Orange Box PS3 petition hits the 2500 mark

By Stephen Munn | July 26, 2008

As you probably already know, the rushed PS3 port of Valve’s The Orange Box has become something of a point of contention between those who wish to play this on PS3 and those who brought it to PS3, particularly those who wish to play more than just Portal. We brought you word of an online petition, and while you can make your own judgment on whether petitions are worth it, this one has now surpassed a count of 2500 names with more than 27000 visits to the site it’s housed on.

Taking a step back, 2500 names is not a lot when compared to the number of copies EA has sold of The Orange Box on PS3. I’ve never heard of a study that extrapolated consumer discontent based on petition signatures, but over time I would expect this number to increase, particularly as the PS3 continues to outsell the 360 and this is likely to be a game new PS3 owners would pick up when migrating from last generation.

Thanks to Toni T for the tip on this milestone, and congratulations to Mike Seedon on the attention this has drawn.
