This was quite a surprise.
It’s the future we all at some point imagined, where you buy a game in the store and are able to play it on all the platforms you have at no additional cost with cross platform communication.
Ok Ok, it not that great “yet” (sorry Xbox 360 owners).

Portal 2 (PS3) will ship with a steamplay license so that you can download the game on your Steam equipped PC. In addition to that, Portal 2 PC players will be able to communicate and play with the console players.
Also save files on PS3 will be stored on the Steam cloud service so that you never lose your saves if for some reason your PS3 gets toast.

GG Valve!
Here’s hoping more developers follow suit with this great initiative.

There’s been a rocky relationship with Valve and Sony since the release of PlayStation 3. Valve was early to complain that the PS3 was too hard to develop games for and continuously neglected the PS3 platform for their games, offering shuddy ports of games from The Orange Box.
Today at the Sony E3 Press Conference, Valve’s Gabe Newell announced that Portal 2 will be coming to PS3 and will be steamworks enabled offering features not available on other consoles.
Newell said the new features will make Portal 2 “the best version on any console.”
