Just wondering if any of you bought Portal 2 on xbox instead of PS3 because of the sysetm crash.

How about does anyone know of anyone who was going to, or just got a ps3, but is not going to or is going to get something else instead because of the crash?

wow, thats so dumb. the only multiplayer is the co-op anyways plus psn is only gonna be down for few more days.

not to mention, you can play online on steam since you get a pc version free.

I didn't even consider buying Portal, I got Socom and I'll get MK eventually. I wouldn't let a 5 day period influence me because I just can't stand playing my 360 anymore which is weird because I must have spent 1000+ hours on it. I've just come to hate the interface, the controller and the graphics always seem less "shiny".

I'm not getting P2, but if I was, I wouldn't get it on Xbox just because PSN is unavailable for a while.

!!!! I forgot about that. So I can buy the ps3 version, get a free download of the pc game, and then have ghetto LAN parties, essentially? How good of a system do you need to run Portal 2, in a half-way decent manner? It's like split screen gaming, but not.

Laugh all you want, you're just jealous because I have the courage to stand up for the little guy.

For years now you cows have bullied us.

We've had it, you're gonna see a very different system wars this time next month.

Which of my honourable brethren will join my noble fight?.

Why would I? PSN will come back up eventualy, and untill then the lengthy single player has kept me busy. were I to have bought it for another platform, it would have been the PC version I can get when the network comes back online anyways

I find it kinda ironic that some people can't even play Portal 2 singleplayer due to the mandatory firmware update.

Picked up the PS3 version. I didn't see the point in picking up the 360 version considering PSN is only down for a few more days and I could play the PC version (that is included with the PS3 version) on my laptop

I heard you can only play one of them online at a time. Not sure if you can lan them without the internet.

Would have saved more money just buying it for PC unless you found it cheaper on PS3 or you play it. The way you worded that makes it seem like you're one of those people who just bought the PS3 version because you get two copies.

I don't know of anyone and I don't think many people did, I'm sure someone who was always going to get the PS3 version would still get that version since I'm sure they'd be able to survive without playing the game online for four days (especially since it has a great SP).

I'd picked it up for that reason and also the fact I only paid $35 bucks for the PS3 version.

I pre-ordered it on PS3 and picked it up on Tuesday because they give you the free game on Steam, and Steamworks integration on PS3. It's pretty dumb to let a week long outage prevent you from getting the better version of the game. While PSN was down, I just got all the SP trophies in Portal 2 and I (SHOCKER) played co-op with some real friends.

EDIT: Oh, and the PS3 version was also $35 at Best Buy when I pre-ordered.
