	Um... How do you even install the damn thing? I'm pretty sure that "dmg" isn't a real file extension.

	Just wanted to say that this episode looks so great. I love the scupted porcelain-like look of the guy's white beard, and the way that Sam's clones' underwear crinkles as they walk. And again, the detailed lighting looks great and adds a whole new dimension to the game. I'd really love to see the first two seasons "ported" to this new engine with the beautified models and sets. It seems that, on PSN at least, the audio quality has taken a dive over the previous versions. What gives? Please make the last episode return to (or exceed) the audio quality of the first few episodes of this season. I'd gladly pay $40 at retail to get all 3 seasons on PS3 if they were all at similar levels of visual and aural quality (and included platinum trophies!). Feel free to pass that along to Ubisoft :)
