Valve had an idea to release the game Portal on Xbox Live, but was turned down by Microsoft. Doug Lombardi explains why Portal wasn't able to be released on Xbox Live.
"We'd love to do that. Right now it's something we'd love to do. I'd love to sell Portal on Xbox live," said Doug Lombardi, marketing director at Valve. "[But] the platform holders aren't doing that right now. There's a size limit and all kinds of other things.

    If they release it on live or PSN I would buy it. I wish they did do that because no place near my house rents out the ps3 version of orange box.
