Half Life 2: Episode 2 Black Box Version Cancelled

Valve has canceled the Black box version of the game which includes only the new games like HL2:Episode 2, Portal and Team Fortress 2. Now they have decided to sell only orange box at reduced price, though the price was not mentioned. You can also get these games through Steam, but no reason was given on why they have canceled the Black box edition. This decision may have taken just to avoid the confusion over the separate editions of the game.
Doug Lombardi of Valve said “Those who purchase the PC version of The Orange Box will get three separate Steam product codes: One for the three new games, one for HL2, and one for Episode One. This way a PC Orange Box owner can give away their Half-Life 2 or Episode One unused Steam product codes if they don’t need a copy of those games.”
