    the m11x-r1 comes with Portal. When you create a steam account portal will automatically added to your account. For my first m11x I created an account and portal was added successfully. For my 2nd m11x w/o thinking I logged onto the account that I created for my first m11x and now it will not add to another account. Is there a way around this or did I just get screwed and lost a portal key? :(

    So you mean I have to create a new steam account for portal? I'd rather keep it with my other steam titles.

    no, it'll add to your current one, unless you already have it, then it wont apply, itll just appear as all ready installed.
