Do you guys think I should get The Orange Box for the PS3?

Don't really think you can do anything to figure it out unless someone that has it could just tell you how it usually looks...its pretty dead on the 360 until you make your own game and just start it and wait for people to join after a bit, so I can't imagine it being very lively on the PS3 either.

If all you want it for is the TeamFortress2 online it may not be worth it at this point. I dont know. I havent played TF2 for a while.

When I used to play there were always a small group of people 4-6 full games. But honestly you should get it for the PC if you can.

Hardly anyone plays TF2 on 360, and since the PS3 version is even more inferior than that version, I doubt many people will still play it. If you want to play TF2, the PC version is the way to go.

I'm not sure of the stats, but the PC version of TF2 is a lot more active than the Xbox 360, and even that's probably more active than the PS3 version.

nah. get it on pc or 360 if possible. the load times and framerates on the ps3 version are absurd. no reason for it at all either so its really frustrating. 

Yeah, last time I was on TF2, yesterday, games available 24/7

its cheap now so why not

I bought TOB on PS3 last week. There always seems to be a game going down in TF2, but I guess if you have the option to purchase the PC version that'd be your best bet, and that's not even considering all the frame rate issues that were talked about at the time of its release on PS3.

The PS3 is great for some games, this isn't one of them. Most of the people that would have been in the TF2 community we're either scared off by massive bug issues that this version suffered early on or have abandoned it in lue of other online shooters such as Resistance 2, Killzone 2, Warhawk, COD4, COD:WAW, etc. I'd suggest looking elsewhere for an online shooter. However, The Orange Box now sells for about $10 so which is a steal for Portal and all of the Half Life content. I hope this helped.

bad idea

Man, I'm so sick of these threads. Well, more specifically the people that, time and again, feel it necessary to state: "LOL BUYING ORANGE BAWX ON CONSUL IS BHAD." We get that it's probably a better experience on the PC, we get that there's a lot of user-generated content that's indubitably a blast, but you don't seem to get that some of us

A) Don't like to play with a mouse and keyboard or,
B) Don't have the cash to put together a PC that will run games as smoothly as we would like OR,
C) Have the money but don't want to bother with having to constantly sink money into our platform and would rather buy it for one on which it is guaranteed to work.

If the PS3 is the only way you can play it, then go for it.  But I would go for the PC and then 360, PS3 is last resort.  Framerate issues aside, it is still a great game and you get so much more with it, you dont want to play Half-Life 2 and Episodes 1 and 2?

From what I've heard, the PS3 version is really buggy. And Valve has confirmed that it won't won't get the TF2 updates. Try getting it on the PC or 360 if you can.

The Orange Box (PS3)

I meant don't get it for the PS3. 

The Orange Box is great on the PS3! I highly recommend it :) There is a active PS3 TF2 community (http://www.ps3tf2.co.nr/), and is far more active than the Xbox 360 version (partially because there are dedicated servers around instead of relying on client hosted games; this also means there's a greater chance you won't suffer from god-awful lag!). It's not as updated as the PC version but you'll still have a great time playing :)
