Second of all: Greg said there was going to be Achievements, yes Xbox Live-style achievements.
Third of all: This e-mail confirms it.

So what made you guys buy the Orange Box, for me it was Peggle Extreme, at first i was a bit sceptical about the "Deal of the century", but when i saw today that Peggle Extreme was in, i was instantly swayed into buying it. :thumbs:

I've modified the link to be October 10th for a midnight release (0:00), that's 8AM british time.
Not to mention the countless areas where they've removed part of the level to get better performance, as well as countless of velocity exploits you could do by jumping through the portals.
Well if it was 9th october, 9AM then you can use this: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?year=2007&month=10&day=9&hour=16&min=0&sec=0&p1=234&p2=136&p3=195&p4=240
You can also browse the site and get your own timezones, times and so forth.
Edit: Or better yet...
