Left 4 Dead 2's Cold Stream DLC is finally out on PC today, with your copy auto-updating via Steam as soon as you open it. The campaign has been in beta for months, but is now finally available to the masses. The cost to you, keyboard and mouse lovers, is a mere $0. That's right - it's totally free for some more co-op zombie slaying.

The Xbox 360 is also slated to get the DLC, but sadly, it's been delayed. The official Left4Dead Twitter account tweeted out that they are "currently working with MS" on the issue, but when it is released it'll cost $7 or 560 .

Wow, it's rare to see PC getting earlier release dates than console. That's cool. It used to be standard for add-ons to be free on the PC but that's not really the case anymore. I haven't busted out L4D2 in quite some time, will have to remedy that.

the pc version is still free, its just the 360 version that will cost cause microsoft requires it.

This is Microsofts fault not Valve. I remember all the articles from Valve talking about how long the patch approval process is and how frustrated they were with L4D1 and 2 because they couldn't find things on time for their customers. That is why I love Steam, it allows almost immediate patching and now Valve is streamlining it even more so that they don't even have to go through Steam for approval.

That's a difference in quality control standards. I wouldn't hate on Microsoft because it takes them a long time to approve patches. They're setting a high standard so that the end user doesn't receive a bug riddled pile of muck. Valve isn't as strict which is why you see buggier PC games.
