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."

    In fact, neither of us needed an internet connection and a subscription-based DRM system either.

    What, you don't welcome your new subscription-based DRM overlords?

    Forcing me to pay again for something that I have already paid for gets me PISSED.
    No one that I personally know is in need of the "extra" software. Seeing as all my geek friends already
    have the same set of games. It's still a rip off no matter how they try to candy coat it. All I really cared about
    was episode 2.
