SALE! Weekend Offer: The Orange Box for $9.99

Next news
4:20 PM - April 25, 2009 by Jane McEntegart

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).

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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).
