Is it going to be available only through Steam?

It says "requires a steam account"

I would imagine so

Nice. I didn't actually think they'd release a demo, but good news for the fence-sitters to test what will probably become the game of the year to many publications.

15 minutes till release. Wonder how busy it will be for downloaders?

Isn't it just 700mb though? I DL'ed it last night, but didn't check the filesize of it. If it's close to 700mb, then you could probably overburn it slightly and get it to fit on a CD.
