I was always thinking whether or not I should buy the Orange box since it costs quite a bit, and to be honest, I don’t think I will dedicate myself too much time to gaming. 

Last time I checked on play.com or on Steam, the price was still 24/25 pounds, but this weekend the Orange Box is being sold on Steam for an additional special 66% off, that is, 9.99 US only.  So guess what, I finally bought the Orange Box, albeit a bit late since the package came out late 2007 or early 2008. 

Equivalent to the price of a cheap meal, I managed to get Half-Life 2 (which I have already got), HL2 Episode One, HL2 Episode Two, HL2 : Lost Coast, Portal, and Team Fortress 2.   So anyone who has a Steam account without HL2 could contact me if they wish to receive a free copy.

I will probably end up only playing Portal and Team Fortress 2 over the summer (if I have the time), and if I bother.  It is definitely well worth the bucks.
