Orange Box In Stores Wednesday

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the crowbars-at-the-ready dept.

Ars Technica is reporting on an announcement from Valve: the Orange Box will be in stores on Wednesday. For those folks who purchased the pack through Steam, all five games will be 'unlocked' just after midnight that day. If you're like me and already owned HL2 and HL2:Episode One, the 'giveaway keys' should be available at that time as well. "In our last bit of Orange Box news, Valve has been running a television commercial for the Orange Box. It had to have been hard to make all those different games look like one cohesive package, but the company did a great job. The Orange Box can't come soon enough."

    Not really, I mean, it looks like they just put them in an orange box, and named it "the orange box".

    You have given us $70-$120 in the past. To show our appreciation: Here is a $5 discount on our already great one-and-a-half games for the price of three offer!

    Yeah but you had to walk to the store, and that means risking your LIFE to a TERRORIST.

    You could have DIED, man! DRM's quite preferable to that.
