My local Best Buy still had over 25 copies of the Orange Box this past week leftover from Christmas, and I've never seen that many copies of any one game box at that store ever. It doesn't surprise me though. There's simply not enough new content in the Orange Box to justify $50. Plus once you factor in the fact that it requires Steam and as such it's nothing but a subscription game in disguise where you pay upfront, it doesn't surprise me that Call of Duty 4 is the FPS game that is flying off the shelves instead. q[I wonder if gamers can thank EA’s low sales for this new opportunity?]q

If I didn't already own The Orange Box, I would have most definitely purchased Team Fortress 2. I wonder why they can't separate them for consoles. I'd purchase TF2 on one of my consoles as well. It's just that good. This is a great idea. If I didn’t already own The Orange Box, I would have most definitely purchased Team Fortress 2. I wonder why they can’t separate them for consoles.
