While we knew Portal 2 on PS3 would feature some degree of Steamworks integration, the Sony and Valve partnership announced at E3 2010 extends far beyond what we initially expected.

Not only does Portal 2 boast cross-platform co-op play between PS3 and PC, those who purchase a copy of the PS3 version can unlock a Steam copy at no additional cost by linking their Steam and PSN accounts on both platforms.

You have to link your PSN and Steam accounts so I assume that entails activation on the PS3.
 
I'm so buying the ps3 version now, even if I don't end up playing it on ps3.

Ah..didn't see the part about linking your PS3 account with Steam. Most likely won't be able to gift then unless you feel like sharing your PSN info
 
This is awesome :D

They'll have issues anyway with pre-owned copies of Portal 2 on the PS3. :\

Used game stores might not accept it for trade in, we'll see I guess.
