Steam lets you delete and redownload anything an unlimited number of times. Get some crap off your hard drive and make room. If your PC is capable of playing a game you should always 100% buy the PC version.

And to answer the question, afaik you can not, but the ability may be coded in there somewhere. If it happens look for PC server ops to have plugins to auto-boot console players....

I would say no chance in hell. Remember The Orange Box and how many times that got patches and/or additional content? I would say the console version of L4D has a snowflake's chance in hell of ever seeing all that extended support, so by extension I would imagine the console version will not play nice (or at all) with the PC version. Do what caff said or don't even bother getting it. :-\

I prefer console versions to most games except for ones like this.  This is definately a must buy for PC because of user content.

[HeK]

That and FPS's suck on consoles
Look at the ShawdowRun fiasco.

Side note, I just checked and my Steam folder occupies almost 1/2 of my HDD.

[zaneyard]

yeah, the only big reason that im not doing more pc gaming is that it tends to suffer in the performance department.
since i cannot afford to do a rebuild due to my car loan, i am gonna have to stick with the 360.
even with everything on low, tf2 and css like to lag a bit.
also, it really sucks having a 40 gig hard drive...

What socket does you mobo have?

Im sure you could find a socket 797 or the like on the cheap, also a 80g HDD on newegg is like $30 - 40 OEM. Given that you'd save $15 getting the steam version, that's half the price of a hard drive.

if you cant get it on PC, dont get it at all. save your money for later.

Plus then you'll have all sorts of extra space for anything else.
Hell, I have a box of 40gb IDE drives here, I'll ship you one for the cost of postage.

Halo fanboy comment

Ever play Halo on PC? It's horrible, and that's a direct port of the Xbox version. Why is it horrible? Because Halo was never a decent game in the first place. It's only fun on Xbox because everyone is handicapped. It's like being the best retard boxer in a ring of retards.

I'd pay to see it, and then promptly be condemned to hell. But man, what a show.
