I've got 100 NZD to spend.

The Orange Box on Steam in NZD is about 57 dollars.

Left 4 Dead on Steam in NZD is about 74 dollars.

I'm wondering; what do you think is more suitable to buy in this current time?

Many will say The Orange Box, but I got much more playtime out of Left 4 Dead. It's a unique experience that you really can't get from anywhere else. A major patch that adds content just came out today too. I recommend it over The Orange Box.

Orange box for sure. L4D just had an update today but before that it got pretty old pretty fast. There really isn't a lot to do once you've played through the same 4 levels 100 times.

I only played campaign once, but I played versus on No Mercy thousands of times. And I could play it a thousand times more. Thankfully I don't need to. The meat of the game is certainly the versus mode.

The Orange Box is a much better value, especially if by some strange chance, you have never even played half-life 2.

Orange Box.

L4D lasted about an hour and a half for me. Boring.

I'm going to have to go with TOB. Team Fortress 2 alone is worth the money. Throw Portal and the Half-Lives into the mix and you've got an unbeatable value.

I personally bought The Orange Box just to play Team Fortress 2. I barely touch the other games. That game alone is enough reason for me to purchase The Orange Box over Left 4 Dead.

If you've never played Team Fortress 2, just buy the damn box. You wont regret it. It's shaping up to be the BEST mulitplayer shooter. EVER :D

All personal opinion though so don't hurt me.

Or wait till they make a deal when they combine the Orange Box and L4D.

Orange + Green = BROWN

"The Brown Box" Nice 8)

I would actually take Left 4 Dead. I've played L4D a lot more than I have Team Fortress 2, which is basically the only game I have played a lot out of the Orange Box. I would personally get both if you could, if you can't, L4D. Personal preference really.

Value wise you can't beat the Orange Box. However Left 4 Dead may go on sale later this week on steam, so I'd wait to see what happens.
