Thanks Blue's News
Valve officially announces plans for a retail release of the three individual new games from The Orange Box. Some details of the plan differ from the first reports on this story, as the prices in the earlier story were reversed (Portal will be $19.99 and TF2 and Episode 2 are $29.99 each - which show in the original story now, we're not sure if they were changed after the fact or if we got them wrong initially), and the April 9 street date is for the US only, with a release in other territories planned for April 11. Also the Episode Two package will include Episode One, and as with the Orange Box, users who end up owning more than one copy of one of these games can "gift" a copy to someone via Steam. Word is: "All three packages include support for Steamworks achievements, automatic updates and more, and do not require Half-Life 2 to play. For more information, please visit www.steamgames.com."
