Valve's Orange Box For PS3 Delayed, Not Console Related

Eurogamer is reporting that the package of Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episodes One and Two, Portal, and Team Fortress 2 known as the Orange Box will have a delayed release on the PlayStation 3. The 360 and PC versions are still slated for retail release on October 9th, with the PS3 version coming two-to-three weeks later. But, Valve was quick to point out, it's not because of the console: "The reason for the PS3 build's late arrival, marketing director Doug Lombardi told Eurogamer, is simply that the EA UK team handling [the PS3 Orange Box's] development are on the other side of the ocean and are necessarily a bit behind the core Valve team's development. 'We weren't going to hold up PC and 360 for PS3,' Lombardi told us."

Well, at least they're honest this time.

They could have leaked their own code and claimed that large portions of it needed to be rewritten for security reasons again...

More importantly, Halflife 2 is *how* many years old now?

Why would I want to play it on ANY platform anymore than I want to play FEAR on the 360? These are games that are about three years old now.
