I now own 4 copies of it, the generations box set, the source version (bundled with Half-life 2 PC), the Dreamcast Beta version and the PS2 port... The Ps2 port, was spoiled by naff auto-aim, never finished it... But even if you didn't like H-L 1, Orange Box is essential for any Fps fan, Half-lifes 2 ending will leave you cold, but episode 1 picks up the slack, and episode 2 ending will leave you stunned... You owe it to yourself to play them at least once... Having played Half-life 1 on PC when it first came out, it blew my mind…

"Half-Life 2: The Orange Box" is £12.89 at SendIt.com, £12.93 at Currys, TheHut.com/Asda-Entertainment.co.uk, if anybody is interested in this. I had the original "Half-Life" [PS2] & found it one of the worse games I had ever had the misfortune to play. Still got it... must remember to trade that in somewhere for something else. Coupled with my bad experience with the previous title, and the fact that Value outsourced development of the PS3 version to Electronic Arts who then added frame rate issues, connection problems in the "Team Fortress 2" element as well as slow loading times in "Portal", has put me off buying this, although I do read that many people find it a great game. BFN, fp. No worries.

Having a game on Hard drive is so good, you don't have to go look for disc etc, and it's really convenient to play, much like Warhawk. In fact, ever since I got warhawk, and now burnout and wipeout, I hardly ever use the blu ray disc. So good job sony for putting a piece of equipment i'm not using anymore :) That said, already preordered LBP and bioshock, so good times ahead. I love motorstorm, but having 3 racing games is going to strain my gaming time too much... I'll see how the reviews go before I get the game. Plus sony, when do we get singstar patch? MY money is waiting for ya... :) This has to be my most expensive week on PSN, I got burnout and wipeout, both excellent games.

There's a fair few listed on eBay at present by a Canadian seller ("gameconsultant") for GBP 11.99 + GBP 5.99 shipping. Oddly the images in the listing show a PEGI rating on the cover so you may well be buying a Europe version anyway. BFN, fp. @31 [Dave Vincent]:

I remember when it was added but TS didn't list it on the site and there were many, many messages that week saying what a bad update, nothing in the store etc. etc. I was going to comment at the time to say that TS missed Populous from their list, but I didn't bother. It should be on the PSN in the PSOne / PSP full games sections off the top of my head as I was looking in there the other day. BTW is Ratchet & Clank Quest for Booty getting a disc version in this country? Did we get Populous months ago in the UK?
