Orange Box to PlayStation 3 Next Week Companion Cube to find a whole new audience of admirers. By Andrew Hayward, 12/03/2007 Electronic Arts announced today that The Orange Box, previously released for Xbox 360 and PC in October, will be available on PlayStation 3 in North America and Europe next week, on December 11th. France and Germany can expect to see the PlayStation 3 version early next year. The Orange Box, originally developed by Valve, combines three new releases -- Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Portal, and Team Fortress 2 -- with Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode One for what can only be considered a ridiculously great value. Well, we certainly thought so, at least. However, our recent hands-on session with the near-final PlayStation 3 build (ported by EA UK) revealed several notable performance issues that may or may not be addressed before release. Proceed with caution, PS3 owners -- and look out for a full review here in the near future.
