Portal 2 on PS3 features cross-platform chat, multiplayer and a free Steam copy
Valve's announced that the PS3 version of Portal 2 will be quite chummy with its PC and Mac cousins come February 9, revealing full cross-platform compatibility: PS3 users can chat with Steam users, play multiplayer with them and even partake in cloud-based storage for their PS3 save files. The disparity between the PS3 and PC/Mac versions appears to be about non-existent now.
Additionally, those who pick up the PS3 game are ensured a free voucher for the Steam Play version of the game, should they link their PSN and Steam accounts. "We hope to expand upon the foundation being laid in Portal 2 with more Steam features and functionality in DLC and future content releases," said Valve's Gabe Newell.
Head past the break for the full press release.

PS3/PC/Mac cross-platform multiplayer, 'bout time. Also, does this mean PS3 might be a future Steam platform? That would be schweet.
