Valve has given you a bit more incentive to pre-order the Half-Life compilation to end all Half-Life compilations, The Orange Box via Steam. Not only will you gain access to the Team Fortress 2 beta starting next week (Sept 17th to be precise), but you'll also save 10% off The Orange Box's normal asking price.
But Susan, I hear you say, what if I don't care about the beta or the extra scratch? Why should I bother with a pre-order then? Because you also get a Half-Life themed version of Peggle, that's why! Granted, it comes with the rather unfortunate name of Peggle Extreme (presumably you should either drink Mountain Dew or snap into a Slim Jim while playing it), but it's a nifty little freebie, just the same.
The Orange Box, which consists of Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2 Episode 1,* Half-Life 2 Episode 2*, Portal, and Team Fortress 2, is due out for PC and 360 on October 9, with the PS3 version coming shortly afterwards.
