only just found out that the black box containing just
half-life 2 ep 2 fortress 2 and portal
has been cancelled by valve :mad:
meaning you have to but the orange box containing
hl2 hl2:ep 1 hl2:ep2 team fortress 2 and portal
even thought i already have episode 1 and half life 2 im well pissed about this :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

was really hoping to save some money here as i dont have much but now i have to buy the box for more money with 2 games i don't need :mad::(

rant over
 
There's a value pack seen that actually offers more including HL1, HL2 Blue Shift, Lost Coast HL2 DM, Counter Strike, HL1 Day of Defeat, EP1, Fortress 2, and of course HL2 EP2 for the higher price seen on that bundle. That would be the other box you are mentioning there.

Eventually EP2 will be a download as the second of the trilogy for those already running HL2. These are also available on individual disks when released. Where did you hear that the Orange box was being canceled? The Steam news on their site indicated 10/10/07 as the release date not the 10/9/07 that some originally thought. http://www.steampowered.com/v/index.php?area=news
 
There was a black box?! Eh, I ordered orange box and just sold the games I already had to some friends :D.
 
People confuse me.
I'm with Omega on this one. Each of those games alone could go for $30.00 easy. Yet people continue to grumble, even when these THREE games are bundled for less than $50.00.
BTW, this isn't directed towards your Angus, just people in general.

noit its just that when valve announced episode 2 they said there would be a black box
for people who already had hl2 and episode one so i thought i could save some money im not saying its not a bargain for what you get but what am i supposed to do with hl2 and episode one as i already own those games :(

it would just have been better for people like me who already have them not to have to pay for them again

give them to me?
 
I'm just curious if Valve would even lower the price on the Black Box. Frankly I don't see why they would. There would be three new games going for less than $50.00 to begin with. i find it hard to see that they would lower it, but who knows.

I have games to give away as well.

Wait you guys are really giving them away? Woo-hoo, put me in thar! I've beaten HL2, but don't own the game as i played it at a buddies. That was a couple years ago though :/ I haven't played episode one, though I hear it's standalone and doesn't require HL2 to play?

Good luck to everyone! Er, not to jinx myself. :D

the black box was supposed to come out at the same time as the orange box but at a lower price than the orange box because you were buy 3 games not 5
but they cancelled so now you have to buy all 5

i dont have it yet as i was to buy a physical disk set not the download from steam but when i do i will think of something to do with them :cool:
 
i also dont like Valve...their support is bad.

the people on the forums dont give you any help whatsoever:rolleyes:
