Portal 2: PC or PS3? How about both?

So a friend of mine linked me to this article: Portal 2 on the PS3 (gamingbolt). Or here (Arstechnica).
Portal 2 on PS3
First off, wow. Wasn’t really expecting this. I mean really? Valve porting to the PS3? Apparently I missed the announcement at E3 but I can’t help but remember a certain Valve saying several times that they didn’t want to develop for the PS3.
Not that I have anything against hypocrisy. Valve is allowed to change it’s mind.
But man, when it changes it’s mind, it does so with full force. If you purchase the PS3 version of Portal 2, you will also be able to play it on your PC and Mac “consoles” as well. That is to say you’ll be able to link your PS3 game to Steam, which will let you play it on your PC or Mac.
Which is utterly awesome because of the co-op mode. The aspect of the game that I am really looking forward to. So I can pick up the PS3 version, get my Steam version, and invite a friend to come play on my PS3 while I play on my PC, and we can run through co-op mode!
Maybe. Maybe they’ve foreseen this and the Portal 2 for the PS3 is account locked for online play. But even so, your PS3 copy should be good for single player.
If you haven’t taken a look at Portal 2 yet, there is ton of fun stuff out there to watch and read about. This will be an awesome game in March, I mean April. Here’s a trailer video:
