    EA is selling boxed physical copies of Portal 2, which all have Steam. If it were on Origin, it would say PC Download on the sale page. This is probably part of some agreement EA had with Valve from several years ago because it was EA who ported The Orange Box to the PS3.

    Must be an American thing because there isn't any Portal on the UK's Origin store.

    Showing $9.99 for me. It's probably just some publishing arrangement they have for physical discs.
