The Orange Box - HL 2 Mod, what do you think?

The Orange Box is a video game compilation created by Valve, which contains Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Portal, and Team Fortress 2. The Windows version is due for release on October 10, 2007 and will be distributed as both retail boxed copy, and as a download available through Valve's Steam service. The package will retail for $49.95, with a $5 discount to those who pre-order it through Steam. If purchased individually through Steam, the games cost $129.75 ($29.95 for Half-Life 2, $19.95 for Half-Life 2: Episode One, $29.95 for Half-Life 2: Episode Two, $19.95 for Portal, and $29.95 for Team Fortress 2). The compilation will also be released on the Xbox 360 on October 10, 2007. A PlayStation 3 version will be released in November 2007.[2]

Another compilation, The Black Box, was also planned. This would have contained only the new material (HL2: Episode Two, Portal, TF2) but was later canceled for retail, and will only be available through Steam to owners of the ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT graphics card. These owners receive a voucher for a free copy of The Black Box through Steam which can only be transferred along with the graphics card.[5]

Although The Black Box has been canceled (ATI vouchers are still valid however), people who buy The Orange Box will be able to transfer their duplicate games to a friend. The retail box will contain three different product keys, one for the three new games, one for Half-Life 2, and one for Half-Life 2: Episode One.[6]
