Wasn't Gabe Newell the same guy who once said out loud that the PlayStation 3 was a big loss of time for everyone? Anyway, to be perfectly honest I hadn't followed E3 much this year, I only saw the major headlines, but when I actually read about Portal 2's announcement about its release for the PS3 I actually thought that it was just one of the couple of news coming from Valve, and I was still waiting for their "surprise", because I sincerely never thought that that announcement in itself was the actual surprise, I was expecting much more... but I guess that it is a surprise in itself since of course no one would have thought that Valve would release anything on the PS3, let alone Portal 2.
I guess it's a good thing for the PS3 owners then, but I do not own a PS3, and even if I did I would still only buy the PC version of Portal 2, so that news, that "surprise" certainly does not concern me in the slightest. I guess we'll have to wait until E3 2011 for something significant, such as Episode Three, or Half-Life 3, or whatever they come up with next in the H-L saga.
