I really wish this wasn't $60 on the 360. I have HL2 and ep1 on PC but would play it again on the 360, and I really want to play ep2 and portals. I don't think I'll get into TF2 much but it's still so close to worth it I may jump on it pretty soon anyway. I'm a sucker for achievements, and this box apparently has 99 of them.

I'm in the same boat and also I vowed not to play games on computer anymore cuz i'm sick of sitting in front of one at work all day...the reason I bought an xbox in the first place but TF2 looks really fun...I just doubt it will be fun as 8v8.

True, but for those that don't like how unbelieveably hectic 12v12 is it could be better. Of course that kind of defeats the purpose, but meh. They may even support 12v12 later with an update if it takes off enough and they can optimize connections enough or hell even find a way to run PC based dedicated servers for 360 play.

I was going to pick up a 360 for this. But I think ill pick it up for the pc for the tf2 action and get it for the ps3 when it comes out in a couple months. Kinda want to replay HL2 along with the 2 episodes on a 50" plasma.

edit: Just read that the valve is handling the pc and 360 version and EA is doing the ps3 version so it'll probably suck for ps3, hehe.
