) or AMD64X2 (or higher)
Memory: 1GB XP / 2GB Vista
Hard Disk Space: At least 7.6 GB of Space
Video: Video card must be 128 MB or more and should be a DirectX 9-compatible with support for Pixel Shader 2.0b (ATI Radeon X800 or higher / NVIDIA GeForce 7600 or higher / Intel HD Graphics 2000 or higher).
Audio: DirectX 9.0c compatible

Edit: I should say the original Orange Box runs perfectly even with the graphics turned up fairly high!

Try can you run it?
also ask in the portal thread in Games

i ran it on mine, bit stuttery at times, but i put that down to the integrated graphics card in my laptop

Thank you the link is much appreciated! CYRI says that I can't run it due to not having enough RAM, and that it suggests an upgrade to the graphics card - oh well, I'll probably buy it anyway, if I get a new computer I can look forward to Portal then :P

Sorry for derailing the thread.

should wait for the inevitable steam sale. it'll probably be cheaper :P

Never saw that 'Can You Run It?' software before.. downloaded!

Thanks whiteman19.

Can you run it is a great thing, been using it for quite a while, i thought everyone knew about it :P Occasionally it'll tell you that you can't run a game when you can, but it'll still run very poorly if you have for example too low a shader model but everything else is up to scratch.

Portal 2 is still 35 on the gamestop website Guess it's back to my original plan of getting it during the christmas sale when it's like 50 or 66% off. Damn good price for that game though, especially so soon after release.

While that's a great offer OP, just to let ye know if ye didn't: The PS3 version of Portal 2 comes with a downloadable version for the PC also. (You just need to enter the supplied code to Steam and download it.) Woohoo!!!

Sound. yeah I had read that somewere, it's a great deal. That usually retails for €50 and my brother said it was in gamestop for €35 if anyone is interested.

Thats a great deal for getting both formats though. I don't mind getting it for the PC only as it was cheaper and my poor ps3's Laser has been kaput for some time now...it's ok though because I have the Xbox 360S

Excellent, I'll pick this up tomorrow after work. Got Crysis 2 for 19.99 in GameStop Swords last week. Can't beat the value for PC games.

I would ignore the website in that case and check in store if you can at all.

True that great value to be had. I saw crysis 2 limited edition (PC) on sale in HMV a few days ago for 19.99 aswell.

Meant to through it up here but forgot

Nah won't be anywhere near a gamestop for 2 weeks or more, if the deal's still on then i'll get it, otherwise i'll just have to wait

Not much luck in KK. They have the case on display, same price but it says back in stock soon. I didn't bother to ask though. It must be the reason for the unavailability on the website too. How can you have something on sale if no stock??

Grabbed the last one in Stephen's Green, great bargain alert. Nice one OP!
