Why not just get the PC version? After all, you have a PC.

A laptop, but I'd need to check whether its specs are actually capable of handling Portal. Somehow I doubt it.

Besides, I detest WASD movement controls. Using three fingers and four buttons to do the work of one analogue thumbstick, only to have them do a worse job... pain in the butt. And the wrist.

It takes a pretty beefy PC to run, so if you're not a PC enthusiast it might be more convenient just to get it on console.

Making the game look like nothing but a miserable pile of ~~secrets~~ dung normally makes it run smoothly on our low-end PC, but it didn't work out quite as well on our low-end laptop. I guess the console version is the way to go.

Yup, that's my plan - if I'm going to get the console anyway, I might as well get my preferred games on it. Rather than wasting extra cash on building a PC that's comparable in specs, but guaranteed to become redundant much faster...

You could try running a pirated version just to see if it works before buying it. I know a guy. :P

I could simply borrow it off my flatmate too

But first, I'll need to get my new hard drive. That's happening next week. The Orange Box needs at least 20 gigs, but that's the same size as the entirety of my current HDD...

If your laptop came standard with a 20 gig hard drive, chances of... pretty much anything made in the last five years running on it are kind of slim, I'm afraid. xD
