I should be getting my copy tomorrow or the day after.. can't wait.
So does the maxed out PC version look sufficiently better than the PS3 version that it's worth sacrificing my comfy couch?
Cause from the screens the PS3 version looks pretty damn good. The only thing I noticed was slightly more natural lighting on PC.. but it seems pretty subtle.

Not really. The primary difference is resolution and framerate. It looks virtually the same.teh_J0kerer said:I should be getting my copy tomorrow or the day after.. can't wait.

To me 720p + 30 fps is worlds of difference from 1080p + 16x MSAA + 60 fps. I don't know how people can brush that off.dark10x said:
Oh, it definitely makes a big difference, but it's like icing on the cake. As long as the image quality is still clean and the framerate stable, I can be happy. It's instability that drives me crazy.Stallion Free said:
When sitting further away from a TV resolution makes less of a difference as well.

I'm sure this has been answered already (probably several times) but didn't see it on the last page or so.
I double dipped and picked up the PS3 version and plan to link it to my Steam account obviously but a coworker just got his very first game console in the form of a PS3. He's expressed a lot of interest in Portal but I'm honestly not sure if the game is going to be too much for him, so I told him he could borrow my copy if he wanted and see if he likes it. But if I've linked it to my Steam account is there going to be a problem to prevent someone else playing it? How does that work?

No problem. I bought the game, and I tied it to my Steam account and redeemed my PC copy.
My roommate also plays it on his PSN account, and even tied it to his Steam account, and that works fine. The only difference is that he couldn't get the PC copy. We can even play cross platform with him on the PS3 and I on the PC.

I hope that turns out to be the case! He sounds a little intimidated just because of a lack of experience, but the learning curve in the game is so incredible that I'd like to think he'll be fine. I just don't want the price tag to potentially sour him on the game if it takes him a while to get into it.

Oh, awesome. Maybe if he's struggling at all we could play some co op and I could help him a little bit until he's thinking with portals.
Thanks for the quick responses, guys.
QUick question:
I want to create a Steam account for the first time. I can create one using my PSN account using the same PSN name, but with the prefix 'psn_' (appearing before my new Steam name.
But if I want to create a Steam account using a different name, can I still link it to PSN so I can play Portal 2 for free on PC? Or do I HAVE to create a Steam acount via PSN to get that promotional offer?

Yep. The first payment method you use is automatically added as the default, I believe.
It'll be that easy. I went out of town on monday, and noticed the new vegas dlc was on sale. Hopped on my account on my grandma's computer and it was a one click purchase. Had all of my info saved.(I probably should change that to my comp only). But yeah, Steam makes purchasing TOO easy.RiverBed said:Cool, cool.
