I've tried for so long on SteamGifts but have never won Portal 1, and now that there's another Portal sale, I kinda just wanna buy it instead. But here's the thing, I already own Portal 2, so the cheapest way to get Portal 1 is by buying the Portal bundle. But that's only if an extra copy of Portal 2 is gifted to me. I've checked the Steam Support page regarding Extra Copies, and it states I'll get extra copies for L4D1, HL2, HL2:E1, DoW2, 4 packs and any limited promotions.

But then further down the page, it says that the Portal bundle will grant an extra Portal 1. So I really don't know what to believe when the page said These promotion do not apply to any games other than those specifically listed.

Has anyone actually been in this situation and redeemed a Portal bundle when they only owned Portal 2 prior?

Portal Bundle - Portal 2 General Discussion

At the bottom, someone states that they were given an extra copy of Portal 2 upon purchasing the Portal Bundle.

You could try it yourself. Add the bundle to your cart and proceed to checkout. DON'T finalize the payment at see if you get the same warning screen as stated in the picture in your own post.

Yes, you will receive the extra Portal game. I already had Portal 2 when I bought the Portal Bundle to get the first game for me, and gift the second to a friend, and it worked just fine. Once it is activated, the extra copy will appear in your Inventory.

Incidentally, you're actually the person who confirms that at the bottom in my link. xD

Hello then! ^_^

Yeah, now I remember that... it was long ago, but the important thing is you indeed get the extra copy of Portal or Portal 2 to give later ;)

SteamDB has much more complete information than that extra copy page. It's a great resource if you know how to use it :)

Would you mind telling me how to use it to determine whether extra copies are given?

Portal + Portal 2 Bundle - Steamdb

Not sure, but I believe it has something to do with the this statement under "Additional Information":

"OnPurchaseGrantGuestPassPackage : Portal (7355)

OnPurchaseGrantGuestPassPackage1: Portal 2 (7910)"

Did you buy it for yourself and have any Portal or Portal 2 before the purchase? If yes, you should have saw a notification that the extra game was going to your Inventory because you already had any of those.
