If you’re looking forward to snagging the PC version of The Orange Box (all the Half-Life 2 content, Portal and Team Fortress 2), a new deal announced today might just encourage you to order the game via Steam. Valve’s deal: if you pre-order the game on Steam, you’ll get into the Team Fortress 2 beta and get 10% off the game’s $49.99 price tag (if you pre-order by October 10).
Starting September 17, those who pre-purchase The Orange Box via Steam can download and activate the beta release of Team Fortress 2, which DailyGame played at EA’s Studio Showcase and will preview in the days ahead. Team Fortress2 delivers new game types, a signature art style and persistent player statistics.
In addition, those who pre-purchase The Orange Box via Steam will also receive a copy of Peggle Extreme. PopCap and Valve have teamed up to create a special edition of the game themed around content from Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Team Fortress 2 and Portal.
The Orange Box will ship for Xbox 360 and PC on October 10 in North America and October 12 in the rest of the world.
