I don't have a $10 to spare, ollool.

Seems like a good deal for so many games.

You'll be able to gift those

I already owned HL2 and Episode 1 and I bought the Orange Box, and I gifted those over to someone else.

The steam Orange Box is actually just something that enables those onto your steam account, and any leftovers can be gifted

The DVD one all came on a few DVD's and installed them to your steam (then they update) but I think even then you could still gift.

I already have Orange Box for PS3. And all the Half-lifes for PS3 so there really is no point for me.

You talking to me? I know you are...

Anyway what I dont get is, portal on its own is still £13.99. The OB is £5.99

Same with TF2 and HL2 and each episode. That means it costs LESS to buy the OB, with 4 other games, than buy them individually.
