The Orange Box has become available for pre-purchase on Steam. If you pre-purchase it before October 10, which is the release date, you’ll get 10% off the price plus you get to take part in the Team Fortress 2 beta that will begin next Monday, September 17.

If you haven’t been paying attention, The Orange Box includes 5 games: Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Team Fortress 2 and Portal. Shaving 10% off of what’s already a great deal almost seems like robbery. But there it is..

A new Team Fortress 2 ‘Meet the Soldier’ Vignette was just released too. Check it out here.
