This was posted on the inter-tubes a few days ago. I first saw it on Kotaku but here's a post on GAF from someone to talked to Lombardi about it:

Anyone who has Portal for PC can play these levels right now for free. You don't need to wait for Still Alive.

You guys know the Portal Flash game? http://portal.wecreatestuff.com/

Those levels were later ported to Portal itself--taken into 3D via the Source engine. http://portalmaps.wecreatestuff.com/

The extra levels included in Still Alive are those levels.

I talked to Doug Lombardi yesterday, and he explained it to me.

I just got around to playing a few levels and it's pretty awesome. Even after playing the 2D flash version this map pack feels all new and quite challenging. It even uses Glad0s voice samples so it retains the feel of the original.

If this isn't the "Still Alive" map pack that MS is introducing for XBLA then I hope we have a way to try out the new levels without having to pay for the game again - right now it seems you only get Still Alive when you buy Portal.

I thought the news of that map pack was a bit old. I've played it and enjoyed it tremendously.

Any word of a 360 port?

Yeah RPS had a bit on this a couple of days ago pointing out that the map pack already exists on the PC for free.

Any word of a 360 port?

Valve announced a 360 XBLA port in E3 as a 360 exclusive, and PC gamers were freaking out about that until it was shown that the pack is already on the PC.

Does anyone have links to other good portal map packs? I know there's a lot of content out there, but finding the good ones is the issue.
