would buying a 360 for OB worth it?

well i was looking at a refurbished 360, not just for the orange box, played HL 1 on ps2 and liked it, so i thought why not?

I mean if you have nothing else to spend your money on then sure. Although I'm biased on this because I hate consoles with a passion and valve stuff is meant to be played on a pc, I honestly can't say that it's a good idea.

Short answer, Nope.

Long answer, look at Kyzr's post.

One word.
Steam.

Why not on PC?

The console ports of the Orange Box were not great. If you have enough cash I'd recommend just buying a good PC. If you really want to play with a controller you can always just buy a logitech gamepad and plug it into your PC.

If you're getting a console version though get the Xbox360 one, by all accounts the PS3 port was the worst of the lot.

I have a nice PC already... and i was going to get a 360 anyway ive been told that that version was quite impressive, i also like the Half Life 1 ps2 version so id give it a try.

If you have a nice PC then honestly there isn't a point in buying a 360 for the Orange Box.

The PC version is more impressive. If you really have a nice PC, go with a PS3 if you really want to buy a console. Most of the games on the 360 are playable on the PC except like, the newer Halos.

You probably heard so because the 360 version of HL2 and episode 1 used to have superior graphics to the PC version(running on a newer version of Source), but the PC version of HL2 has been updated to have similar graphics in 2010. Considering all the advantages of the PC version(high resolutions, keyboard/mouse controls, all the great mods etc) you'd be crazy to prefer a console version now.

**** the console versions of all Valve games, played them all minus Portal 2 and all of them so do not reflect the true quality of Valve games.

PC all the way!
