What people blaming Geohotz and the "hackers" seem to be missing...

I'm dumbfounded by Sony's ineptitude. I can't believe PSN has been down or near a week. What the hell kind of security do they have? I'm glad Portal 2 gives access to the PC and Mac versions of the game.

That only works if you had time to get on PSN and log into Steam to unlock the Mac/PC code.

Guess who has two thumbs and didn't get to do that before the outage?

THIS GUY!

You can't plug in the code directly through Steam?

I don't even remember since activating my Steam license was the second thing I did after popping the game disc into the PS3. I was flip flopping so often between Mac, PC and PS3 versions of Portal 2 that I couldn't remember which version I'd played to get to the current check point.

Basically, it goes like this:

Buy Portal for PS3, pop it into the machine. Log into Steam using your Steam account on the PS3. Play Portal.

At that point, you're allowed to install the game on Mac or PC because Steam has logged you as playing the PS3 version. Since PSN is down, I cannot log into Steam and start the process.
