On October 19, Xbox 360 and PC users will obtain Valve Software’s latest creation, Orange Box.
However, gamers anticipating the release of the PlayStation 3 version are still very much dark as there still has not been an official word on its release date.
Currently the publisher, Electronic Arts, has no tentative release date for Orange Box on the PS3 as they are probably waiting for a green light from developer Valve Software. It is worth noting that many retailers are pointing at a November 16 or November 23 date but unfortunately, that may not be the case.
This may not come as a surprise to many who have been following the development of the game, as it was formerly revealed that the PS3 version would indeed come after the PC/Xbox 360 versions. However, with a solid date yet to be revealed, PS3 owners could possibly be forced to wait until early 2008 to get their hands on the compilation
The Orange box includes Half-Life 2, HL2: Episode One and Episode Two, Portal and Team Fortress 2.
Portal is an intriguing game where players take the role of scientist Gordon Freeman. The game is based in the world of Half-Life 2 where characters and objects feature a robust physics engine combined with impressive AI.
The console versions of the game will come equipped with the full length Half-Life 2 game as well as HL2: Episode One and Episode Two add-on levels and the Portal puzzle game and Team Fortress 2.

If I remember correctly, this was announced to be out this summer. Delay of 4 months was bad enough, but even a longer delay will be much worse, considering how old Half Life 2 is.

Eh I've lost all respect for VALVe after their products ruined my computer. Steam and all new games utilizing the HL2.exe and the Source Engine are nothing but buggy software. Their games are great but they don't do crap to fix any bugs. I've had so many problems with that company I play FarCry or other games more than counter-strike now.

After everything gabe newell spouted on about, I am not getting valve games for any console and since I don't own a PC anymore I think that pretty much means that I wont get any valve games period.

All this does is give more time for people to forget about this title and it won't equate to psoitive sales either with more and more heavy hitter coming down the pipe for the PS3. So in the end they shoot themselves in the foot and will pay dearly because of it.

Valve sprouted how this new Episodic content will bring games more often, and yet they continue taking years per episode. HL2 was nice, but never felt like playing it again. So I didn't get episode1 and won't get episode2.
Gabe even sprouted nonsense against the PS3. Being openly completely hostile against a console, and then porting for it... fu*k them. And damn them for ruining CSS with every new update. It's hardly the game I bought anymore. I bet their code-base is so messed-up that they just delete lines around, test and ship a version that doesn't look bugged in the first 5 minutes. Ah! That's it - they hate what they can't get: A console game must be almost flawless, to be shipped. Sony might have given them the finger, so they spouted nonsense against PS3 :).
True, TF can be interesting, and episode2 might, too ... but there are tons of better games now imho, in terms of replayability.

you do realize there are like 4 games in this one package. you guys are crazy if you think this isn't the best deal any console owner will have ever received. with 4 games in the box if one or two falls behind they all do. and we all know the ps3 is much harder to change code for than from pc to xbox. point is don't get too crazy about this. sure it ticks me off too but man this will be a steal when it finally comes out.
