PS3 The Orange Box going to be late, 360 and PC still on track

Bad news to those who have been waiting for the PlayStation 3 version of Valve Software’s The Orange Box. It will be lagging behind the other version of the five-game pack, the ones for the Xbox 360 and the PC.

GameSpot was able to speak with Doug Lombardi, director of marketing at Valve, and got confirmation that the PS3 game compendium (Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life Episode Two, Team Fortress 2, and Portal) will be coming a couple of weeks later than the other two versions. The PC and Xbox 360 versions are still snug on their placeholders with an October 9 release.

There was no reason given for the delay, nor was a new release date given for The Orange Box’s PS3 debut, though online shops are reportedly listing it for a November 18 release. Stay tuned for more info regarding this.
