Does this Mean PS3 orange box will be updated?
I really hope that this shows MS that Steam+Consoles=MONEH.

of course valve would do something awesome like this
thankfully cheating/hacking in this game isnt really a problem

Screw all these lame steam features. All I'm interested is free updates/dlc. If microsoft forces valve to pay 7.50 for a couple of extra levels, then I hope the 360 version absolutely BOMBS so Microsoft will pull their head out of their ass
This is promising.
I wish this had started w/ EPIC's Unreal Tournament 3.
This is some really sick news!

I find it odd that there's cross platform matchmaking but no cross platform saving... what's the deal with that?
Since Valve had nothing to do with the PS3 Orange Box port, I don't think so. It's funny that Valve is putting a system so vastly superior to PSN on the system like that though. I wonder if that means other developers can use Steamworks for their PC and PS3 versions, instead of the usual hack jobs (Gamespy, or worse) they do with anything that isn't XBL/GFWL on their games.
yay!
"Valve mentioned its hope that future titles will offer similar Steam compatibility."
Awesome.

I think he was referring to L4D... idk why you'd want dlc for that game though, seeing as how it blows.

They were sick enough to charge this for user made content. They had a pack of the most popular custom maps.

They need to work on PS3 compatablity in general, just not games. I would love for steam friends/features to be integrated with PSN in general. It would be a huge step for the community, and maybe we'd start seeing "steam" released games through PSN.

Lol at the "lame steam features" remark. I'm not sure if he actually has a solid opinion on anything, or just spews out unintelligent dribble to make himself feel like he's an accomplished troll.

This sounds amazing. So many people have been asking for cross-platform matchmaking for years that I thought it would never happen.
Mos def buying this on PS3

Portal: Still Alive is like Super Portal:....it comes with the vanilla game, but with more content for 15 bucks.

They were not, they were from the PC-Flashpack that came out earlier and for free.

Additionally the other free DLC Portal recieved on PC was the Radio challenge and altering the ending... twice.

Wait so we can't switch between PS3 and PC to play the same single player game but we can play on another PS3?
Holy shit! Had no clue playstation 3 version came with steam code. Definitely getting that, but will likely play it on pc any way. Gotta love options, though!
This is amazing, being a big user of my ps3 and pc(steam) this is a match made in heaven. I'm really excited for the future of ps3 and steam, it would be a big improvement over psn(which is already ok)
Sad that I can't play on PC and PS3 with the same save, but whatever. This is too good to complain about. Make all Valve releases this way!
Not surprised that the PC and PS3 will not use the same saves, as they are likely in dissimilar formats, and it would require a decoding/encoding process. That would be an increased chance of save data getting corrupted, so no thanks. Then there is the potential for modding the PC version, which would mess the save data up when loaded on a PS3 ... no, I think it's best to keep the two versions separate. Lots of chances for problems otherwise.
The rest is pretty awesome, though.

Not gonna pretend like I'm not a little butthurt and a lot jealous that this is happening on PS3 and not the 360. Booo!
I'm interested to see where the cross platform thing goes. It'd be cool if it eventually extends to games that aren't made by Valve but are still on Steam and PS3.
rogue its cos everything costs money on xblargh and microsoft wants more monies.
also this is the pefect way to assimilate people from consoles to pcs where gaming should be

long story short, valve and ms kinda butted heads over policies. Valve said they would do it for ms if they would loosen up so this ones on ms.

Microsoft wants to maintain total control over the resources that use their network. This is good in some way, bad in others. Some of their policies are very restrictive and publishers/developers HATE that they aren't allowed to be unique and creative with content and network play. Btw, isn't this why Team Meat said they'd no longer work with Microsoft?
Valve was so vocal about this that I think they're trying to pressure Microsoft to reevaluate their policies. Would not surprise me to see Steamworks on Xbox one day.

While I'm a tad sad that there's no using a PS3 copy and PC/Mac copy on the same account (though it makes sense to be this way), there IS split-screen on PS3. This'll be funfunfun...'til her daddy take the T-bird awa-ay.
"buying the game for PS3 automatically gets you the PC and Mac versions at no extra cost to you"
Except the PS3 version is $10 more than the PC/Mac versions.

But will we be able to play both versions at the same time with that one purchase? That's my main concern, if my friend and I can play the co-op campaign in the same room, me on the PS3 and him on the PC. I'm surprised more people aren't asking this.
