Can I deactivate Portal on Steam so I can sell/give it?

Also I think I'm going to get the Orange Box even though it's ugly as hell because most shops around here think TF2 should cost more than the Box itself =/

Orange Box is ugly as hell?

I think he means the horrible box art.

Let's see if I can decode. There are two retail packages. The first is standalone TF2, for some price, let's say $30. Then there is the Orange Box, which he feels comes in very ugly packaging, that only costs $25. So it's basically a no brainer to buy the Orange Box.

I bought TF2 for $6 at Circuit City during closing =P

No, you cannot deactivate your games and re-sell them. That's the whole point of steam...

Yes, that is it.

I hate digital distribution, it makes us costumers pay more in the end and is full of inconveniences.

So supoussing I want the three games and I already have Portal, do you think I should buy the box or get the games alone? I think HL2 will be released with it's three episodes in a pack so it may be worth waiting.

And while I hate the Box art if getting them alone is too expensive I would get it even if I end up with two portals . What do you think?

You might be able to gift the copy of Portal in the Orange Box.

If all you really care about is the packaging, I can scan my cover of TF2 and send it to you.
