The Orange Box

The Orange Box is a compilation of the following games: Half-Life 2 Half-Life 2: Episode One Half-Life 2: Episode Two Half-Life 2: Lost Coast (hidden addition) Half-Life 2: Deathmatch (added in updates; Windows only) Half-Life: Deathmatch - Source (added in updates; Windows only) Team Fortress 2 Portal Additionally, in the Windows version, the player may download and install Peggle: Extreme once The Orange Box has been installed.

For the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, this is the only release of these games.

Microsoft's second console, the Xbox 360 (2005), is remembered for popularizing online multiplayer through Xbox Live and for a notoriously high hardware failure rate (the "Red Ring of Death") — which ironically makes well-preserved, working units and complete game cases more collectible today. Physical 360 games are still generally affordable, though limited Kinect-era peripherals and bundles are becoming harder to find complete.

Gamevaro tracks The Orange Box for Xbox 360 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding The Orange Box to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This X360 release dates back to 2008.

Market insights

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for The Orange Box, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Xbox 360 titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
