Orange Box contents to be separated at retail

Portal, Team Fortress 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode 2 expected at retail in the next few months.

PC gamers not fond of Steam and unwilling to purchase the Orange Box appear to be in luck. Speaking during a conference call to investors EA has revealed that the new titles previously packaged inside the Orange Box are to be released as separate titles at retail in the next few months.

Portal, Team Fortress 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode 2 are all expected to be available in stores for PC before the end of March. No pricing details were announced, although expect them to be inline with current Steam prices: Portal $19.95, TF2 $29.95 and HL2 Ep2 $29.95.
