This has been annoying the shit out of me for some time now, and I'm fairly certain other people are a bit ticked off too;
Are valve really going to release retail Portal + Ep2 + TF2 only in the orange box? I.e. bundled with HL2 and Ep1 - i.e. forcing us to buy games we already have. I'm hugely annoyed at this and it's really quite the asshole tactic by Valve. Forcing people to repay for the same thing is just ridiculous, and honestly, nothing I expected from Valve.
Sure, TF2+Portal+Ep2 might be released on steam - but I'm fairly certain that if it is, it'll be a later release than The box and more importantly, it's on steam. I just don't like buying virtual copies of games.
Unless they bring back The Black Box before release, I'm seriously gonna warez the games. There's no way in hell I am paying for games I own, no matter how low the price is. It's a matter of principle.
In any case, discuss.
