The 360 version has no anti-aliasing and no mod support. The differences between the PC and the 360 versions are almost as great as the differences between the 360 and PS3 versions. BTW, the PS3 isn't any more powerful than the 360 where it counts but you can still find games that run better than the Orange Box.

Honestly, if you don't get any of the great exclusives for the PS3, and instead decide to solely buy one of the games most famous for being better on the 360 then it's pretty much your own fault that the PS3 isn't used much at your household.

Everything outputs at 1080P (or whatever mode you set) on Xbox because it has a hardware scaler.  I didn't realize how big a difference it made until I got ahold of a PS3 and witnessed it - the PS3 actually changes the display mode when you enter most games down to 720P.  Unless your TV has a fantastic scaler built into it, this absolutely kills the graphics.  I have a circa 2003 1080i HDTV and it doesn't do a fantastic job scaling 720P (and it can't directly draw 720P, it has to scale it) - so I suppose the experience may vary, but for me this means I will never actually own a PS3 - it looks terrible next to the Xbox for the exact same games (I rented a few when I borrowed the PS3 so I could compare.)

To be fair, most games on both platforms actually render to a 720P or slightly lower frame buffer - but the lack of a scaler on a PS3 means that the output image on a 1080i or 1080p display really, really suffers.  If I had a 720p display I suppose the PS3 would look more like the Xbox.

I own The Orange Box for PC AND for 360. I can tell you that you should better shut up.

Just look at the Metacritic score. Nuff said

 You should check my game collection.

well the manner in which u have wrote ur post points me into accusing u of a liar.....................

i used to own orange box for ps3, and team fortress worked brilliantly, 360 version is better however due to it having better room search options and the like. but overall the ps3 game is just as good.

That's cool, just don't expect me to waste time reading any more of your threads or posts (unless some jerk reports them and makes me read them :-p).

hi alt account.

i have a 32" bravia 720p 1080i tv. and ps3 games looks superb. in fact i dont know what ur waffling on about.

i highlighted some jibberish, if u have a 1080i tv for eg. and the game is 720p, the game will run perfectly fine as 720p

You talk out of your ass.

How is Orange Box on consoles 'shit'?

Really?

I did and you should know that Valve made a great port and the controls are very good like almost every console FPS. Loading times are on the PC annoying too and I had never any problems with the framerate.

Team Fortress 2 is getting a patch which makes it equal to the PC version this christmas (no user content of course)

There is no better deal you can get for $20. 3 AAA games and 2 expansions.
