    I just got the Orange Box today for my PS3
    omg... FANTASTIC! ok back on track:

    At first I thought that the "crappy porting job" done by EA was bull... until I played full fledge destruction... I saw a frame skip and stood up for no reason...
    When playing Consoles you are used to fluid gaming... once theres a frame skip you go "Huh?... What... wha.... ?!?!? HUH!??!?"

    So anyways... I got it up and running... Portal... incredible... KB + MOUSE... problem


    1-I try to get the Keyboard and mouse (Logitech S510) hooked up and nothing happens... great... what now?

    2-Anyone notice the FIRE difference on PS3 compared to PC ? Its different...

    3-Anyone notice the WATER difference? it seems better on PC... but sometimes its better on PS3

    4-Anyone see shadow problems? like... the shadows have lines... as if you got cut and each second slice it taken away

    5-In TF2 can I play with PC gamers?!

    6-Anyone know if AA AF HDR etc.. is standard? Anyone know where I can find the comparable settings from PC to PS3 (even though it has none) ?

    I thought it was pretty much common knowledge that the Orange Box is better on the PC. As much as I love my PS3 I would never get a PC port for it.

    I'm also pretty sure that the PS3 version uses HDR lighting. As far as it's levels of AA and AF who knows.
