Well, they didn't squash my bug. Post patch, my Xbox still BSODs every time I go to Westcliff. Seriously Lionhead, this is a major bug that's affected a lot of people, it should be priority 1 to get fixed way above the furniture store being out of stock.
How much you wanna' bet that the DLC ends up being the "exclusive" dungeon and armor/weapons from the LE eliminating the last waning reason to pay extra for it.
Ok guys, I have to rant about the marketing of this game.
Now let me preface by saying, I'm a big Half-Life series fan. I've already purchased the orange box and I'm happy with my decision.
That being said, I get sort of aggravated with Valve continually saying this is "the best deal in gaming". It isn't five games valve. It's one really old bargain-bin game, along with 2 short expansion packs for it, packed in with another game that if on the shelf by itself probably wouldn't sell for full price (Portal), and a multiplayer game, but then again most FPS's nowadays come with a solid multiplayer component anyway, so this doesn't really count as an extra game.
Really, I think all this content adds up to roughly the value of one game, which is entirely appropriate for the price and just fine, but it is by no means "the best deal in gaming".
The other component to this is that 2 of the 5 "Games" in this package are already owned by most of the people purchasing the Orange Box, so in that respect, it's a terrible deal for those people.
I just hate it when marketing types make bull**** claims like this. Do they really think that we're not smart enough to figure out that they're really feeding us crap and calling it candy?
