Sorry, it's still not the announcement you've been waiting for, but we've come up with a little surprise to help ease the pain while you're waiting... a full game from Sam & Max Season Two that you can play for free!

Signing up to get updates from Telltale is already a good idea because it means you'll get instant notification when, for example, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People launches, or we when announce our secret mystery franchise.

To sweeten the deal a little, between now and July 31, when you sign up to receive updates from us, we'll send you a gift code to get Sam & Max 201: Ice Station Santa completely and totally free! If you're new to the whole Telltale experience, this is a great way to find out what we're all about while you're waiting for our next big news to be announced...

Don't delay! Just head over to the subscriptions page, type in your email address, and you'll be playing Sam & Max in a matter of minutes. (Of course, if you've played Ice Station Santa already, we hope you'll share your free gift with a friend!)

	Nice deal In fact I took it. Because who knows when I will cancel game tap! (most likely around the time season 2 is on the wii)

	Do we get one if we're already signed up to receive updates?
	Comment by Maratanos July 16, 2008, 3:19 pm

	I've signed up for updates like, three months ago and I never got any. What up?
	Comment by Superfield Credit Union July 16, 2008, 3:51 pm

	Anyone who has an account but is not currently signed up for the newsletter or big updates can sign up now and will get the free gift. Just go to the subscriptions page (while logged in) and check off either "Telltale's Monthly Newsletter and Big News", or "Big News Updates Only". Superfield, I checked your account and it looks like you are only signed up for blog updates at the moment, not for the newsletter.
	Comment by Emily July 16, 2008, 4:08 pm

	But I never got those either! I haven't gotten one email from Telltale yet!
	Comment by Superfield Credit Union July 16, 2008, 4:27 pm

	Hmm... maybe a bug? I just tried resetting the blog updates for you. Weekly update runs tonight, so you should know tomorrow if it's working or not. :)
	Comment by Emily July 16, 2008, 4:34 pm

	Okay, I just got the newsletter with the activation code in it, and I'm downloading the gift. So I know that works.

	Subscribe to us and get another free Sam & Max also the American way. I jumped right on this, My friend always telling me how good these games are, and from Abe Lincoln Must Die, I agree with him whole-heartedly. Seeing as a Wii version of Season One is on the way, I think I'll wait for that, considering my rinky-dink computer couldn't play it very well.
	Comment by T-man July 16, 2008, 5:35 pm

	Ok i subscribed (also to find out info on SBCG4AP) so please GIMME SANTA!!!!
	Comment by Trogdorman July 16, 2008, 5:42 pm

	I don't know about you guys, but I got it right after I signed up.
	Comment by T-man July 16, 2008, 5:52 pm

	Signed up--didn't get it instantly, but I'll check in the morning.
	Comment by Daniel July 16, 2008, 7:46 pm

	Well, I already bought the season. I'm waiting for my $8.95 refunded. Please?
	Comment by Yit July 16, 2008, 8:34 pm

	Darn, I already get the newsletter, so no freebies for me. ahem Apropos to nothing, will you guys be giving out DVD's of season two at PAX? For people who already bought it electro-digitaly on the internet, I mean.
	Comment by Lena_P July 16, 2008, 8:41 pm

	Yaaaay. I can't afford the money-cost variety of Sam and Max games, because I need to save the moneys for Strong Bad! So whenever a free episode is released I must get it! Plus, I was thinking about getting the newsletter anyway, so it works out both ways. :D
	Comment by Tandy 400 July 16, 2008, 9:43 pm

	Signed up--didn't get it instantly, but I'll check in the morning. Daniel, I took a look at your account - it looks like you were already signed up for the newsletter before today. Lena - probably not, because it's too hard at a show like that for us to verify that people actually bought the season and have not already redeeemed their free gift (we won't have internet at the booth).

	whenever i try to play install it, it says the following: The installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete. This could be the result of a damaged disk, a failed download or a virus. You may want to contact the author of this installer to obtain a new copy. It may be possible to skip this check using /NCRC command line switch (NOT RECOMMENDED) what do i do???
	Comment by July 17, 2008, 4:41 am

	subscribed, checked, didn't get it, i is sad
	Comment by Trogdorman July 17, 2008, 5:08 am

	Apparently I'm experiencing the same sort of "Subscribed before, never got anything, and not getting anything now, either" error. -Sigh- I think the email system doesn't like me personally, but I don't know about everyone else. D:
	Comment by tammikat July 17, 2008, 7:31 am

	I'm subscribed to the daily updates and the newsletter, but I never get them anymore!
	Comment by Guybrush Threepwood July 17, 2008, 8:32 am

	I was subscribed before but I received just the May Newsletter... (well, one mail received is better than none). Now I have re-subscribed... let'see what's wii (will) happens. Ciao! Benny
	Comment by enciclopedia July 17, 2008, 9:26 am

	yeah.... ive been signed up for the letter for 2 weeks and i havent got anything.
	Comment by biscuitdoughhandsman July 17, 2008, 9:55 am

	I signed up a while ago, but I haven't gotten anything. Seems like a lot of people are having this problem, too... Also, this is my FIRST COMMENT!!!
	Comment by 16_BIT_MARIO1 July 17, 2008, 10:34 am

	wah, It's not arriving. D=
	Comment by Shambling Corporate Poster July 17, 2008, 11:29 am

	I also signed up earlier, and I never got a single eMail, at all.
	Comment by July 17, 2008, 11:29 am

	dentbuds, try redownloading. It sounds like your download was corrupt. Everyone else - we're looking into this, but since the promotion is for new subscribers, if you were subscribed to the newsletter already, you don't get a free gift. (Also the last newsletter we did was in May. If you are a brand new subscriber and didn't get a gift email, or if you have been subscribed for since before May and have never received a newsletter, please send an email to support@telltalegames.com with the email address your account is on, so we can look into it. The blog comments are not a good place to handle support requests. ;)
	Comment by Emily July 17, 2008, 11:51 am

	Don't you have some sort of way to PM all users with the code? That would be easier!
	Comment by StrongMatt July 17, 2008, 11:57 am

	[quote]Everyone else - we're looking into this, but since the promotion is for new subscribers, if you were subscribed to the newsletter already, you don't get a free gift.\[/quote] This is my only response.
	Comment by 16_BIT_MARIO1 July 17, 2008, 3:20 pm

	wow, today i signed up for it on my peace-o-crap lappy, and i got it thirty seconds later.
	Comment by magre July 17, 2008, 3:43 pm

	(If you were previously subscribed to the newsletter and are now attempting to get the free gift, and you send an email to support about it and ask nicely, someone will probably hook you up.)
	Comment by Emily July 17, 2008, 5:16 pm

	I can't afford the money-cost variety of Sam and Max episodes, because I'm saving up for Strong Bad. I saw the TV ads for Season One on Gametap and I always thought it looked interesting, but never checked it out. Then I saw 104. Downloaded it and now I love Sam and Max. Getting another episode for free is just awesome! Maybe a free episode some time during SBCG4AP?
	Comment by Tandy 400 July 17, 2008, 8:24 pm

	Sorry for the earlier post and this one. When I did the other one it didn't respond properly, so I thought Mozilla was broken. Apologies much. :D
	Comment by Tandy 400 July 17, 2008, 8:26 pm

	Nice one Telltale! Great deal, great game. One awesome combination wrapped up in one present-like package. Greatness on a popsicle stick.
	Comment by DarkEvilWorm July 17, 2008, 8:49 pm

	I was able to fix the gift issue for many of you who posted here. If you're still having trouble getting the gift, email us at support@telltalegames.com and we'll get it fixed.
	Comment by Emily July 17, 2008, 11:34 pm

	Does the code expire? My normal computer is broken so I I might not be able to download it for a while.
	Comment by NNoah95 July 18, 2008, 8:11 am

	Thanks a lot guys! Great game, I'm interested in buying the season.
	Comment by StrongMatt July 18, 2008, 9:21 am

	where do you punch in the code?
	Comment by stronggamer July 18, 2008, 9:34 am

	Oh God Thank you Telltale my own free game of my favorite pair sam and max i bought the sam and max freelance police the complete Series and got a demo and since i dont have internet on my computer upstairs i can enter the code and play it upstairs thanx so much Telltale
	Comment by SamAndMaxFan188 July 18, 2008, 9:05 pm

	Does the code expire? My normal computer is broken so I I might not be able to download it for a while. It doesn't expire, but it can only be used once. That being said, you can redeem the gift code now and download the game later. The download link and your serial number will be handily stored on your Telltale account for you to access whenever you're ready. :) where do you punch in the code? Here.
	Comment by Emily July 18, 2008, 9:49 pm

	Comment by July 19, 2008, 1:05 pm

	Interestingly enough I signed up for the Strongbad newsletter just because I wanted the newsletter and I received this promotion without even knowing about it! Talk about a nice surprise!
	Comment by Kilocron July 21, 2008, 3:58 pm
