good move by sony all i would like now is updated XMB and cross game chat then im sorted they will likely never come but yeah lol

[T-e-X]

XMB does not need an update, its a award winning OS thingy.. and cross game chat will be in Portal2 they say, chat as in you chatting with the PC users

Its not the Steam as you know it, its just features like game updates and cloud saves.

Quote from wikipeda:

Portal 2's PlayStation 3 release will include several Steamworks features, including cross-platform instant messaging, Steam Cloud for saved games, and the ability for PS3 owners to download Portal 2 from Steam (Windows or Mac) at no extra cost. Cross-platform play is also supported.[3] Valve said they "hope to expand upon this foundation with more Steam features and functionality in DLC and future content releases".

Its not so much steam as it is steamworks, which is the api that developers can use to implement within there games to allow such features as integrated game invites, cloud saves, cloud config
From what i believe there's no information as to what features will be present

[Danieljay1]
