I preordered the game weeks ago, downloaded all the content when it became available at over 500 kbs and got to play it as soon as it was officially released. Cry some more.

Rather than having everyone hit their servers on launch day it is spaced out a bit before hand. I know I pre-ordered it when the TF2 beta was announced and when EP2 and portal went live all I had to do was unlock them because I had already pre-loaded them. Though I'm not saying they shouldn't add some more bandwidth. I think this one reason why they do the “pre-load” thing.
