Left 4 Dead originally only had a Versus mode, Valve's Chet Faliszek has told Major Nelson, with Co-op mode being added later.

Eagle eyed players of the Left 4 Dead demo have discovered some interesting information on the back of cereal boxes in the game. Seems the fake cereal is giving away free Team Fortress 2 action figures and urges people to collect all ten. However, there are only 9 classes in TF2. Could this be Valve's way of hinting at a new class for the game?
Valve Press Release
The Gathering is an annual event organised by the Xbox 360 community team. It gives the most dedicated Xbox 360 fansites from across Europe the chance to meet up, chat with developers and play some games that won't be out for ages yet.
When the Left 4 Dead demo went live for pre-order customers on Thursday, some very shrewd gamers figured out how to hack the PC version to allow split-screen co-op, play as the zombies, and use custom maps. Unfortunately, the fun's now over - Valve just closed the loopholes.
G4TV has just sent out a link to their newest special, a 15 minute direct-feed video of their time with the newest Left4Dead demo (coming out tomorrow on the Xbox 360).The video does a decent job at expressing some of the story itself, which has been missing in previous trailers. Of course, in classic horror movie style, the voice acting and story themselves leave something to be desired. On the other hand, zombie movies are rarely noted for their acting and voicework, and the action in Left4Dead vid looks pretty damn frantic and fun.
Quote from site:
GameXtract writes "Gamestop is known for always getting the goodies deal with almost every title they receive allowing those who pre-order to cash in on some extra action figures, booklets or even demos, and closed betas. Left 4 Dead is currently in a early access phase of its demo in which pre-orders get an extra five days to play the demo before its open to all. Currently only those that pre-order the game from Steam or Gamestop/Eb Games get the special promotion, but in case you haven't already noticed, Gamestop are quite the lazy bunch."
Console Monster writes: "The big releases are definitely coming and this is shown throughout today's Xbox Live Marketplace update.

There's also Left 4 Dead and Call of Duty: World at War trailers; Vigilante 8 Theme packs and Guitar Hero: World Tour songs. The 'Bond' single looks interesting.
