[PC/360] The Orange Box
The Single Greatest Game Deal...Ever.

Ladies And Gentlemen, welcome to the greatest $50 you will ever be able to spend on video games. Why you ask? That $50 (or the standard 60 if you're an XBox'er) gets you:
- Half Life 2
- Half Life 2 Episodes 1 & 2
- Team Fortress 2 (Online)
and...
- Portal

And if that wasn't enough, Portal even contains a brand new song written by Jonathan Coulton!

Seriously, there is no reason for any gamer to not buy this game.

(Amazon)

It feels like a crime. Getting five awesome games for the price of one? I must be dreaming...but no. I think I'm gonna get this for the PC when I get some money.

I heard portal was way too short, but still worth playing. I've been looking forward to TF2 for awhile now. Just like the Guest up there, I need some moneys Sad

I too was waiting to get some more cash till I bought any more games.
But this deal was to good to pass up.
Got Halo 3 and Bioshock with Orange Box for free. Smile

I would pay 20-30 bucks for Portal by itself.

The base game is only a few hours, but there are a ton of challenges and bonus levels that increase the gametime by a fair amount.

I went to Target last night as it was the only place that was still open on a Sunday night, and it was my dinner break at work, and they were all sold out of the 360 version.

It does not help that you people will not SHUT UP about this set! Very Happy Evil or Very Mad

Hmm, while the Birthmas self-gift embargo has not been announced formally, I know it should have been. But I would like to play these things. Dilemma!

Poor Vortech, all addled by visions of cake, his only sustenance cans of beans, and the sweet, sweet memory of Weighted Companion Cube.

Oh, it's not that sweet. It has sharp corners and it cut my hand, and I'm all like. "WTF Up ComCube? Magic Voice said you won't stab me!" And then Cüby's all like "That's not stabbing, that's slashing, fool." And I'm like, "Well I think slashing was implied by the spirit of her stabbing statement." And the equiarea OED's all, "She said I wouldn't talk to you either! Sound's like your problem is with her." And while it's a good point, I was still bleeding and felt betrayed.

Thanks Vortech, That site is freakin' sweet! Is it strange I hear GLaDOS narrating as I read? Laughing I never thought about looking for a website. I picked up TOB just over a month ago, and the first thing I did was run through Portal.
Has anyone noticed all the fading letters in the application?
