GMG's Orange Box promo - is it worth it?

Open
Udgard

$5 for Half Life 2, episode 1 & 2 plus portal and TF2 (which is free now).
Is it worth it to get this package for the $5 price tag, or should I just get the Half-life 2 (priced at $2.5), or am I better off trying to find individual games for sale (have they been sold for really big discounts/bundles?).

Edit: Went ahead and bought it. Thanks for the advices!

This works only for purchases above $7 or $8 I think. Still, thanks for sharing the info :)

Orange box was my second or third purchase on Steam. I've bought for the full price. It went -75% the next day.

I was young and didn't know better. I learned my lessons the hard way.

I got mine like 6 years ago at 10$ on a retail store, totally worth it. Also I'm prtty sure it will give you TF2 premium.

Everyone should own the Orange Box, the value for every game included is insane + you do get Premium TF2 so it gives you more stuff in TF2.

Also not sure if you still get it but when I first added Orange Box to my Steam account I got the duplicate games I had as "Gifts" in my inventory.

If I already have TF2 premium, will it give me anything else extra?

It will give you DOUBLE PREMIUM!!! It unlocks playing as Saxton Hale and adds Tactical Fedora to the possible drop list!

Not Portal. I didn't get a Portal copy even though I had it before activating. I got extra 2x Episode 1, 1x Episode 2 & 1x Half-Life 2 though.

Completely worth it! I got San Andreas from the top 20 but if you don't already own The Orange Box buy it, cause you won't regret it.

Okay guys, another question: Orange box or Bioshock Infinite? I want to buy them from my creds, so only one of them.
I'm starting to thing about only the Box, as Bioshock I. would be cheaper with season pass if I wait for the winter sale (no rushing here; cheaper price is more important than asap game). Any thoughts?

Orange box > Bioshock Infinite.

Hell, Portal on it's own > Bioshock Infinite :)

Wait. The orange box isn't going to be cheaper, it has been available for a long time.

Bioshovk Infinite might get cheaper though.

Even if you ignore TF2, you get 4 games for $5. That's $1.25 a game for some of Valve's best work... How is it even a question?

Is the orange box worth getting as I've just brought Portal in the sale a couple of days ago?

HL2 and the 2 Episodes are really top notch games if you haven't played them before. Well worth the $5!

I think you get a gift copy of Portal when you activate the Orange Box if Portal is already on your account.

Ah. I knew that two games from The Orange Box gave extras and that one of them was HL2, but I mixed Portal up with HL2:EP1.

It's $2.50 more for Ep 1 + Ep 2 + Portal (if you ignore TF2 premium.)

Definitely worth the extra.

Garry's Mod goes hand-in-hand with Counter-Strike Source, but isn't developed by Valve.

I'm not entirely sure, but I do know that they've run out of items on the previous top 50 sales, so there's a possibility of the game you want being out before the sale is actually over.
