So who's bought the HL2 Orange Box?

And what do you think of the amount of game you get for your Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£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.

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

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 Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£26-Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£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

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

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.

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

Tezcatlipoca · 10-10-2007, 21:54

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.

icestar2 · 10-10-2007, 22:11

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.

Tezcatlipoca · 10-10-2007, 22:20

PST = Pacific Standard Time.

It's 8 hours behind GMT.

icestar2 · 10-10-2007, 22:34

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.

Tezcatlipoca · 10-10-2007, 22:37

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.
