Ridiculous.

Holy moly. That is like the most insane deal ever.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Ridiculous.

for 10 bucks ? Holy shit....deal of the forever ?

 

[Peronthious]

I suppose, for the 5 people who don't have it.

 

[Stitch]

it's still cheaper on that polish site

edit: oh wait, it's not oO they increased the price.

 

[Thomper]

edit: oh wait,, it's not oO

Nope, cheaper on Steam.

Plus, that Polish G2Play site says it's now owned by a 'respected company from Singapore 7 Entertainment Pte. Ltd.'. I wonder if that means the CD-keys for all games will now also be of Singapore-versions. In that case, expect Valve to crack down on it soon. They can sell Polish versions to anyone in Europa as there's free trade within the EU, but selling a Singapore-version in Europe might pose problems.

I just bought it for my other account. Now I can play mad LAN games of TF2.

A lot of people don't have it. There are more Counterstrike people than Team Fortress 2 people.

 

[Ganhyun]

sweet i need to get this.

 

[careful]

If you already have parts of OB (like Portal or TF2), does it still download the whole thing or only the missing parts?

Buying the Orange Box => Adding the games in the package to your list. It's not just one big pack to download.

Only what you choose to download.

 

[Campster]

Was it this crazy cheap during the holiday sale?

 

[HamPster PamPster]

Whats the best 3rd person shooter?

I can't find a way to filter the games beyond "action"

 

[Zzoram]

Nope, I think it was $20 during Boxing Week.

Yeah, Steam needs a better way to filter by sub-genre.

Lost Planet (original, not Colonies Edition), GRAW, and Mass Effect are the only 3rd person perspective games on Steam that I can think of off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more, but those are probably the biggest names.

Don't forget Max Payne 1 and 2.

Buying Orange Box for $10 is stealing.

 

[Anony]

jesus chirst, and i thought tf2 for 10 bucks was a good deal...

 

[AgentOtaku]

I suppose, for the 5 people who don't have it.

:lol pretty much

Question from a friend:

He is getting a new desktop next week, but wants to buy the Orange box this weekend for the deal. If he does this on his laptop, he should be able to install steam, log in and DL the game on his new desktop next week right?

As long as you have your account info, you can get your Steam games on any computer (Just don't log in at two places at once )

Yes, he just has to download the Steam application on his new PC and login to his account. You can download your Steam games on as many PCs as you want.

 

[Slacker]

edit: beaten like the San Antonio Spurs last night

 

[The Elite]

Bought. I hated TF2 on 360 but I hear good things about playing it on PC. I might as well give it a shot. Doubt I'll even download the Half Life games.

 

[prodystopian]

That's what I thought. Thanks!

 

[The Elite]

WTF? Why did my TF2 download start at 42%?

 

[Costanza]

WTF? Why did my TF2 download start at 42%?

Cause you already had some Source Engine files on your PC.

 

[The Elite]

Gary's Mod and Counter Strike Source. Shit, that is awesome!!

 

[shrapnelmagnet]

Don't forget Max Payne 1 and 2.

Assassin's Creed as well.

 

[epmode]

Hay look, a controversial statement!

<INCENDIARY REPLY>

 

[The Elite]

<INCENDIARY REPLY>

Not that I don't like them. I've already played through them on 360 and I don't really have the urge to play through them again. Stop trying to create controversy!! :lol

 

[BobLoblaw]

I wasn't going to get the orange box collection until HL2: Episode 3 was released (I've avoided ep. 1 and 2 as a result), but there's no way in hell I'm passing this one up.

 

[epmode]

I CAN'T HELP IT. There's this creepy anti-Half-Life contingent on GAF and it concerns me!

I do prefer Halo 3.

*runs*

 

[DanDeschain]

Ughhh, why did I just pay 20 for TF2 the other day at Target?

 

[The Elite]

Ughhh, why did I just pay 20 for TF2 the other day at Target?

Because you are not psychic. Too bad.

 

[Volcynika]

If you ever buy a game available on Steam (outside of the really new ones) wait till Friday!

 

[Htown]

Holy shit.

 

[Red]

Whyyyyyyyyyyyy???

The deals are so good. Too much money spent on Steam.


I have to hold out. I have to.

It's $10. In 50 years, that $10 isn't going to make any difference in your life. SPEND!!! SPEND!!!

 

[Red]

But I've been spending like $10 on Steam every week for three months. I need to stop :lol

 

[Fireflu]

I hate to sound like the filthy cheapskate that I am but if anyone has a spare Episode 2 or Portal I would be most grateful, pretty please...

 

[Doytch]

Can't gift them. Only HL2/ep1.

 

[Diablohead]

I have TF2 already and own HL2 from launch, but for that price for portal and ep2 it can't be sneezed at.

Just need ep1 now...

*edit* ep1 is included, I never knew...holy balls!

 

[Fireflu]

Can't gift them. Only HL2/ep1.

awwwwwwwwww

 

[Diablohead]

Oh bollocks to you steam, I pay by paypal and steam says there was an error but i'm still billed for the orange box, looks like my first experience with support.

 

[zoku88]

But I've been speaning like $10 on Steam every week for three months. I need to stop :lol

Just tell yourself: "I can stop whenever I want."

No need to stop this week

 

[The Elite]

Would people say there is a major difference to L4D on PC vs. 360? I might be able to trade in the 360 version for $37.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

Holy shit great way to celebrate my new PC. I wasn't going to get Orange Box because I got it for the 360 but I cannot pass this up.
