It seems the apparent broken,unplayable,flawed(inser t any other negative word here)Orange Box PS3 has been slightly exaggerated by some.
It seems to me every slight technical problem/flaw,even frame drop in any ps3 title is jumped upon with far more negativity than any other rival system(especially the supposed gaming press)
Other apparent AAA titles with obvious flaws seem to get overlooked on other consoles (Mass Effect for example) thats fair enough as by all accounts it's a stunning title even "with" it's technical flaws.
However if Orange Box ps3 is released with the odd frame drop it seems to make it all doom and gloom and somehow makes the Orabge box all of a sudden not a AAA ps3 title.

I was always going to buy this game even tho i have completed Half Life 2 and Episode one on my pc i still want to play through them on a Large HD screen with a full DD/DTS 5.1 setup.
Besides that Team Fortress 2,Portal and Episode 2 are worth the price alone so with this in mind it's a must have in my opinion.

So to conclude it seems Orange Box ps3 isn't as broken as many have claimed (judging on this preview) the guy seems unblinkered in his views and very honest. Perhaps some others should take this approach in future !! who knows ??

Enjoy your games irespective of platform !!

I finished this on the 360 bout a month ago and although its a good game it does show its age abit in the graphic department. The physics are still good though. The vechile sections are quite poor but you get a lot of game for your buck.

I know acceptable frame rate ranges vary from player to player.
But If this report is true, I think EA team has done a good work.
Source engine is a good game engine, it supports vast range of PC and even works well on low-end PC. But Source engine itself has some stutter and loding issues. Souce engine has updated several times from its first release. But they are still there. Though you runs on high-end PC which can handle crysis, some stutters occur.

Anyway, TF2 is my best mulit player FPS of the year.
