I still have not read any solid confirmation yet if it is coming tomorrow (on Steam) - which is my platform of choice. I considered the PS3 version, with free Steam copy, but I knew realistically that I'd never play the PS3 version and just go straight to the Steam one as it feels more natural in experience. Curious to see the number of Xbox users.

But I am getting excited either way and Companion Cube & I are filled with glee - so here's a silly picture of us to express that... thought I'd spread the love a bit.

It's coming on Tuesday.  And PC all the way for me

PC all the way. I added it to my gamefly queue for 360 so I could get points...I might need help. Plus I want to see how different it will be with a controller.

It's already been proven false all over the Valve forums.  

I've been following the ARG for a while now and the evidence has been going in several different directions. It could be anything at this point but the early release is becoming more and more unlikely.

Probably just on Steam. 

PS3, mainly because I've been hanging onto a Best Buy gift card for awhile. Plus it'll give me more options to play co-op with the free PC copy.

@mubblegum: Glad to see your cube survived.

PS3 for me, since I get a $20 credit from Amazon and it's $54.99 I'm basically paying $34.99 for it.

I got every achievement in The Orange Box on 360, and the Aperture Science achievement was my most proud moment. Needless to say, I got very used to it on the 360 controller, so it'll be like comfort food going back to that I think.  Otherwise Id go PC, I think the WASD + mouse would be ideal.

I have a hunch nobody is going to go wrong with their platform choice, this game looks stellar.

PC will probably still be the best place to play it but it seems like no version will really be a slouch. If you're thinking of playing a lot of the Co-op it's probably best to get it on the system your friends are getting it on. 

Seems like Xbox is losing out. I'd almost feel sorry for it if it didn't have Halo and the like. Must admit, when I heard Portal 2 was coming out with the whole platform array I was quite impressed and it's quite exciting having Steam on the PS3 for the first time - interested to see what comes from this afterwards.

going to buy it now on steam in the off chance that it DOES get unlocked tomorow. its silly cheap on steam compared to what console versions cost in stores, at least here. i run bulletstorm with everything maxed, so i should be able to run portal 2 fine right?

no matter how good a computer i have, im always a pussy when it comes to pc games >_<

I keep forgetting about the co-op somehow, which is pretty stupid as it's looking amazing. Hope a lot of people are available for it and it doesn't just die out quickly.
Oh and thanks, I rescued it. But it turns out, the cake was a lie afterall =("

PS3 here too. I want to have it on Steam, but I want to play it on the big-screen too, and hoping for split-screen co-op as my friends are lame and don't have computers for games.

The ARG is a lie. As for what platform. Never not PC.

That's the other appeal of playing it on PS3, my 46" TV destroys my monitor. If I can get used to the control on a gamepad then that's probably going to be the system I'll play it on. "

Why not just hook your PC up to your TV?

PC all the way

I'll be getting it on PS3. Most of my friends have PS3's as it's a cheaper option to buying a gaming rig in most cases. I'm getting a gaming rig next week, so I'll be getting both with the special PS3 deal. It's not like I play games through once and I'm done with them.

There's also that, the logistics of it all would be quite weird, and I don't want to buy a wireless keyboard and mouse.  Also: laziness. "

Grabbing the 360 for achievements (That I care about) and friends for co-op. If not for the latter, I'd probably go PC and just try not to care about not getting points.

I think the PS3 version is the best overall value, especially if you want to play on the computer, but know you'll end up playing split-screen multiplayer every once in a while.

This is only like the sixth thread about Portal platform preferences.

But PS3. Best deal.

PS3. More possibility for Co-op. Plus my 65" TV and surround sound kind of leaves my PC in the dust. I would take a picture of my Companion Cube fuzzy dice and mousepad but I can't find my camera :/

pre-loading currently on steam.

also: anybody in need of of portal 1? got an extra copy.

Gettin the PS3 one here, just wanna see how the Steam functions work out. And can't go wrong for 2 for 1 :S.

" It's already been proven false all over the Valve forums.   "

PC, and I doubt it's actually coming out tomorrow--I've been hurt before.

PC. I mean...it's Valve. It's heresy not to get it on PC. Granted, Steam integration was pretty nifty for PS3, but then I'd just have two copies of a game and I'd only end up playing it on PC anyway.

Xbox for me but only cuz i don't have a PS3 and my PC wouldn't do it justice

my guess is half life 3 will finally be announced, not portal 2 released.

Anyway, PC, of course.

How would that relate to passing the final test though?

PC.

PS3. As it's really my only option but luckily, at least this time, it doesn't seem like the worst option.

360. I don't really have a computer capable of doing Portal 2 justice, as I primarily do my PC gaming (WoW and Sims Games, pretty much) on a Laptop. The bit that has me the most interested about Portal 2 though is the co-op, and I'll have more 360 friends to choose from/play with than I would on the PS3... so it's sort of the only choice I have if I want to get the most out of the game that I can.

Amazon's giving me $20 credit for pre-ordering the PS3 version, and I used my $20 credit from Killzone 3 toward the pre-order for this. So, I'm getting the PS3 plus the Steam version of the game for $35 AND $20 free credit for my next purchase.
