That is the question

I'm torn up about getting the Orange Box for the PS3. On one hand, it's a damn good deal for 5 games, and I really want to see what all the fuss about Portal is. On the other hand, I find it really disgusting what EA has done for PS3 owners, which is ****ty ports. After COD4 and AC, there is no reason why PS3 owners should have to put up with ****ty EA ports. Maybe I'll pick it up after Christmas, but I am not sure :?

YOu are misinformed. Valve let EA do the ports, because Valve personally doesnt like ps3, they just want the extra revenue

honestly I wouldn't reward a company for making a substandard port. I heard the game itself is still good and not unplayable like some fan boys may say but still, there are many other quality FPSs out there, why reward a half done port? Gamers do have a power to effect change with developers and publishers and that is their wallets.

Try Call of Duty 4, Unreal Tournament or Haze when it comes out. Also REsistance is a great FPS.

EA will screw you in the end. Look at how they rewarded all us loyal Madden fans. This should not even be a debate. COD4 is the only FPS (besides UT3) to buy right now. COD4 is only keeping the throne warm for Killzone2 anyway. Nuff Said.

I just bought it off Steam for my laptop. I'm not going to bother with a crappy port.

I need the orange box cause I love half life and i don't have a good PC I can use. Hopefully the Orange Box supports keyboard and mouse like half life for the PS2. Anyway, I don't think that the ports will be very sh***, just episode 2, not portal and very little lag on the other ones but portal will be the best port.

Valve let Ea do the PS3 port, the other one was done by valve themselves.
