Steam on PS3?

[palto1826]

i heard a rumor that steam was coming to the PS3 and was wondering if anyone else has heard the same...i could do some research but then that would make everyone else useless to me

Rumor? I thought it was pretty damn clear when Valve said the PS3 version of Portal would have Steam, and that being exactly why PC and PS3 will be able to play with eachother.

i hope it is the case and people do that more like with bf3 so i dont have to buy a pc and ps3 version

Hell naw!

The reason PS3 and PC are going to play with eachother is because Steam should update both versions at the same time, thus making them 100% compatible. Just because it's a different platform doesn't mean it's impossible, just look at the Mac version of TF2, 100% compatible with PC.
Whereas without Steam, a patch must first go thru the Sony's QA for every region ( America/Europe/Asia ) before being released in each respective region, which is kind of a lenghty process.

Xbox gits no Steam 'cause Microsoft think they're too good to have Steam on their console. Steam is also why Gabe Newell went from saying that "The PS3 is a total disaster on so many levels" to "Steam [...] will make the PS3 version of Portal 2 the best version on any console."
