Valve is offering The Orange Box at 66 percent off this weekend only.

Times like these call for deals and big savings. This weekend, Valve is giving you the chance to purchase The Orange Box (usually $50*) for just ten bucks. As a refresher, that’s Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2 Episode 1, Half-Life 2 Episode 2, Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, Team Fortress 2 and Portal.
If you don’t have a tenner to spare, we’ll spot you the money. Okay, so that’s a blatant fabrication on my part but seriously, do not miss out on this deal. The Orange Box is a pretty sweet purchase at $50, so bagging it for $10 is an insanely good deal.
Click here to buy.
*Edit: Just to clarify, that's $50 at retail. The Orange Box is usually $29.99 on Steam (thanks, misnand).

Multimedia In A Box: Gigabyte GO-M1600A
Gigabyte Claims its GO-M1600A serves as an all-in-one MP3, FM radio and DVD player in a single box. While it fits in the 5.25" PC slot inside the case, the device can surprisingly still operate independently without having to turn on the PC. We tested the device to see how well it performed and measured the speed of its operations. keywords

How graphics card makers help game developers and publishers take a game from concept to code to your computer.







Maybe it’s just my gender talking, but I’m tempted to buy this despite not needing most of the games. Time to have my boyfriend hide my credit card! Sniff.
BARGAINS, JANE, BARGAINS! Seriously, you need to get this. And get me one too. Even though I already have it.
Everyone needs to buy this. Portal alone is worth the $10 easily, as is TF2.
Jane, You don't have Orange box yet?!!!!!! WHAT!!!
Get it, now, do it. Portal is a must for all steam accounts to have.
This is the first useful piece of text that I've read from you ever. Good job.
I'm so glad this made it onto this page, I might not have seen it, otherwise.
Everyone must buy the Orange Box. NOW!!!
Now that is a great deal! Its a shame I can't take advantage of it as I own it and all my friends that play PC games do too.
I must admit, i already own the orange box, and yet my first thought when i saw this is "I must buy this!"

I'm such a valve fanboy!

haha same thought ran through my mind. I'm not particularly a fan boy, but the orange box is awesome!
This is the BEST GAME EVER!! I built a high end rig with CoD: WaW but I hardly ever play CoD...Most of my time is spent playing Team Fortress 2! Nevermind the fact that it has the best (albeit short) puzzle game ever, Portal.
This deal ROCKS! I jumped on it IMMEDIATELY yesterday. TF2 is so cool. I didn't even install any other game this package came with because all I bought it for is TF2 LMAO! I win.
lol yea i have over 200 hours invested in TF2 atm
Its a great game
Best game ever.
wow im kinda surprised this made it as news... lol
WAIT! how come you never spazzed when there was a left 4 dead for $25????
that was an epic deal, more than this... l4d retail is going for about $30 bucks now, i
...my boyfriend...
Lose the zero and get with the hero.
Thanks, I would've completly missed this deal if not for you putting it up.
TF2 rox.
I bought the Orange Box about a month ago. Wish I had waited just a little longer...
That's actually really depressing. Here I was getting all excited about the deal and I didn't even think of the people who bought it really, really recently. Sadface. Tough break, man.
Thanks, I would've completly missed this deal if not for you putting it up.

No problem!
This is the first useful piece of text that I've read from you ever. Good job.
Wow, I'm so glad you finally found an article of mine useful. I'm still crossing my fingers that some day, you'll post a relevant/useful comment. A girl can dream, right?
^haha quote of the day!
I'm tempted to get this now even though I don't own an Xbox... Is this a bad sign?
well...this deal is for the pc and not the xbox so hopefully not that bad of a sign...
A great publicity stunt!
Sell previous versions cheap, some who have an illegal version decide to buy it, and are more tempted to buy the newer version in the same store again.
So I guess there's some new game on the horizon of Half Life?
Even if not, it'd make perfectly sense if there was.
hey, hey, hey, i just got my copy, thank! you are my friend for the hour or until the tf2 download is complete, whichever comes first ;-)
66% off from $50 you say? Wow!
$49.99 - ($49.99 * 66%) = $9.99
Wow, I did not know that. I'm terrible at math.
Just bought my copy, downloading TF2.
Wow, this is the greatest video game deal ever! Seriously, these are probably my favorites games and to get them all for ten bucks, that's awesome! Now no one has an excuse for not having played HL2...
Isn't it 80% off? (49.99 - 9.99) / 49.99
I sold my copy for a $10 loss.
The games individually total up to 84.95. The Orange Box as a bundle sells for 29.99 on steam, -66% for this sale gives you 9.99 (i hope, i was too lazy to actually do the math there, just pulling numbers from steam)
If you miss this, Valve does stuff like this a lot. Keep watching Steam news and you'll get a lot of excellent deals. (Best deal ever: $99 for every game Valve has on Steam. They add up to like $280. And that isn't even a special).
I bought my first thing off Steam thanks to this deal.
I live in Italy, thanks to this stupid 1 USD = 1 EUR change i will pay 10 euro, but i'm not complaning, thanks for the news.
