Does anybody have a clue when its being released? I have been saving my MP since the day Fright of the Bumblebees came out & I am getting REALLY impatient. I know that the achievements have been posted for close to 2 weeks.... so has anybody found the release date?

Not until August, Microsoft is doing one of their Summer of Arcade events, so the only games coming out for the next 6 weeks are the ones on the list, and W&G isn't on the list.

Luckily, The Secret of Monkey Island IS on that list, so that can hold you over.

Monkey Island IS NOT on that list of Summer of Arcade. It was removed. Last Resort CAN be released Wednesday.

Yep, Monkey Island is coming this very wednesday :D!

Regarding The Last Resort, it's not clear if those will be the only games being released during the five weeks, but I bet they won't. As a matter of fact Watchmen part 2, Tour de France and Sonic & Knuckles will be released within this period, so I'm pretty sure we'll be able to download TLR in August.

Well thats bullshit. It should have been released by now. Does Telltale have any control over this?

Whats more important is MS doesn't f up and decide to release muzzled first.

Of course, there's always the unthinkable option that lackluster episode 1 sales have caused them to cancel the XBLA version of the last 3 episodes.

I don't think they would go quite that far. As I said, they already have the achievements posted online. Plus Wallace & Gromit is doing Ok considering that it wasn't released all that long ago & didn't receive much hype from those bastards at Microsoft. Just for comparison I'll add Sam & Max's sells too.... It is currently 200/223 in popularity in America (S&M is 205) & 116/217 in England (S&M is 178) *microsoft actually hyped it there & yes I do have multiple accounts... wanna make something of it?*. So as I said before, I don't think would have cancelled it for poor sells. Look at all the low selling games that got sequels... I mean seriously.

That's why it's called the unthinkable option.
