The date has been announced, and we still miss the Black Box. Oh well, I guess that just means we'll have to play through Half Life 2 again, huh.

Valve announced the release date and the Orange Box will go on sale on October 9th of this year. It will come on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and the PC. It will contain Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One and Two, Team Fortress 2 and Portal. The prices will be $49.99 for the PC and $59.99 for the Xbox 360 and the PS3.
