Orange Box unlocks midnight Oct. 10th, preload now!

halflife2If you're a PC gamer, then this coming week shall deliver some awesome gaming goodness in a form of a box: The Orange Box. That's right, Valve's eagerly anticipated Half-Life 2: Episode Two, along with side-dishes of Portal and multiplayer game Team Fortress 2 will be delivered in a nice Orange Box.

Right now, if you've pre-ordered The Orange Box, you can preload all three new games and everything will officially unlock at midnight on October 10th. Here's some more details, courtesy of a Valve email:

"We'll be unlocking The Orange Box products just after midnight Pacific time next week on the 10th of October. Lots of people have been having a lot of fun with the Team Fortress 2 beta, so we're looking forward to seeing what people think of Portal and Episode Two. The Orange Box will also be available at North American game retailers later on the 10th, for both PC and XBOX 360."

I definitely agree about the Team Fortress 2 beta, I've been having loads of fun. Even though I exhausted my fun on the Medic, I did some sampling of the Demoman and Sniper and had some extra sides of gibbing fun.
