	quote Recent activity on Valve's Steam forums is pointing towards an imminent patch that should go some way towards remedying the numerous flaws evident in the PS3 version of The Orange Box. While the game was widely heralded as one of the games of 2007, that wasn't necessarily the case for those opting to play on the PS3. Having had to wait a number of weeks for what is widely acknowledged as a broken port of one of the biggest bargains of recent times, PS3 owners were subjected to below-par frame-rates across the Half-Life games, alongside extended loading times in Portal and broken matchmaking facilities in Team Fortress 2. These flaws led to IGN giving the PS3 port a score of 8.4, which although respectable paled to the 9.5 awarded to the PC and Xbox 360 versions. Fortunately, the game's original developer Valve is looking to cement its reputation as one of the more considerate presences in gaming, opening up a thread on its forums for PS3 owners to air their grievances and suggest possible tweaks. It's still unclear when we can expect a patch and EA, responsible for the games PS3 port and publishing, was unable to offer confirmation or a concrete timeframe. We'll bring you more as soon as we get it. Here is a link to the article, to prove I haven't made it up (as if I would) IMO this is gonna be good... I mean, people who own TOB on PS3 will probably have either completed everything or given up by then... Discuss; -------------------
