So who's bought the HL2 Orange Box?
 

And what do you think of the amount of game you get for your £29? I've paid my money and am just waiting for it to download now, I've loved every one of the Half Life adventures so far so Episode 2 was a must have.

Portal looks like great fun as does TF2 and Peggle Extreme is a laugh (and was the first to download giving me something to play while the rest downloads ;))

I think you are talking about the PC version but I will be getting it on the xbox 360. I did have Halflife 2 on PC but have just switched to an iMac so have to get it on the 360 now.

Re: So who's bought the HL2 Orange Box?
 

Did they release HL2 Episode 1 on the 360? Just one more reason to have a PC in the house :)

Re: So who's bought the HL2 Orange Box?
 

I dont think they did myself.. could be wrong thou. :confused:

Re: So who's bought the HL2 Orange Box?
 

Its in the Orange Box

Re: So who's bought the HL2 Orange Box?
 

ME :) Loved all the HL games and EP2 was also a must for me. Portal looks brilliant and TF2 is great if the beta is anything to go by. I beleive the orange box is unlocked 2nite at 12PST though so guess we have to wait till 2morrow.

Oh and I think the price was spot on TBH, I pre-ordered so got it for £26-£27 I cant remember fuly. Good idea to be able to give HL2 and EP1 free to sum1 if you already own both as I do.

I am pre-loaded and Ready to roll :)

Re: So who's bought the HL2 Orange Box?
 

I'll be investing in the PC version, can never really get to grips with FPS games on the 360.

Re: So who's bought the HL2 Orange Box?
 

Im downloading it just now (its going slow because all the Americans are awake :x) Thought it was released today, but I can wait til 8am :|

Re: So who's bought the HL2 Orange Box?
 

I've got Half-Life 2 & Episode 1 on PC.

So I was originally thinking of just getting Episode 2 off Steam.


Although I am now tempted to get the Orange Box for the 360.

Re: So who's bought the HL2 Orange Box?
 

Why oh why would you seriously consider buying a FPS on a console!? Oh dear!

Re: So who's bought the HL2 Orange Box?
 

Why not?

I don't mind using a controller rather than mouse & keyboard.


Plus my 360 is hooked up to my HDTV & my 5.1 system, whereas my PC has two crap speakers & a small TFT.

Re: So who's bought the HL2 Orange Box?
 

Just launched my steam to find the games are avalible ! ! ! I had no idea it said 12PST october the 10th but we either have gotten it early or they meant 12 lastnight. Decrypting files now :) :) Cant wait to check this out.

Re: So who's bought the HL2 Orange Box?
 

PST = Pacific Standard Time.

It's 8 hours behind GMT.

Re: So who's bought the HL2 Orange Box?
 

20mins to unlock lol.

I know PST is 8 hours behind thats why when it launches at 12PST it would be 8 AM here on GMT. Or am I getting something wrong here ? am sure 12PST midnight is 8AM GMT.

Re: So who's bought the HL2 Orange Box?
 

Well, if it means 12 midnight on the 10th October then that would be last night. Hence why it's out now, as it would've been this morning over here.


Midnight is the start to the day, not the end.
