Steam on the PS3 with Portal 2

Like I said, insanely cool if it works

Plus somewhat embarrassing that this isn't happening on the 360 either.

Oh, one day I will buy a ps3. one day ....

Hopefully the prices of games on the ps3 will drop because of steam.

Same, probably when I'm graduated. Too much games I've been missing out on cos of my xbox

Pretty cool stuff, perhaps this cross-platform play thing can work out. (Or has it already o.O?) Hasn't this been tried with an FPSMMO kind of game, forgot its name though...

I recently traded in my xbox 360 for a ps3 and it looks to be one of the best deals ive done.

The games on the ps3 are so amazing (I might be spoiled because ive only played the god of war series, uncharted and assassins creed). Looking forward to portal 2 as well, but I think im gonna get that on the pc. I had a hard enough time on some of the puzzles using a mouse, so I can imagine using a controller will just make things worse

well it's not like 2011 is gonna be a year without games for the ps3, but this is welcome news. does this mean that my pc back catalogue is available on steam?

Pets my PS3.

I'm wondering this too.

I wouldn't even start hoping, it seems like a far fetched wish

So buy it on PS3 and you get the PC/Mac version for free?

Deal is: PC/Mac Version comes free if you buy PS3 Version. Not the other way around. Steam will be availble on the PS3 for Games that integrate it, in terms of > Friendslist, Communicator, Statistics, Cloud Savegames and Serverbrowser, it will not include > Store, all your other games that are not PS3 in the first place.

How would he know? he doesn't have one!

i don't think it was clear in teh first link, but even if you buy portal on pc, you can unlock it on the ps3 for free.

I don't think that's right. The PS3 version of Portal 2 comes on Blu-ray, not through PSN. Without a physical copy of the game you won't be playing it on your PS3, and that isn't included in the PC version. The Escapist article even says that PC and 360 owners get significantly less content than PS3 owners (ie: no second copy).

Considering the PC version is roughly the same full-retail price as the PS3 version (£40/$60), it would appear getting the PS3 copy is the no-brainer. An interesting step towards cross-platform games being purchased independently of platform.

My eyes might be broken, but I can't see where it says that you get it for free on the PS3 if you buy it on PC, only the other way around.

sorry yeah that's what i meant

If valve doesn't block usb keyboard/mouse access to the game then I'm siold. Otherwise I hate playing fps'es witha console controller.

Where did you hear that Portal 2 would be $60 instead of $50 on PC?

Also lol the concept that PC gamers would be upset by their copies of Portal 2 not coming with a free PC copy of Portal 2, unlike that fancy pants PS3 version.

Only one gun? Clearly a product of console gaming.

I can't say for sure about the US version, but UK sites seem to be listing it at £35-£40 atm which is about the launch price of many console games (although not always, sometimes it's £45).
