The PC version would be linked to your PSN account.. it is unclear yet how they will be distributing the PC version; however selling the DISC has no bearings on your PSN or Steam account, so you could sell the PS3 copy and retain your PC version no matter what they do.
It’ll probably come with a key that you plug in to your steam account meaning that when you sell your disc you’ll also be required to give them your key with the disc. Whoever buys your copy used will then submit a complaint with steam with a picture of the key and their receipt and your copy of portal 2 will be de-activated. Happens all the time with people stealing keys from games at walmart.
Steam/Valve are totally pro at this business stuff. You won’t be able to screw them. No matter how smart you are or think you are, they’re smarter. Every time <_>

It’s also a cross-platform cloud-based data storage game… Meaning PS3 players can play with PC & Mac players!! and I can play on my ps3 and then.. pick up where I left off on my laptop if I’m on vacation / away.
“PS3 users will also be able to save their games to a cloud-based storage system.”
This does not say PC users will be able to do the same. I highly doubt we will. Even so, unless they specifically say that savegame files will be inter-operable, and they haven’t, I wouldn’t leap to the conclusion that they are.
I still have doubts about them getting PS3 users to connect to the steam network rather than PSN. After all the legal crap Sony’s been doing lately to lock down the PS3, somehow I just can’t believe they’d be willing to let their players connect to a multiplayer network they have no control over.
