I am a huge Sony fan and I love my PS3, but GOSH...##$#^$% does it suck that I can't play THE ORANGE BOX right now.

All the Xbox 360 and PC users get to play it, but I can't. And even then, there's no guarantee that the game will run as well as the afforementioned versions.

I'm frustrated, but alas, I have hope. I've been catching up on the classics like Final Fantasy VII, lately. Also in the process of playing the original Half Life for the first time. Either way...I can't wait for Orange Box.

Who's with me?

My most anticipated game for the rest of the year, but I hope the framerate will be ok.

Second on my holiday list, three games in one?! sounds like a deal. However i am dissapointed about the delay, but it is what it is, and hopefully it'll be somewhat better than the other versions

I use a Mac, and not a PC, thus ending any hopes of gaming outside of consoles.

Bummer huh?

You better hope it is as good as the other versions before starting to talk better. With EA behind the helm of the PS3 version I would wait for reviews.

I pretty much lost interest the game, I probably wont even play it now. The same thing happend with Stranglehold it comes out next week, I used to be excited for it but now I couldn't care less for it. Delays kill my excitement level especially multiplatform games.

I am in the same exact boat as you man...

With Assassins Creed and Uncharted coming out weeks earlier than THE ORANGE BOX, I find it possible that I don't get a chance to touch it for some time...

I have a PS3 and Xbox 360 and I wouldn't dream of playing The Orange Box on a console.

If any game is ment to be experienced on PC it's Half-Life 2 The Orange Box.

I've only played Portal so far. I wanted to get The Orange Box for the PC but for some reason, they aren't selling copies here in Asia. So I decided to try Portal and it's amazing. And more than that, it's packed together with Half-Life, so it has to be awesome.

The Orange box is fun, but i've already beaten all the HL2 content, beaten portal twice, and played team fortress 2 enough to be kinda sick of it. It's a great package, but it's no holy grail of gaming for me. I much prefer a huge game i can really sink my teeth into, like a sandbox game or an RPG.

I want to get the Orange Box, but now am not so sure if I want it on PS3 or PC. Because I have a friend who might get it on PC! I would love to play against her like old times...

There's a very good chance I'll be picking it up when it's released. I'm finally getting DSL in the next couple of weeks so I'll be giving more FPS games a chance (also means I'll be dying a lot since I'm so new to them). I'll have Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty 4 to keep me busy until The Orange Box comes out so I can wait patiently.

??

Check out the metascore for each game seperately, I think the lowest one is Portal with 8.9. I can't imagine why you would wait for reviews of this...it's 5 games in one box for a cheap cost...unless of course your waiting for the PS3 specific reviews, I guess that would make sense, hopefully EAwhatever don't mess this up.

The only way I'd buy it is if Haze flops or get's delayed. Otherwise HL2 never really appealed to me. And yeah I know that's like gamer blasphemy.

Although it's a great deal, it's also a 3 year old game. I played Half-life years ago on the PC and I liked it. It's a classic but I don't see myself playing it on the PS3. I'd rather play new games that are made for the PS3 (Warhawk, Folklore). I'm saving my money for Assasin's creed.

rather EA than Valve, at least ea has some experience with the ps3. Valve has 0 experience, and i doubt valve even gives a rat as.s about the ps3 knowing gabe.

I'm not terribly excited about Half-Life 2/Episode 1/Episode 2.

Nope, never was interested in Half-Life, rather get Haze.

I know it's got a lot of content, but nothing I would play extensively.
