According to gaming website IGN, the Black Box Edition of Half-Life 2: Episode 2 has been canceled; believe it or not, this is good news – read what Doug Lombardi, Valve’s director of marketing has to say, and you’ll agree:
_“The Black Box has been canceled.
_
We’re going to have one package, The Orange Box, available on the PC (US$49.99) as well as the 360 and PS3 (US$ 59.99). In addition to the three new products – Portal, Team Fortress 2, and Half-Life: Episode Two – The Orange Box will also contain the full version of Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode One. Those who purchase the PC version of The Orange Box will get three separate Steam product codes: One for the three new games, one for HL2, and one for Episode One. This way a PC Orange Box owner can give away their Half-Life 2 or Episode One unused Steam product codes if they don’t need a copy of those games. We are excited to deliver the highest value of new gaming content ever offered in one box.”
5 awesome games for US$ 50-60 seems like an incredible deal to me; I’m surely gonna get a copy of the Orange Box as soon as it’s out!
