Anyone playing? We bought the orange box this week so we've been playing till Half Life: Episode 2 comes out! It's been great!!

If anyone wants to joins us, post back!!

I do want to play it, but my computer needs a serious upgrade, so I've decided to get the Orange Box on PS3 instead, which does indeed feature Team Fortress 2. However, it isn't released until November 16th, so I have a while to wait. Whether the PC servers and PS3 servers are linked is another matter, but I do hope so incase I ever would like to try and beat yours and Raek's butts

So, let's hope so!

I know! It's killing me inside really lol. But I still have Half Life 2 and Episode 1 to replay until that day arives just for a refresher, so I should be okay. Can't wait to see what happens though!

I'm assuming one can get Episode 2, TF2 and Portal separately w/o having to get the Orange Box package seeing as I already have HL 2, HL2: Ep 1. I know there is this "gift" idea that Valve is offering.....

Well, if you think how much the games will cost separately, they're giving away HL2 and Ep. 1.

Half Life 2 - $29.95

Half-Life 2: Episode One - $29.95

Half-Life 2: Episode Two - $29.95

Portal - $19.95

Team Fortress - - $29.95

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Individual price $129.75

Package price $49.95

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

pre-purchase discount - $5.00

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cost to you $44.95

You save $84.80!

I bought the Orange Box and I'm not even planning to install HL 2 and Episode 1. The rest is definitely worth it and If I wanted to buy all three separately, I would have to spend $79.85. So, I saved §39.9. Seems like a bargain to me.

Yes, that is quite the savings.... thanks BP.

Orange Box it is.....

Oh, and here is a HD Trailer of TF2!

Installing the Orange Box contents atm...

I'll give Ep 2 a whirl and perhaps try some TF2.......... gotta leave for work soon so... bummer!

Thanks for the price breakdown, BP. I was ready to ask if it's worth it, then I saw your post. Guess we'll buy the Orange Box since it's such a great savings! We already have Halflife 2 & Ep. 1, but the rest of the contents are well worth it, given the price difference. I'll let you know what we think! I may actually play through this one, instead of watching most of the time while my husband plays, lol.
