there is no way to play it until it's unlocked on steam. you can help release it early by playing games in the potato pack though. see which games still need players here - http://www.aperturescience.com/glados@home/

No way you can.

That is the whole idea of preloading. It saves you the trouble of downloading with everyone else once the game is released because the servers will defintely be jammed and slows your download.

And attempting to play before launch violates Steam TOS and perhaps even regarded as piracy/

It is IMPOSSIBLE to play it before release on steam.

 

Valve is very clever as they use their own encryption keys to proteect games before launch..

 

However, you can go to http://www.aperturescience.com/glados@home/ and try to unlock the game early.

There is no way to play Portal 2 earlier than other people, unless you are a reviewer and valve is specifically allowing you to play it a little ahead of other people.

Trying to be the next  Axel Gembe, are we? You can't play it before it's being released. I don't know what you were thinking when you asked this question. Either you have to be a game journalist or should be working in a gaming industry or a pirate.

You can't, the unlock codes do not drop until after release.
