Peter, it’s hard to say. Supposedly it was a few weeks behind the 360 and PC versions, but it seems to have gotten pushed back more than that. GameStop current has the release date at December 11.

lol, half wrong still.

I remember now, it was originally Vivendi Universal until Valve got into some legal dispute with them early after HL2’s launch. They ended up with EA after it was all said and done.

Mand has HL2 been out that long? It seems like it was yesterday.

… and I would be wrong. Looks like it was EA as well.

Also, don’t forget that Orange Box is coming to 360 and PS3 as well. The trailer doesn’t just represent the PC version alone. Someone has to press, manufacture, and distribute those pretty console packages.

That being said, Steam is still the cheapest way to get Orange Box. I hope Valve makes a killing with it.

Because EA is publishing the retail boxed dvd’s. EA has had the deal for quite some time now with Valve, they publish and ship Valve’s games to retail stores… but that’s all they do. They have NO say in what Valve does.

Because EA is the distributor of the hardcopies of Orange Box.
