I'd like to know this as well..

is this as good as L4D 2?

Might get this to try it out. Wish it had third person view.

Youtube gameplay videos look nauseating. You cannot see anything around you. Almost all the gameplay videos they are killing a zombie then they get attacked and cannot see where it is coming from. And when the player is walking it looks like it is being fast forwarded.

It will show the player turn and it happens so fast like he is spinning.

I love zombies so I guess I can try it out for $12

It looks like there will be a GOTY version released late June 2012 for $30 (PC/PS3/Xbox 360). With that in mind plus my backlog, I'll probably pick this up at a later date. But for those you can't wait, it saves you $10.

This is what I've gathered. I decided to not get either DLC and just stick to the base game.

Bloodbath Arena: 4-room "Endless mode" map. Decent for co-op, but dull for single play. Offers some exclusive weapons, but nothing special. Was included with preorders, but never gained popularity.

Ryder White: 2.5 hour single player ONLY campaign. Completes the story, but feels like it should have been added to the base game. No side-quests or exploring. Mostly reused areas and textures. Only worth it for the serious Dead Island fan, imho, and they would have picked it up already.

It's alive at amazon!

Newegg had the retail copy for $10 shipped a couple months ago, but this is the cheapest I've seen it since. Plus you can play this almost right away instead of waiting for it to ship

Thank OP!

Great price for an excellent game! Have the urge to replay it again but no time...

have it on pc and 360, Fun but gets repetitive, with friends in co-op though it rocks.

Is anybody in a kind giving mood and would like to PM me a steam key? =D

This. Alone the game is so-so, but I've mostly been playing co-op, which makes it awesome. Convinced coworkers to buy the arena. I guess we'll be trying that out tomorrow or Friday.
