It’s hard to imagine that many people have held out this long, but if you have yet to pick up Valve’s Orange Box, now’s the time to do so. Seriously. For this weekend only, Valve has slashed the price of the five-pack wonder to just $9.99 — a 66 percent price reduction.

Included in the anthology are all three Half Life 2 episodes, along with Portal and Team Fortress 2. Considering it was already quite the deal at full price, you can’t go wrong here.

Unfortunately it is a Steam only promotion. I bought myself a copy actually, but even though I already had TF2 it doesn't let me gift it to someone else : Apparently that only works with HL2 and HL2: EP1.

Bummer for me.

when the time comes and when I get game, I'll will join you on TF2.

I need to know about TF2, what are minimum PC requirements (RAM, graphics card, OS, etc.)

Not very steep. If you have a relatively recent PC (say anywhere in the ballpark of 3 years old) it should run fine.

Team Fortress 2 Recommended System Requirements
CPU: 2.4 GHz Processor
RAM: 512 MB
Graphics Card: DirectX 9 capable graphics card 256 MB
Windows 2000/XP/ME/98
Mouse
Keyboard
Internet Connection
CD or DVD rom drive

Also keep in mind the CPU requirement is based on a single core. So if you have a dual core at only 2 GHz, that's even better.

Nice. I think I have dual core CPU and that is good, but I'm stuck with a Intel G33 graphics card (G33 is terrible btw).

That means TF2 will work out for me. Since I have other stuff to do, buying this game will happen a little later.
