I just purchased the orange box, and the game is amazing. I have read all the reviews on it and I only noticed a a bit of lag at certain points.

I am having troubles with getting online with Team Fortress 2. When I enter the game, a screen pops up "conecting to EA online", it never lets me connect. I fixed it by creating a new PS3 online ID. With the new PS online ID I was able to get to a server and play. Why I had to create a new ID, I do not know. I was wondering if any of you had this problem? I was going to return the game and get another copy so I can use my original ID, but I am not sure if it is something wrong with the disk or what. If that does not work I might try calling sony, Valve or EA. It might return it and purchase Warhawk or Resistance.

Any suggestions! What should I do.

A friend of mine said he has the same issue. I'd say check Valve or EA forums, google, call them up or just live with it.

As for trading it in, if you're done with the Half-Life stuff, why not, but IMO the Orange Box is the perfect package and I wouldn't part with it for any other game.

Team Fortress sucks on the PS3. I have it, and it's just so terrible, don't put too much energy into fixing it.

I have a similar problem with Team Fortress and Rock Band, where it says "Connecting to EA server" and then says "Connection lost with server." Whats weird is that I can do all the other stuff online, i.e. play COD4 or resistance...I'm not sure what the deal is

I believe this had to do with the fact that you have to register your psn account with an ea online account. I had to do it to play fight night round 3 online and then it reminded me when I tried to get online with Fifa 08. Rock Band and Team Fortress have worked perfectly for me but it might be because my psn id is merged with an EA online account. Try to look into that.

I don't have the Orange Box for the ps3, but if TF2 doesn't work or doesn't work well, especially playing with a controller, it's a shame. That game is probably the most fun I've had playing an FPS (been playing since beta on PC). Of course, I play/played with friends that were pretty good. It's a fairly simple game, but it's also probably one of the most polished games I've EVER played, and that's not over exaggerating (although, considering it took them like 10+ years to make it, I guess it should be).
