I've been wanting this for Xbox Live since forever and they need it more since it's harder to backup savegames. Would justify gold.

Like so many other times, Valve just makes sense.

It's pretty funny cause VALVe are mostly ex-Microsoft employees

Yeah They don't seem to be in this distinguished mentally-challenged business logic so many other companies (MS very much so) are in.

Perfect.

Wow EB sucks. Only 2 people got interested in this awesomeness.

Valve will first be rolling this feature out to existing games like the Half-Life franchise, TF2, Counter-Strike. Left4Dead will be the first new game to remotely save your progress.

Wow cool, now I can replay HL2 for the umpteenth time with this great feature

I already got excited it over my company Spam list!

How does Valve do all of this shit for free?

Sometimes doing stuff that makes sense = profit.

Great idea, not sure why other companies haven't attempted this... Would work great with Live, I'd love to be able to access my Lost Odyssey data on a friend's console without bringing over my HD or something.

This is why I give my PC gaming dollars to Valve - and gladly so. They deliver the goods, without you even knowing you wanted or needed them.

Kinda neat, but I'm not sure about the config file thing. If I log into Steam on my Macbook I want to play in 1280x800 and if I log in on my PC I'll want 1360x768

If the system is smart enough (and coming from these guys I expect it is) it will keep track of certain variables and change the settings depending on your system. Even now you can encounter not just resolution issues across machines, but performance issues as well (graphic detail, EAX, DX9 vs DX10 options).

Actually, scratch that: Given DX9 and DX10 differences, the system must take into account not only configuration but  also such instances of incompatibility.

It'll definitely be awesome being able to jump from one computer to the next and have a seamless gameplay session, regardless of where you are.
