I'm sorry, but are the console-only gamers in this thread really that biased? If you can't acknowledge the fact that TF2 is an objectively superior experience on PC, you're really calling into question your ability to give meaningful opinions regarding anything.
At present, I don't have a gaming PC. I'm playing exclusively on consoles. TF2 on PC isn't an option for me. That doesn't stop me from recognizing that it is the vastly superior version.
I think the stubborn, mindless arguments brought by the console-only gamers are just another form of the "Sony vs MS" console war; people will defend what they have, versus what they don't, to their intellectual deaths.
PC-only gamers, while occasionally quite full of themselves, are at least honest about the shortcomings of their preferred platform. You don't catch them talking up Madden or Street Fighter for Windows/Mac because those games are better played on a console.
It helps, I suppose, that the people who game on PC tend to prefer the genres handled best by PC. They're not playing "console games", so they could care less if those games suck on their "system".

Tf2 alone is worth bout 5000 dollars alone.. played it almost 900 hours now and still loving it.. never tried portal but heard great things.. half life also epic games..
get it for all the reasons except TF2. TF2 is better played on the PC since the 360/ps3 hasn't updated anything, and the PC has a ton of new things added to it like new melee weapons, maps, ect. Sooo YES get it NOW!!
Oh btw about a week or so ago, a rental store was going out of business and it was the last day before the store closed. Well everything was like 90% off and you could by like 20 movies for $15. Well as for the games, my brother and I bought the Orange Box for only $1.29!

Actually I didn't even mention two whole games. Portal was intended to be a demo, but people didn't care. Half Life 2 (And eps) aren't even a full game. When ep 3 comes out they will finish Half Life 2. That's right, there are barely even two games in the Orange box that claims to have five.wordsmith said:
TF2 is meh. I've played better, I've played worse. It got progressively worse with every class update.
For the record, I own the PS3 version, universally recognized as the crappiest one (got it for dirt cheap as well). It's perfectly bearable bar a couple of fights where the frames/sec take a noticeble dive. I don't play Team Fortress though, so can't comment.
Sure, the PC version is better if you don't mind spending more. But if you do, at this price the PS3 version its still a good buy.

For $15 (or is that the Euro mark? I don't have my glasses on), it's great on any console.Mexicoho19 said:
Although it's better on the PC, at least TF2 is.
Well if you don't have a pc that can run it, then sure, go ahead and get it on Ps3. It's still an amazing deal.
Still though, the magnificence of tf2 for the pc cannot be understated. I've about 1000 hours logged in that game.

True, I agree with you there, TF2 is better on PC, but Portal and Half Life seemed the same to me.martin said:
Just get it,and if you happen to like TF2 consider getting that on the PC where it has tons and tons more FREE content.
I bought it on ps3 for £15 pre owned, didnt have any issues with the game, in fact the only reason I traded it in for something else is that I got bored of the main game
