Well, seems I was wrong - it is not happening.

No, this is not happening in the real world but we have made it work in
our office.

It's conceivable that for some future Valve game may support
cross-platform, but the Orange Box will not.

And one person's view of why ;)

One word: Gameplay.

console vs mouse/kb players == fish in a barrel. Valve would have a full scale
console-fanboy whine fest on their hands.

PS3 users could have the option to use a kb/mouse if the developer decided it should be so, where as on the 360 it just wouldn't be supported.

Console gamers will argue till they're blue in the face that they're just as good with a controller. But the ones with that belief are quite simply stupid. ;)
