EA has released a patch for the PS3 version of The Orange Box that fixes a bunch of major issues with the game. I don't know if these fix all the major issues that were reported with the PS3 version but it looks like a good start.  Here's the list of what was fixed from EA:

The update includes the following fixes:
  • Fixed a graphical issue whereby a player would have the explosion effect left on the end of their Rocket Launcher when attempting to Rocket Jump.
  • Fixed a memory leak to improve single player stability.
  • Fixed an issue whereby the players name would not appear on the Stats comparison screen.
  • We have fixed an issue that would cause the vote tallies to disappear when you viewed the scoreboard between rounds.
  • Fixed an online server issue.
  • Fixed an issue that caused a crash when a player that wasn’t in Division 1 entered ‘Your Leaderboards.
  • Fixed an issue with players not always being added to the ‘Players Met’ menu on the XMB.
  • Fixed a bug where a player viewing a friend without an EA account would have an empty entry in the friend’s Leaderboard.
  • Fixed an issue where it was not possible to connect to the EA servers if you had more than 30 friends.
