Link your PSN account with Steam to unlock full PC version
PlayStation 3 owners are getting a lot of love from Valve thanks to some awesome features found in Portal 2. For starters, you can unlock the full PC (and Mac) version of Portal 2 if you link your PlayStation Network account with a Steam account.
As if that wasn't good enough already, Portal 2 supports cross-platform multiplayer with PC/Mac and PS3 players so you Steam users can play some co-op with your console buddies. Cross-platform chat is also available if you just want to catch up with friends.
Portal 2 PS3 also has cloud-based storage for saved games so you can continue from where you left off on any other PS3 console just by logging in with your PSN account. You can team up with friends once Portal 2 is released on April 20 (April 22 in Europe).

Well, this is a bit funny, the PS3 version > PC version by default since the PS3 version will unlock the PC version for you as well XD
Though I'm sure the PS3 version costs like $20 more >_> I bet if you waited a while and picked it up for like $30 used, it would be totally worth the money. Unless it comes with a code system where you need a unique code in order to link the game.
Yeah, that's probably it (because otherwise you could just rent the danged game and link it that way, getting the PC version for like $10).
The PS3 version has an MSRP of $60, just like the 360 game. That's $10 more than the PC version.
I'm loving this news, PS3 Mac PC online play all in one place will definitely be interesting. I'd hate to be anybody who is silly enough to get the 360 version
