Free is good. Wonder what info the leaderboards will have on them. Speed runs I guess?

Free on 360 too? I guess Microsoft has had to do a BP 'we're sorry' when it comes to pushing valve around on their console.

I was gonna say that paying for stuff that was included in the package in Portal 1(Challenge maps) ticked me off, but then I read the word "free."
Go Valve!
EDIT: Wonder if this means the stuff wasn't ready when they wanted to release the full game, so instead of delaying the game they said something like "Stuff it, make it free DLC instead." If that's the case, even better.

Valve hasn't ever charged for DLC beyond hats and other cosmetics. You should see the stuff they've updated into TF2. There's a full games worth of crap added in since vanilla and it's all been 100% free.

Actually no! M$ rules dictate that achievements can only be added with paid content for DLC (which is completely insane). So I think the 360 will miss out on further achievements....

Didn't Kinect Sports get Achievements added with FREE DLC recently? Not the Calorie challengers thing that was released last week (because that costs 320MSP), but something earlier in the year.

Back in the days when add-on to the game was just through normal game patching... glad to see there are still exist free updates since a lot of things has a price tag to it now-a-day.
