I was curious and wondered how many people want portal for the PC only...but thought heck ill get it for the ps3 so that really I own both version?

Does it work vice versa or only on the ps3 version?

I guess in reality the ps3 version is still a bit more expensive altogether.

Anyways, just thought this would be a nice discussion to see what people though.

Likely only people that have seen or heard of the game online otherwise its not being advertised much in the commercials or retail ad's in the newspapers so most people outside of the internet will have no idea aobut pc version free..etc

I'm having a hard time deciding. On one hand, it would be nice to be able to play it on my PS3 and then play it on my PC afterwards with the same save file, but on the other hand if I had it for the PC I couldn't see myself playing it very much on the PS3. I'll probably just get the PC version because I can get it cheaper.

I bought the PC version because it's $20 less. No point in buying the inferior console version that I wouldn't end up playing anyways.

It doesn't work vice versa. Buying portal 2 on PC doesn't automatically allow syncing, download and usage on the PS3. The steamworks on PS3 isn't mature enough for that and i don't think Sony would want them to do that in the first place.

I will get it for the PS3 so that I can play it on my PS3 now and eventually play it on my PC sometime in the distant future.

Don't get your hopes up, you can't play co-op since you dont have the ownership of two games. You only have only ownership of 1 game you can use on 2 platforms.

Spread the word I'd say. It would at least send out a strong message that we want Valve games on PS3. What has years of Valve games brought us on th 360? NOTHING...all due to the very very closed platform called XBL. Valve releases its first good attempt at a game on a PS3, and not buggy ports like the Orange Box was, and they give some neat extra's. I'd call that a win to celebrate and share with others.

One of the reasons Im getting it for the ps3 is of course that I own one...plus my Pc doesnt have the power to run portal 2...but If I get a better system in the future then I will be able to.

I'm getting the 2 for 1 deal, just because I wanted it, my ps3 is literally 2 feet from my computer but I'm going to be playing it all on my computer.... I do think it's nice that they give you the extra copy.

I would if it came with a hard copy of the PC version. That way i could keep the PC version and sell the PS3 for more money. Not sure if im gonna buy it anyway since i have tons of other games to buy.

Yes, I was going to get the PC version but decided to get the PS3 version and get both. Also, I was able to get the PS3 version cheaper, so it worked out better that way anyway.

Hmm? I bought it on Amazon for $35--technically $10 since I used a gift card.

I was going to, but there's no $20 off deal like there is with Amazon in the US. I'd probably never play the PS3 version (really, who wants to play Portal with a gamepad, let alone the Dual Shock 3) other than to check out the Steam integration, so I'd be paying $15-$20 more for a copy of the game I'd never use.

I think he might have a problem with linking if he doesn't own a PS3...but it is plain weird to buy for PC if you also have a PS3 at home...even if it's purely for the casing and booklet you won't get with digital download. :P

This will not work, just so you know. I had originally hoped so (for the same reason, co-op play in the same room from PS3 to PC) but you have to link the PS3 version to your Steam account in order to unlock the PC version. Play the PS3 version, and you're logged out of Steam on the PC.

What daddy panda means is that you could have gotten it for $35, a PS3 game that nets you a PC version that play just like you would bought it for PC. You can stash away the PS3 version onder your bedroom rug for all I care, you still get a PC version for 35$

I will because I like playing both systems and I figured if I purchase it on the PS3 I wouldn't have to purchase it twice.

I had to purchase Team Fortress 2 and Portal twice (Once on the 360 and once on Steam)

I own a ps3, but portal was born on the 360 (and pc). So it seems more fit to play it on the 360.

What you get free pc version with the ps3 version? Don't **** me. How could i have missed this i already bought it for pc.

Well this makes the ps3 version vastly superior in my eyes, to bad there has been no damn ads about it here :evil:

Alteast i can play it in 4 hours on my pc... But man ps3 comes with free pc/mac version, i'm making a note here: Huge Success.
