Why is The Orange Box for PS3 so cheap?
Why is The Orange Box for PS3 so cheap?
$20!
WTF!
The Orange Box is 5 games, 5 fantastic games that all get ratings of 9/10 or better.
Sure Half life is a bit old but is it $20 old?!
The only reason I see ps3 make game cost less then 59.99 is because its old or it sucks, mosly because it sucks.
how is the orange box so cheap? $40 bucks for 5 pre 2007 games seems fine, bur $20 is way to cheap, $20 cant be right
how the hell is it so cheap, should I get it?
I have played half life 1 and 2, Gmod, also portal
Im not saying I want it for more, im asking how is 5 good games for such a low price, it can't be right?
I heard some rumor about it being buggy because EA made the PS# half life, is this true, is that why the price is low?

Because The Orange Box was release in 2007 for XBox & PS3, since then three years has passed retailers has drop the price, that is what retailers do they drop the price of some older games to make room for the newer games that gets the $60 price tag.. that is why all of the journalist such as IGN or game informer said it's a too hard to pass up,
The Xbox 360 version of The Orange Box is made by Valve', so it is consider better then the two. while the PS3 version was handle by EA, even though they did there best to make it a very good game, there still was small noticeable problems such as slow loading times. if you have a Xbox 360 then you won't notice the difference
Both versions of the Orange Box cost only $20.. that's why it's consider a steal understand? here is the price comparison, there is nothing wrong with the games, it's just retailers drop the price for no reason to sell more copies of the games,

Do you want the store to put the price higher? I hope not!
Anyway, I bought it for PC months ago for 29,99$, and it's now 19,99$ (for PC).
And of course you should get it! It's one of the best videogames I've played in my entire life. You don't need to have played HL1 before (the story just isn't the same). I've played all of the games in the orange box and they are amazing, especially Half-life 2 Episode Two and Portal.
I know it's cheap, but it's high quality games, it's nothing like Pac Man!

Half Life the first one is already over 10 years old. Half Life 2 is already 5 years old, which in video game years is dirt old.
It's definitely worth buying though, if for nothing else but for Portal which was a wonderful game.

The fact is that while all the games included are very good, they are just old. The half life series has been around a long time and even though its good on the consoles it was much better on the PC. They weren't moving as many units as they wanted and thus they reduced the price and that is just good news for you. So to answer your question, yes you should get in.
