'''Portal is Free''' is a video which was released by [[Valve]] on May 13, 2010 in order to promote ''[[Portal 2]]''. The video takes the form of an [[Aperture Science|Aperture Laboratories]] information video, which advertises the existence of a "free Portal kit" (the original ''[[Portal]]''). The purpose of the video was to bring attention to the fact that ''Portal'' was made available for free on Steam for a brief period, in order to promote the future release of ''Portal 2''.

[''Aperture Science theme plays as the Aperture logo appears.'']
 
[''An animated building layout is shown, filled with various stick figures similar to those in the ''Portal'' teaser. Zoom in to a meeting room, where a projector screen is rolled down, and "''Portal'': Huge success" is shown.'']
 
'''GLaDOS''': For over three years, the Aperture Science Portal Project has been the cornerstone of our aggressive recruitment program.
 
[''Stick figures on a conveyor belt from an Aperture shipment truck are handed retail box copies of ''Portal''.'']
 
'''GLaDOS''': Thanks to Portal, we can weed out test subjects, who, when confronted with science, may exhibit any or all of the following personality flaws:
 
'''GLaDOS''': Cowardice,
 
[''The test subject in front drops their copy of ''Portal'' and runs away'']
 
'''GLaDOS''': Impaired motor skills,
 
[''An orange portal appears in front of a subject, who steps through and falls off'']
 
'''GLaDOS''': Poor judgment,
 
[''A subject turns around and shows a Black Mesa tattoo'']
 
'''GLaDOS''': Fear of heights,
 
[''The conveyor belt lowers, and the subject falls with a Wilhelm scream.'']
 
'''GLaDOS''': Weights,
 
[''A [[Weighted Companion Cube]] from ''Portal'' falls on a subject'']
 
'''GLaDOS''': Depths,
 
[''A subject sinks into a tub of [[goo]]'']
 
'''GLaDOS''': Bullets,
 
[''A subject is shot by two [[turrets]]'']
 
'''GLaDOS''': And fire.
 
[''A subject ignites'']
 
[''An office desk with a chair and a computer assembles, and a stick-figure appears and sits on the chair.'']
 
'''GLaDOS''': Now, our marketing engineers have discovered a way to offer consumers a home version of the Portal Project...for free!
 
[''The stick figure loads the program on the computer, which shows a clip from the ''Portal'' teaser. The stick-figure cheerfully puts its arms up while a speech bubble appears with a green $ dollar symbol overlaid with a red "no" symbol.'']
 
[''The stick figure is moved up in a vertical bar graph while spinning on the chair. Zoom out to show the entire graph. The stick-figure falls off the bar along with the chair as the view zooms back out to the meeting room.'']
 
'''GLaDOS''': Use your free Portal kit to measure the value of those around you, and find a companion for the upcoming Cooperative Portal Testing Initiative.
 
[''The projector screen shows "''Portal 2'': coming soon" and the stick figures in the room cheerfully put their arms up.'']
 
'''GLaDOS''': Good luck.
 
[''The Steam and ''Portal'' logos fade in.'']
