Steam’s Weekend Orange Box Deal Is Insane

5:00AM April 25, 2009 | Mike Fahey

Steam’s weekend deal should take care of any leftover PC gamers who’ve yet to experience the glory of The Orange Box, with the whole shebang available now for 66% off.

Unless you don’t have $US10 to spare, there is officially no reason why you shouldn’t at least own The Orange Box by the end of the weekend. $US9.99 gets you Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2 Episode 1, Half-Life 2 Episode 2, Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, Team Fortress 2, Portal, and some cake.

Okay, I lied about the cake.

    Ummm, possibly the massive download size…

    But I bought retail on release so It doesn’t matter to me.

    Obviously haven’t taken into account that internet over in America is far better than our own… ie both in terms of price and speed

    You need a decent ISP where Steam content isn’t metered

    Bought this….. but i nearly shat myself when i saw the download size T_T (For orange box and two of the mods on steam, total size == 36gb)

    does anyone know if the download size is less in total if you download say, e.g. HL2 for the source engine?

      @Mak0

      Why not download them one at a time as you play and complete them?
