Soon, Half-Life 2: Episode 2 will be making its way onto the Xbox 360 and will be bundled with a bunch of other goodies. And those guys over at Valve found an easy way to identify the new compilations ... by color.
The Xbox 360 (PC and PS3) will be getting what is known as the Half-Life 2: Orange bundle. Included is the original Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episodes 1 and 2, Team Fortress 2 and Portal. The orange package will set you back a reasonable $59.99. For our PC brethren they have one other option called Half-Life 2: Black. This bundle will include Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Team Fortress 2, Portal and will cost $39.99. The Black bundle is for those PC gamers that already purchased Half-Life 2 and Episode 1. Phew ... there you have it. But is anyone a little turned off by the whole color coding system?

It makes more sense now we know about "black".
Naming it orange out of the blue seemed a bit odd, at the least.

Even if you already have HALF Life 2 and Episode 1 on PC doesnt make sense to not have it also on Xbox360 for some achievements.

The box colors make perfect sense...orange and black have been the logo's colors since the original hit in 1998.

$59.99 is a great value for all that's included in the Orange bundle. Have been intrigued by the trailers of Portal. Looks interesting.
Way to go, Valve!

Man, $39.99 for PC Episode 2 is a lot of money. The promise they made with episodic content was that they would release shorter games, faster and cheaper than full length games. I just want Episode 2, not Portal and TF2!

Ah, finally HL2 hitting the 360. I have it on PC, but i ditched the gaming out of my PC in favor of console gaming, so that's good news.

If you just want Ep 2, buy it from Steam. No ones forcing the bundle on you. The bundle just gives you a price break on multiple titles.
