Somebody at Electronic Arts enjoys watching PlayStation 3 owners squirm and post angry comments over the Internet. Currently, the publisher’s official Left 4 Dead 2 Web site has a listing for a PlayStation 3 version of Valve’s upcoming shooter. Better yet, the game is scheduled as a “Fall” release with the PC and Xbox 360 versions.
We’re guessing this is an accidental listing and have contacted some knowledgeable people about it. Valve Software isn’t in love with the PlayStation 3 hardware -- they’ve made it known on several occasions and probably aren’t gearing up for a full release on the platform. Still, there’s a possibility it could receive a port from another developer. The Orange Box collection did, at least.
So, put this in your back pocket. It’ll probably be disputed in the morning. It’s nice to dream though, isn’t it PS3 owners?

[UPDATE: The Web site is no longer listing Left 4 Dead 2 as a PlayStation 3 release. Bummer. Thanks everyone who pointed it out in the comments!]

Also, am I the only one who found the ps3 port of the orange box not that bad?
I'll take a piece of the Left4Dead2 Port Pie...
See this Valve? Other companies are willing to do your publishing for you. Apparently they don't have a problem programming for the PS3.
Hope it's true though.
I'm not into online gaming enough to want to pay for it, but a PS3 version will definitely be a worthy purchase for me. If I had the chance to play it, I would.

Where the hell did people get that idea from?
The dark side!
Considering the boycott had 0 mention of a PS3 L4D2 in their manifesto, that doesn't make much sense.
BRING ON THE XENOMORPHS!!!!!!!!!!
I guess starved dogs don't mind old bones.[/b]
Look what you did Brad, you fed the troll!
correction that's impossible because the president of valve seemingly hates the PS3 i seem to remember him saying as much anyway
wouldn't that make more sense if this were a port of left for Dead and not Left for Dead 2?
Also don't you xbox fanboys have anything new that whole no games thing doesn't hold much water anymore. Won't pick this up either way this whole zombie fetish gamers have going on lately bores me.
PS3 owners are not starved, trust me.
How can they afford food after paying so much for a console?
Ahahaha, yeah!
I was implying the upper offices might have a back up plan incase this boycott affects sales( I don't think it will but in this industry never say never) they usually have plan B's when money is on the line.
@hoborg
seriously thats old, if you gonna troll atleast get some current material.
It's cool that a great franchise makes it's way to another platform, but I don't see how this makes sense because Valve won't support for shit after release. After all, they did say that the TF2 stuff would come to 360, but not a word of it on PS3.
you know i have too finish infamous then ghostbuster then batman arkham asylum (batman and joker) then MAG then alpha protocol then there ratchet and clank, uncharted 2 maybe i'll get time too play god of war 3
i wish ps3 have more game but i just will have to do with that
On a side note, I was going to write a coment along the lines of "1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi ..." but before that I started counting in my head while I was clinking on the EA link. I'm now happy that my jaded response worked like a charm ;)
