BTW in our reserve systems at my gamestop we have a release date for this
Also they are appearently releasing somthing called Half Life Black and another version called Orange that i've heard nothing about.
Black and Orange are the (at least current) names for Episode 2 release packages.
Black is the package we've known about on the PC for a long time. Episode 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2
Orange is the package we were told about for the consoles, but is also coming out for the PC, with Half-Life 2, Episode 1, Episode 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2
