Valve today confirmed reports that the PC version of its critically acclaimed compilation the Orange Box (PC, PS3, X360) will be split for individual retail sale on April 9.

Portal and Team Fortress 2, which had previously not been available individually at retail outlets, will be sold for $19.99 and $29.99, respectively. Valve is also planning the Half-Life 2 Episode Pack, which will include both Episode One and Two in addition to Half-Life 2 Deathmatch for online play, priced at $29.99.

All three games will be identical to their Orange Box and Steam counterparts. The individual titles will be available in North America on April 9, and worldwide on April 11.

    In other words, yes, they've been available from the get-go, except for those few crazy people who still cling to the notion that games need to come on some sort of physical medium....with cardboard around it.
