BD-R? BDMV? A mouse cursor on the letter "A" on the second title screen? That's Blu-ray and PC. They're playing with Xbox 360 controllers...

It's a Blu-Ray video of a Mac with Boot Camp running Windows playing Portal 2 with an Xbox 360 controller...!

Valve needs to stop pumping out so many of these videos and previews. I don't know how much more excitement my soul can take.

This is going to be awesome! I love the ping idea, because was thinking about how hard it may be to tell your partner where to shoot a portal. But the ping tool fixes that. Genius!

Always wonder why they use 360 controllers for every public demonstration

It's just easier to bring and set up Xbox 360s than PCs. For gameplay trailers and stuff, though, Valve records on PCs.
But if it's an Xbox 360 controller hooked up to a PC, that I don't know.

@wcarnation
1.Mouse and keyboard is usually too much space required
2.360 Consoles cheaper to buy in multiples (That run at a good enough "showing off" quality)
3.Possibility of an advertisement deal (this possibility is only for the conspiracy theorists)
Those are the reasons i could come up with :)

It's intelligent marketing. Any time you see an apple on TV, or at least most times, it's provided by Apple for this reason. IT's one of the oldest tricks in the book. Really not that crazy to suspect that's what's up here. MS has been going as far as they can marketing their game console, and the results speak for themselves, IMO.

This footage pairs nicely with some cake. But it's the hot robot-on-robot action that has me salivating.

@Conro101 She said something along the lines of: Please leave the theater now, as measuring the effects of asbestos lined promotional wear is not part of this test. Enjoy your free t-shirt.
