Europe can open the Orange Box in December
Are you European? Are you worried about not being able to get your hands on The Orange Box until 2008? If so, then fear not - VideoGamer.com have received word from Valve that the game will indeed be in stores in December. An exact date has yet to be given, but it will definitely be out this yearThere have been rumours and plenty of speculation that the bundle of five games (Half Life 2, Half Life 2: Episode One, Half Life 2: Episode 2, Team Fortress 2 and, most importantly, Portal) wouldn't be out in Europe-land until January at the earliest seeing as retailers have continued to push the date back for a number of months now. These fears can now, finally, be put to rest.

But according to the game's creator the PS3 is just a "waste of everybody's time". So you shouldn't waste everybody's time by playing this on your PS3 when there are other awesome FPS like COD4 and Resistance to play.

whats the orange box? a game? it dont look like a game. it dont sound like a game. this game (if thats what it is) looks like one that wont sell one bit and will suck. to me at least. my own little humble opinion...

Jay,
Umm, I think the point would be it SAYS in the article that we are all responding to what games are in the package , not to mention the picture of the Box Art also names several of the included games....

jay has been under a rock most of his life and came out to ask one question. a dumb one.
John @ Nov 15th 2007 8:46PM
I knew Half-Life 2 was coming to ps3 eventually (my time flies) but I didn't know the orange box, with all the other games, were coming for ps3. I'm a little worried, though if the first comment is right, and the developer is not supportive... this could be a bad port, the last thing we need, right now.
motorer @ Nov 15th 2007 8:49PM
Yeah, the last thing the PS3 needs is a bad port of one of the greatest FPS ever.
Frankenstein Black @ Nov 15th 2007 9:12PM
Exactly #1. Yea Gabe why are you here peddling your wears? The PS3 is just a "waste of every body's time" remember? So did you really work hard on this port? No? Didn't think so. Now go back to sleep you hefty, lazy, jerk-off, and stop trying to pawn off 3 year old repacks and lazy PC ports. You're a "waste of every body's time!" BOYCOTT THIS SHITE. Gabe thinks your PS3 is garbage, which means you were a fool to buy it. Oh, and one more thing "HEY KOOLAID, OH YEAAAAA!"
minimalniemand @ Nov 16th 2007 4:03AM
The port isnt done by valve but EA ... guess the madden-framerate-limiter-engine 2.0 is so hard to implement on PS3. Thats why this version comes later ...
jango fett @ Nov 16th 2007 10:41PM
Man, dude just asked one question and yall ask like he told you to go do your mothers or something... That just leaves a lot to be desired about the tipical demography of the people that these games reach out to. He asked and they answered. all of you fanboys just need to matured. No need to be like that.
