I own Half-Life 2 already for the PC, but what a value at $60. I'm buying it again just to play it on my 360 with all the expansions (which I haven't played yet).

#1, Gabe Newell (the founder of Valve) called the PS3 a "total disaster".

So I would suggest the 360 version :P

So when is this coming out? As the owner of a ultra portable laptop, I never got to experience the goodness that is Half Life 2. Basically, I am shitting my pants in anticipation.

@3

yeah, plus I already have plenty of friends on XBL to play with, and the 360 has a proven online network.

So wait, is there NOT going to be a 20 dollar JUST episode 2 like there was with Episode 1? That's really f'ed up if it's true. I REALLY don't want to re-re-buy HL2 and I don't care about TF junk. I just want the single player. And I don't want to pay more than 20 bucks. What a rip.

Well I'm definitely getting the PC Black version.

I'm debating getting the Orange version for the Xbox360.

Now the question is, will it be 1,000 points per game (which means 1,000 for HL2, 1,000 for HL2:Ep1, 1,000 for HL2:Ep2, etc for a grand total of 5,000 points) or will it be 1,000 for the entire box set?

If it's 5,000 points for that set, I would probably get it :)

Man, gamer score is addicting. I can't believe I'm basing decisions off of it.

Damn. I'd buy Black for my PC, but I don't want Episode 2. I'm sure it's awesome, but I don't want it collecting dust over here, as I've never played Episode One. I hope they sell Portals alone on Steam or something.

Well I want episode 2, TF2, and portal. I wonder how much the three will cost together on steam, and if they will be cheaper then retail?

The temptation to play them right away via steam is tough, but if there was something more to sets then just hard cd copies maybe I would buy them retail.

TF2 is worth $60 alone for me. I've played TFC online since it's release from Dialup and then progressed to cable. It's soooooo close,I want TF2!!!

I'm definately getting the orange set for PC. I never had a good enough computer for HL2, and it comes with HL2, Ep 1 and 2, Team Fortress 2 (one of my most favorite games ever), and Portals, which just looks awesome.

I've been looking forward to this one for a long, long time. My most anticipated title other than Halo 3.

I was under the impression that Portal and TF2 came free with HL2: Episode 2. If they end up charging $40 for those 3 I bet a lot of fans will be pissed. Not that it matters because they'll buy it anyway... Damn you Valve!

I'm fairly pumped about this orange set. Never owned a gaming-capable PC and have heard nothing but good things about the Half-Life Series. Portal and TF:2 look fun as well.

As for the person wondering which version to get because Sony claims the PS3 has more power...You are kidding, right? None of the multiplatform games to date have looked better on PS3 and one of the leaders of Valve called the PS3 a disaster. (Probably pissed at how much development effort it took relative to the 360)

Forty bucks?! So much for cheap and frequent episodic content. What a load.

So is Halflife 2: Deathmatch included or what? That's the only reason I would purchase this.

Really i dont think it matters which console you get it on PS3 or 360, since in terms of pretty much everything it'll be a wash.

As for myself, I'll probably get orange, but for which system i'm not fully decided on. Although if i DO end up getting that 8 series geforce card... I'll get black

I can't remember what I paid for Ep1 but yeah, I have to admit I was under the same impression. I guess when the Portal/TF2 buzz started kicking off, someone heard *ker-ching*

WOW! Thank you Valve! Its like they're just handing us their top games on a silver platter without the hole in your wallet. This will definitely get tons of people out there hooked on Half-Life 2!

Another game to add to the "Reasons to Buy a 360" list!
Yeah- along with:
1. Gears
2. Halo3
3. Lost Planet
4. Dead Rising

First GREAT game to come out for PS3 also.

"merit a $60 price tag" is right. This is great! I'm more than willing to play HL2 all over again (although with an exciting dread of Ravenholm).
Iced_Eagle: I know, I just want to make that gamer score higher and higher.
