More Hints At Orange Box PS3 Patch

Yep, Valve has finally broken its silence over the reportedly glitch-ridden Orange Box port to the Playstation 3, which has seen some of the most serene gamers embed their pad in the nearest wall in frustration.
In response to a barrage of vitriol from one less than happy chap on the Steam forums, a Valve rep had this to say:
I am sorry that you are unsatisfied with your game. I hope that we will be able to correct any major issues in the future.
A prelude to Valve forcing EA London – who were responsible for developing the PS3 port – to pull their finger out and release a patch perhaps? It looks more likely when, in another thread over on Steam about The Orange Box’s poor audio, a second Valve rep weighs in with:
We’re working on getting the optical cable support into an update. I’ll post when I have details.
No details as to what ‘an update’ means as yet, but improving those Half Life framerates and actually letting us into the Team Fortress 2 lobby, certainly would be a good way to enter the New Year.
Check out the rant and the other thread.
