Valve Giving PS3 Owners Two Copies of Portal 2 For the Price of One
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook

Wait, so people who get portal 2 for PS3 get it also for their PC?
that
is
FANTASTIC.
Even though i do not own a PS3, a friend of mine did, and he pre-ordered it for the PS3, and i was mad at him, for not buying it for the PC (i wanted to do the coop campaign with him).
Now i can stop raging at him.

I think it's nice that Valve is opening up to PS3 owners. I don't think it's a sign of the apocalypse, or of Valve's intention to shaft Xbox owners. I think they'd just like to expand their market base, and realise that they've left PS3 owners out in the cold a little, so they're making a gesture toward those gamers (who obviously, by the look of this thread alone, have strong feelings about being 'left out' by a studio) who might have held it against them up until now.
My assumption would be that once they feel they have pacified the PS3 crowd (i.e. by this deal), Valve will just release their games for every platform as evenly as they can, and things will return to the status quo. (Or, at least, people can go hound another studio about their 'unfair' PS3/Xbox exclusives).
You can't blame Valve for wanting a slice of the PS3 pie, it's just as strong a console as the 360.

No I get the positivity of the cross platform play, but why give PS3 owners an extra PC copy? It's by no means a bad move, I think it's quite cool, but I don't see the huge positivity of it.TooMiserableToLive said:
This is amazing! My computer is being dodgy so I was worried I wouldn't be able to play portal 2, so I was tempted to buy the PS3 version. Now I don't have to choose.
Good move for Valve too. PS3 owners will install Steam and maybe buy more games from it. Certainly can't hurt.

Huh...I was planning on buying the 360 version of Portal 2, simply because I never play the PS3 I own. (Not really mine; I think I've played one game on it.) But seeing this, I might get it for the PS3 just to have it free on Steam.
Then again...I could care less. The 360 is my home, and there I shall stay.

Well I guess thats one reason to get it for a console, but otherwise PC all the way. That is if you can run it. Would never get anything for console that I could get for PC.
you too huh? oh well, I like Portal but Im not sure on Portal 2ookie37 said:nothing has ever given me more viruses or lag then having a steam account. i would not wish that on anybodies PS3. On the flip side, i do want portals.... conundrums...
Damn, the Ps3 is getting it good lately, hasn't it? It gets a few Mass Effect 2 DLCs for free and now a whole extra copy of a game for free?
Jaysus, VALVe, I really don't know what to say.
If that's the case, and there are no other strings attached to this, I am totally getting this for Ps3 for the trophies and PC achievements I will get because of it.
Hey, it's a reason to get it, not the only reason.

this pleases me.
Now if only they could make every steam game operate onteh PS3, then I could play all the games that come out on steam that I'd like to, instead of being held back by my laptop's integrated card.

Fuck yeah! was going to get this just on steam but looks like i can get it for my ps3 and have steam version for free!
And that's why I said what I said. I want to play on the ps3, but I still want mods. This is the best of both.jebussaves88 said:
Besides, the ps3 probably has split screen support, which would be great.
Wow. I wasn't even going to buy it for the PS3. Now, however I will. I'll probably play the PC version more, but at least I have the option.
