Didn't he say that the PS3 version will be connected to Steam? PS3-PC Steamplay anyone?
TF2 updates coming to PS3 Steam for Free? Vs PC gamers and Macs? Holy shit the Microsoft fanboys would be pissed about that.

Yet, it would be awesome. And it would be a step in the right direction to ending rivalry across consoles.

And definitely ending PC/console rivalry aswell.

So I'm assuming that there wont be a 360 version? Well that sucks. My PC is getting on in age and has trouble with anything made in the last year or so and I have no interesting in upgrading a functional machine just for gaming, and I have no interesting buying a PS3 when I have a 360 just for a few exclusives.

Please note I'm not a 360 fanboy, when I got it I simply choice based on games I wanted, and price (price difference at the time was over $250AU), so why should I be punished?

It will be interesting to see how Steam on the PS3 will work, but Portal 2 coming to the PS3 is just fantastic.

And one step further in Gabe Newell's plan to rule the World!

Get ready to hop on the, we pay for our maps that the PC gets for free, and then get none of the updates for our games, train PS3 owners.

thank god I own a decent PC... PC FTW!

Holy Crap, I just thought of something amazing that this could do!

Since PS3 slims are not backwards compatible with PS2 games anymore, Steam could rectify that by releasing PS2 games as downloads.

Holy shit.

I was going to make a joke, but I decided not to out of respect for the man. Besides, we were all thinking it.

I feel your pain my friend.

I wonder what happened to finally make Gabe change his mind? He seemed very against the PS3 even a few months ago, so what changed? I wonder if Valve just feels it's 360's turn to get burned since he threw in that comment about the PS3 being the better version.

where did gabe's standards go?

i can understand the xbox, because its basically a pc for people who cant afford gaming pcs, but the ps3? gabe bashed the ps3 several times.

furthermore, he likes the wii, so why no nintendo support now that you have gone multiplat?

If steam is going to be on ps3 do you think they will do what they did with macs and say if you own it for one you own it for the other? That would be awesome!

It's great to hear that the definitive Portal experience will be reaching a wider audience and that PS3 players will get to experience a solid, properly working dose of Gladdos and that Valve games, the pure awesomeness that they are, will finally be even more accessible but.........WHERE IN GOD NAMES IS EPISODE 3!!!!

Eh hum. Sorry about that, I know the secret surprise was not Half-life related but that just blurted out...... and I typed it.

Again, no grudges just a bit disappointed that the surprise announcement wasn't really all that awesome for me personally. It's great for PS3 players, but it means pretty much jack squat for Xbox or PC/Mac owners. If this is the surprise of course, you never know.

Also I'm sure Newell's comment about it being "the best on any console" was just pandering to the crowd, I'm sure both 360 and PS3 versions will be equally good.........they better be.

Wait, that's it? I'm disappointed, Valve... I was hoping for something aimed at your loyal PC gamers....
Ah well... Steam should be available to all gamers, so kudos Sony.

[small][sub]So, uh... Gabe.... where's the next installment of Half-Life? :D[/sub][/small]
