One of the biggest gaming PC makers is giving its customers a free game with every new system purchased from the company. Dell's Alienware division and Valve announced today that from now on Alienware's Area-51 and Aurora desktop PCs and their M15x and M17x gaming laptops will have the full version of Valve's puzzle shooter Portal pre-loaded into their system.
The Portal freebie also comes with an install of Valve's Steam download client on Alienware's systems and is a not-at-all sneaky way for Valve's download service to be made available to all of Alienware's new customers. The PC maker will also have a dedicated page on the Steam web site with links to purchase new systems, peripherals and more.

Y'all just jealous that you didn't come pre-installed with Portal and Steam. I was manufactured in '83.Posted at 12:57AM on Nov 25th 2009 by Jose



Isn't there a decent chance anyone buying an Alienware is going to have Steam/Portal anyway?Posted at 8:17PM on Nov 24th 2009 by Slashee the Cow
