Now only to wonder what games will be compatible.

This sounds pretty cool. I wonder if this will only be for future releases or if some existing games will be made compatible.

Finally, if you purchase the PS3 version, you will also be given an access code to play on your PC or Mac, as well.
That is really nice of them...

A company which controls exactly what customers can do with the consoles that the customer own paired with a platform which controls exactly how customers can play their own games? a Match made in heaven for these corporate bastards.

There are hundreds of rooms and thousands of people on BFBC2 via the PC so sounds like Bad Company 2 is a PS3 flop. I also know that XBox 360 has a boatload of rooms/people.

Hopefully this will mean we'll see some pc only games porting to PS3? CSS for instance? Hopefully we won't have to buy it again just to play it on the PS3 though.

Does this mean I can't play Portal 2 on my PS3 Unless I am connected to the Internet? Neither my Xbox 360 or my PS3 (or Wii) are connected to the Internet. If I am forced to use the Internet to Play Portal 2, that would suck.

I started with nothing, I still have little left.
