The Orange Box.........EA Classics ?!?!?

Closed

So, I stopped by to see what's new at one of the local game stores and I saw THIS
I'm still like WTF?
I did some research and found THIS.
Still, how come they consider The Orange Box and Half Life an "EA Classic"???

What shocks me is the price ! What's currency is that ?

And yes, Valve is not a publisher so EA is their favorite publisher for boxed and console version.

If the Rating in the bottom left is the one from the Uk...then i would guess it is British Pounds..( or maybe it is australia...dont know how the ratingsymbol of them looks )

Right, I just checked and the box looks exactly the same as mine with the rating (except mine is not "EA classic") and it comes from UK. The thing is, my Orange Box costs me 10€ few years ago :x

The OP is from Romania, so I would say it's romanian currency (RON).
54,90 RON = 12,50 euros = $16,70

Actually, it's Romania. Guess the retailer got it from UK. That would be ~12E

EA published much of Valve's games, right up until the messy breakup between the two.

I'm guessing that is GBP, since the age rating is from the BBFC. Where the hell are you shopping? The last time I saw the orange box (over a year ago), it was about a tenner.

I knew EA is publishing Valve games but I never expected to actually see a Valve game under the "EA Classics" collection.
I start searching since I thought it's something else here. I never knew the PS3 edition was developed by EA. But that's the PC edition so...

Well, I got mine years ago but it's the one with full orange cover, not the EA Classics. This one just made me curious.
