That's because Steam is damn near perfect.

Do you remember when people hated Steam?

My, how far we've come.

I remember, when i had my crazy 2.4 P4 cpu and 512MB of RAM, it killed you and I hated it. But now it is so good i hate to think how much money I've spent on it. Even EA has succumbed to it.

Just to let everyone know, Braid is 33% off on XBLM for Gold members right now.

I wonder if it will retain the achievements over Steam.

Yah, why hasn't this site mentioned the sale yet? I'm sure anyone with xbox live account has seen it, but still. I picked it up during this 33% off, and am I glad I did!

@tkAshur:

You mean like this:
http://xbox.joystiq.com/2009/02/22/discounted-braid-re-launches-xblms-deal-of-the-week-program/

Its because joystiq is anti 360!

I don't know why, since I already own this on my 360, but I want to buy it again!

I haven't seen any signs of this, but if there was a significant addition of content (more levels, more secrets, etc.), I would likely buy it again. Particularly if there was a Steam sale going on.

Unfortunately, I doubt there are extras, seems like Blow is satisfied with what he released.

Yeah, if you have a 360, I'd suggest just going for the XBLA version. It's 800 points this week, so it's cheaper. Plus, I really doubt platformers will benefit much from PC controls.

If you don't have a 360, then it makes sense to get the PC version. Or if you're one of those Steam zealots.

I personally still hate Steam, and prefer to just get an executable. Preferably direct from the developer. Since my PC is mostly used for indie titles, this is usually fairly possible.

Definate immediate purchase for me!. I've always wanted to play this game, i've heard nothing but good things, but i'm a huge Steam can and will only play it on that. Thanks Steam!

Man, something about trying to post comment from my 1st gen iPhone really just... well it only works around 50% of the time, from the main site or the i.blah.blah site.

Anyway, I'm a little bit more pumped that it's going to be on Steam, but I'm still holding out for the chance of a PSN port. The couch-and-controller effect seems like it would suit this game better than laptop-and-controller. Plus I would like to get eh trophies :)

I wonder what the £ price will be, now that Steam doesn't charge in dollars all over the world.

I'm going to pick this up on Steam when they make it 50% off 3 months down the line.

Ok, enough! This is a great game, and I highly recommend it. But it AMAZES me how much press this damn thing gets!

First it's overpriced, and then blow has an interview, then everyone hates him, then everyone loves him, then the reviews come and everyone is happy once again.

Now there's literally 10 press releases AGAIN about how this game is hitting PC, and it's priced at $20... oh wait, NO, now it's priced $15... hehe, just kidding. Oh and now there's another article about how it's hitting steam, and then another about how it's dropping price on XBLA for $10.

I swear, this game has gotten more press than Halo 1, 2, and 3 combined! Props to the Blow-man for executing some excellent marketing... but seriously, NO MORE press on this game, PLEASE!
