It's been mentioned several times, but nobody ever made a Steam thread so here it is.
Steam is "a digital distribution, digital rights management, multiplayer and communications platform developed by Valve Corporation. It is used to distribute games and related media online, from small independent developers to larger software houses. Steam also has community features, automated game updates, and in-game voice and chat functionality."
"As of 2010, there are over 1,100 games available through Steam.[3] In January 2010 Valve claimed that it had surpassed 25 million active user accounts.[4] Although Valve never releases sales figures, Steam is estimated to have a 70% share of the digital distribution market for video games.[5]"
"Many major publishers have catalogs on Steam, including Electronic Arts, Activision, 2K Games, Ubisoft, THQ, Sega, Codemasters, id Software, LucasArts, Capcom, Rockstar Games, Square Enix and Bethesda Softworks."

Portal 2As of this posting Portal 2 costs the following:
The cheapest way to get Portal 2 is via PC DVD for only $29.99, but the PS3 version comes with the Steam version so it is the better value (lol PSN being down). If anyone has a copy of the PS3 version to sell let me know.
I already gave away all my free copies of Steam games including Portal 1, but if anyone else has extras please post if you want to sell, trade, or simply gift them.
