Cool, I had most of them and didn't want to buy them again.

this was rumored during the TF2 Beta. Orange Box is still a bargain.

Its cheaper to buy the orange box, and you get 2 games to give/sell to some one.

Wow those prices seem steep.
I would think that Portal would of had been $10 and the others $20.

Agreed, especially when Amazon had the Orange Box for 29.99 a few weeks ago :rockout:

. No way I'd pay for these games individually, that be ridiculous.

Portal is a great game, but not worth $20. I really don't know why you wouldn't just buy the Orange Box. I already had HL2 and HL2 Episode 1, but thought spending $50 for Episode 2, TF2, and Portal was a great deal.
