Just a side note, you can get this potentially free by signing up for one of the Amazon Visa cards. Link for more info. They also have a student and business version available.

Nice one

Add WOW:TBC to the list as well. Amazon has it for 19.99 with free super saver shipping.

They have a few other computer games for $10 off.

I got it for 19 at a half price books store. I must be out of the loop, I still thought that was expensive.

...

this includes

HL2
HL2: Ep1
HL2: Ep2
Portal
and TF2...

and you're saying you felt that $20 was expensive?

this game package has been declared by several sources as one of the best deals out there for its MSRP of $50...getting it for $37, $29 or even $19 is all the better...especially when they try to sell of the individual parts for $20 a piece ($30 for TF2)

you're certainly entitled to your own opinion but most will feel its a good deal (even @ $37)...that is for those who haven't yet already paid $50 for it a long time ago...

bump for active deal again

 

[SteveBonds]

Wow. Very nice. Got 3.

Thanks OP. In for an Orange Box! I have been waiting for a while now to clip it at $30. I figure that Episode 2 is worth half of that amount easy...

Thanks OP, I snagged one. I've been wanting to get this for a while. Great games and a great value.

When I got my MSI 9600GT and loaded the latest ddrivers, it let me download lost coast, deathmatch, portal and something else called peggle extreme all for free. So what am I missing from the orange box other than the original game?

 

[TerryMathews]

Are you sure the Portal you got is the full version? nVidia users are able to get a trial version, Portal: First Slice I think it's called. It's about a third the game going by level numbers, but in reality it's about a fourth since the last few levels are much longer than the average.

Yeah, what I got is first slice. So it is just enough to get you really hooked so you have to go buy the game? Good marketing scheme... straight from drug dealers.

I got this. I used the amazon credit card signup thing and ended up with a $30 credit to my account, so I basically got it for free. Can be a super hot deal if you sign up for the card

You're missing HL2, Ep1, Ep2, and TF2...

You can pick this up new from Fry's until Tu for $19.99. Picked mine up yesterday. And yes, $20 used is too much.

 

[bigsnyder]

amazon deal still good

 

[sgrinavi]

Thanks OP, great deal

The worst thing about Orange Box is that when you buy it there is waayy too much to play.
