Switching subjects completely from the potato stuff...
So, you purchase the PS3 version and get the Steam version, correct? I've been thinking about this more and more, and I wonder, how many people are going to buy the PS3 version purely for the Steam version?
Think about it. You buy the PS3 version at the same price as Steam users, or at a discount (if you can find it elsewhere, like the $35 deals). You then unlock the Steam version and sell the PS3 version second hand. It's a win/win for the customer. It's not like PS3 players are going to care about the Steam version, and thus they'll have a glut of used, but in mint condition second hand games. And the Steam user now has a copy of Portal 2 they've bought for what could be nearly half off or more (as even EB Games will give decent money for a second hand game less than a week old).
How did/does Valve stop this from happening?
