Sorry to disappoint...but custom maps are only available to play for those with Steam on a PC or Mac.

Some of my Portal 2 maps || Mini-Faith || Careful Cube || Vertical Reach ||

He's right.

There is a reason why PC gaming is alive and well, and it will never disappear.

Creation of custom contents from community like this cannot happen on consoles games.

There are shitty editors for console games, but nothing as power as Hammer can exist for the consoles.

Portal 2 maps in chronological order:
Vengeance
Olympic
[SP] Interception
Interception PeTI
Herman
Uprise
Unified

To my knowledge, there is no Hammer equivelant for the PS3.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but Portal 2 was created on a computer using hammer (wasn't it?), so there must be a way to transfer custom maps to the PS3.

No. Playstation network is exactly that, a (closed) network. You cannot install custom maps onto a PS3, you cannot distribute them, you wouldnt even be able to acces them ingame...

It would only be possible when both Valve AND Sony would allow/want this and facilitate it.

Only PS3 exclusive titles are "best" on the PS3.

Gotta love how every time somebody quotes Gabe on that, they conveniently omit the part where he says it will be "the best CONSOLE version." He's never once said it would be better than the PC version.

There is no "N" in "Turret."
