The Orange Box: Weaker on the PLAYSTATION 3

In the latest 1UPYours Podcast, they talk about The Orange Box for the PLAYSTATION 3.

"You can't walk in the store and buy The Orange Box for PS3 [it's not out]." a 1UP podcaster told. Thats when another came in. "We got the review builds for the PS3 version, and it doesn't work as well [as the 360]".
They state how Midway are starting to lead on PLAYSTATION 3 to make console games equal, but EA leads on the Xbox 360 because "thats where the money is at".

They go on to talk about PLAYSTATION 3 firmware updates and the amount of time it takes (normally it takes me around 5 minutes) saying it takes about 11 minutes for the update to work. They also complained that 2.00 should have been 1.95, which I agree with.

The whole The Orange Box situation comes as no surprise to me, when Valve handed it over to EA and Gabe Newell started bashing the console, it was only a matter of time before we received news like this.

whtevr, even if it may not work as well. i'm still thinking about getting it, i really wanna play portal. then i'll prolly get into hl eps 1 and 2 since i haven't played those. but ea is really being a prick right now. they can shove it for all i care. kind of interesting to see how quickly moods can change after new consoles come out.

i have no idea why, but it takes me around 10 minutes also, maybe a lil more. i have dsl. i'm thinking about dl'ing it onto a flash drive from my comp next time and then doing the update that way. i might be able to cut the time in half that way or less. i wonder if my ps3 connection just isn't set up right, so it's running slower. no idea.
