	Great news, as this will make the game available to more people. Wii users are especially waiting for some new games, and a lot of PS3 users simply don't download games from PSN. I hope this means a retail version of Jurassic Park for PS3 is a possibility!

	Cool!!!! What about Xbox 360 :P ?
	Comment by Traaseth92 August 24, 2011, 1:27 pm

	Where is the 360 love? It would sell way more on the 360 than any other console.

	This is great news.. I would definitely buy it for the Wii than any other system.. i played it on the PC and it was fun.. the Wii just seemed perfect for point and click games.. they should have released more.. I'd love for a remake of Full Throttle on the Wii :) and hopefully Jurassic Park also comes out for the Wii

	Telltale, I'm buying 100 copies of the Wii edition! (if I can afford it... runs off to check bank account)

	No offense, but when Gamestop is selling something before you've announced it, it might be a sign you need to deliver news faster. :P Anyway, this is awesome. Congratulations on your recent publishing deals with Nintendo and Sony! Now all three consoles are free to receive the magic of Prismato...I mean, Telltale.

	Please, please make the Deluxe Edition available with the console versions too! (It's just the matter of swapping the DVD with the other disks)

	This is awesome news. For one thing, a disk should run smoother. For another, that'll free up HDD space on the PS3!

	Awesome! The Wii needs this game. Badly.

	Did Telltale make the Sam & Max Wii ports?
	Comment by InLibdingColor August 24, 2011, 6:45 pm

	No, the Wii versions of the first two Sam and Max seasons were published by The Adventure Company (Season 1) and Atari (Season 2).
	Comment by RAnthonyMahan August 24, 2011, 7:26 pm

	I meant did they develop it?
	Comment by InLibdingColor August 24, 2011, 8:03 pm

	will buy this game when it is available for Xbox360
	Comment by biofein August 25, 2011, 6:07 am

	Well, technically, yes, since Telltale developed the original PC versions. But the actual porting was done by The Adventure Company/Atari.
	Comment by RAnthonyMahan August 25, 2011, 6:36 am

	Wii is an interesting move, as most of their clientele has probably never seen the movies.
	Comment by Jake August 25, 2011, 7:11 am

	Why no announce date for Xbox 360? That's the version that will sell more copies than either the PS3 or the Wii version. I don't understand what the delay is.
	Comment by XSZ August 25, 2011, 10:08 am

	I'm just debating on which to get. I'd like the Wii version because I figured the Wii would be a perfect home for the game. However, I'd also like to get the PS3 disk so I can free hard drive space...

	Will this be released on Europe too? Im always looking forward to expand my Wii library, and this would be perfect for the system!

	All I want is Sam & Max Season 3 on Xbox 360. Is that too much to ask? I bought it on PC but I just never play games on PC these days so only did the first episode.
	Comment by Alex Atkin UK August 27, 2011, 9:21 am

	@Jake: That's a lie, iIve seen them thrice!
	Comment by Nintendo Boy1 August 27, 2011, 12:19 pm

	I would gladly pay for the PS3 physical version if it meant better quality audio and textures. After how amazing Sam & Max Season 3 looked and sounded on PS3, BTTF was a huge drop in quality. It would be nice to see that rectified somewhat. A platinum trophy for completing all the episodes 100% would also be huge. A discount for people who bought the season on PSN early-on would be nice, also ;) PS: Speaking of being an official PS3 publisher, does that mean we'll see a Sam & Max: Complete Seasons 1-3 bluray set? all episodes using the newer character models, textures, and graphics engine from season 3? each season with its own platinum trophy, even? :)
