Possibly bad news, from here (http://chuckbb.blogspot.com/2010/09/telltale-games-crossover-extravaganza.html):

I got an awesome opportunity to be a part of a really rare, fun and cool lil' crossover from Telltale Games. This print was created for an exclusive giveaway if you pre-order the game at the Penny Arcade Expo. I may get some copies, and if I do, I may give them away. Stay posted, tuned, or whatever else you characters do (maybe follow that twitter thing).

[Bryko614]

Signed. That picture is incredible.

[Avistew]

They can't announce something as exclusive and then make it available to everyone later. I thought it was lame when they did it with the Purcell slipcover, I hope they don't do it with the print.

While I want the poster, Avi and Ribs are right, but I like the idea I'm quoting. It's there's a way to do it in that way, I'm all for it ^^!

[Hassat Hunter]

So to all the "exclusive" people, you just expect us Euro's (or Asians, or South Americans, or basically everyone not in the US) to go to the USA and PAX for a poster? Really?

[Pinchpenny]

I'm hypocritical. I'd love to buy it, but if I was someone at PAX picking up the "exclusive" poster then I'd be annoyed to find it went on sale soon after.

[Macfly77]

How about if:
The print is exclusively free (with pre-order) at Pax and will be released more widely (and less exclusively) for a small amount of money in the Telltale Store?

[Avistew]

So to all the "exclusive" people, you just expect us Euro's (or Asians, or South Americans, or basically everyone not in the US) to go to the USA and PAX for a poster? Really?

EDIT: -Signed.

No. I think it would have been good to offer it in the store. As someone who was going to be at PAX only to have to cancel, I'm frustrated that I won't be able to get it.
However, if they announce something as exclusive when they release it, I think it's wrong to go back on that without the consent of everyone involved. And since getting the consent of everyone who got it at PAX seems impossible to me, then it should stay an exclusive.

Sure it sucks, never said it didn't, but I want to be able to trust telltale. So I'd rather they didn't go around lying about stuff like that.
If you had asked me before they announced it as exclusive, I would have voted for it to be available at the store, but it's too late for that now.

[DrRocketGenius]

I don't understand why it would be exclusive in the first place. I'm sure they knew we'd want it. :(

Signed.

[Elvenmonk]

Exclusives like this I dislike. But pre-order exclusives I don't mind. Everyone can pre-order, but not eeveryone can go to E3 or PAX. It costs a lot (due to tickets and h/motel rentals and such) and limited anyways since not every single one of us (if we could financially) could go to PAX since it's limited to the venue's person limit.

No but really, I'm die hard TT fan. I'l learn poker if it means I can have the heavy and max in the same room, let alone Tycho and strong bad.

[Gman5852]

Signed.

[allaboardfilms]

Signed. I would definitely buy at least one copy of this.

[JFreeman]

I wonder if they are even allowed to legally sell the two chars they don't own on a print...

But if they are it would be cool to have, it could be a limited order period thing so they only have to print what they need (I can't imagine too many people being interested in it and it would avoid overstock).

[Pinchpenny]

For the record, Telltale have never said anything about its exclusivity either way. We have only got this information from the artist's blog and he could be mistaken.

[JFreeman]

^And he only said it's exclusive to pax right now, not forever.

[Hassat Hunter]

Also oh look, the forums complaining about exclusives again. We should make this a national passtime, seriously.
Maybe we should just get rid of exclusives all together.

Then everyone can be happy. Regardless if they are PC, PS3, Euro, US or Asian.

[Avistew]

Maybe we should just get rid of exclusives all together.

Yeah, exclusivity is overrated.

[xbskid]

+1 for a wide version.

[DrRocketGenius]

I wish a Telltale employee would just come in here and set the record straight as to whether this is exclusive. ...please?

Hi there!
Can we get some history trivia?

Sure!

I just had a discussion earlier with Psy about Ergotism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergotism). We both play League of Legends and they just introduced a character named Urgot, which reminded me of the theory that Ergot poisoning was what caused the hallucinations that led to people believing that people were possessed and/or witches during the medieval witch hunts and the Salem witch trials (for Salem this has been disproven but the medieval hunts were so widespread there were a lot of factors and this was probably one of them).

Okay, then what about this?:

PAX Special: Going to the show? Pre-order Poker Night at the Inventory at the Telltale Games booth 3509 and receive an exclusive poster. Offer good only at the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) in Seattle, Washington, Sept. 3-5, 2010.

[Hassat Hunter]

*sad puppy*

[Rather Dashing]

IT SHOULD REMAIN EXCLUSIVE. How DARE they break the bond of trust of con-goers everywhere? I SAY NAY.

...

Also don't worry guys, I got a friend to snag me a copy of the print. Still, it IS on sale. For the low, low sum of
ONE MILLION DOLLARS! :guybrush:

[Sal]

I'll sign if it will help make you guys happy! :)

[olimango]

Why are people so butthurt about the fact that it might "lose" exclusivity? That's a good thing, it would then be available to more people. How does this affect you in a negative way at all? Get over yourselves.

[StrongBadinator]

Eh, usually I wouldn't ever sign a petition for anything, but that poster is too badass. So, signed. And for people saying that exclusivity is important, remember, you got it for free. We would pay for it.

[Giant Tope]

yeah, even if they do start selling em online, your copy is still signed.

As of right now, this is still a PAX Exclusive item, but that's not to say we haven't seen this thread.

And to play devil's advocate, like many have mentioned in the thread, wouldn't you be upset if something you thought was exclusive became available to the masses? I know when I've gone to Comic-Cons in years past, bought an item I was explicitly told would be exclusive to the con and then a month later saw the same item on sale online, with the Comic-Con exclusive sticker smacked on it - yeah I was pretty upset.

[JedExodus]

And to play devil's advocate, like many have mentioned in the thread, wouldn't you be upset if something you thought was exclusive became available to the masses?

Nah, great things that I like should be shared. As long as I don't pay extra because it was "SUPER SECRET!! EXCEPT TO SEXY HANDSOME PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF" a month prior then it's all good

The slip-case for TOMI DVD was supposed to be an exclusive for pre-orders but now available to everyone who splashes out for the deluxe edition, just to play devils advocate :p

[Bunnyman]

I feel I understand both sides, but I wasn't at PAX so I personally would want one too.
How about at least releasing it in full wallpaper sizes for my desktop?

[SHODANFreeman]

People would still go to cons without also getting exclusive hideously rare items (that many of them then go home and ebay for great profit), so I am fully against con exclusives.

I would guess that a vast majority of fans don't go to the cons, and even the ones that do can't make it to EVERY con, so it just makes it a lot harder if you're trying to collect cool merch/swag.

Actually not really. About all I do is rub it in my friends face for 2 months then help them find copies on the 'net. Like I was upset one of my figurines was a limited edition because all my friends wanted it. And I want a Persona 3 PVC but they're hard to come by, especially for Main character and Fuuka.
I hate unfair exclusives. Limited runs of something you know everyone's going to want (See Sam and Max comic collection) is just unfair. It's basically a "HA! You weren't fast enough to buy this, so Eff off."
Pre-order bonuses just about everyone has a fair shot at aslong as they're not like "Oh hey, game comes out in an hour if you pre-ordered it you get this" type of crap. Hell even then you can just released it altered. Do you think I care that because I pre-ordered Skate 3 I got an "Exclusive" skate park that everyone else got to pay for? Pfft, no. You think I care that Digital Devil Saga is being reprinted (a rare SMT game) so everyone can enjoy it? No. Do I care that my CD I got for pre-ordering a game everyone can get by filling out a form? Eh, a bit because it delayed my getting my replacement CD, but still overall no.
I find this type of exclusive greed to be pointless. What if everyone who bought Devil's Playhouse got the Sam and Max items? I'd be very happy! Then people would stop pestering me for my items, and my fiance who quit targetting me for wearing them, along with half the other team. Exclusives are nice, but never needed. I could understand getting them for free, and selling to everyone else. Or selling others altered versions (like I mentioned above), but just keeping it to a select few people who were able to go to a limited space con (which costs a lot to go to, and/or couldn't make due to work or school) is BS. It's even more so unfair to your European and Asian fans. Hell, even that crap pulled with Devil's Playhouse where we got a very limited time frame for the pre-order bonuses was crap.[If my memory recalls right] The fact that my BlazBlue stick is a limited edition also bugs me because they marked the price up (I got it for $60 though) and everytime I bring it to school everyone tries to use it no matter what because it's a LE. Which really annoys me because people will try to use it with Panda Express or Chik-Fi-la in their laps and BBQ sauce all over their hands.

[Bunnyman]

I never feel THAT special when I have something that others don't. As much as I enjoy my collection of TF2 hats and promotional items, I feel like I would be so far behind if I started TF2 now than I did 3 years ago. Some of those things would be impossible to get. At least this is the case for in-game exclusives. I don't care for the commercials that advertise, "pre-order now and get the exclusive in-game item!" At least in poker night, people will have a chance to get the Lugermorph again. Then again, Pre-orders atleast gives everyone a chance to get the items. (lousy gentlemann's service medal...)

That said I do like the Telltale preorders: free episodes, discounts, message board, DVD slip case, and sometimes TF2 items.

Not really. Although admittedly as a european, we rarely get exclusive limited edition stuff thrown our way when it comes to video games. However when we do, I won't go bragging to other people who can't get it. Maybe that's because I know how it feels not to be able to get something due to exclusivity, or even them just not bothering bringing it over.

As much as I would love to visit comic con, PAX and many other big conventions which are located in America. Not all of us can afford paying £1000 for the trip.

[shref]

considering it got listed as "exclusive", its exclusive. and wont happen. sorry, but dont get your hopes up. tho i'd love to get one :(

[Giant Tope]

There's a reason why certain things are worth more than others. If you have something that's rare, it's pretty special. You may work hard to have gotten that. I know that if LucasArts put the voodoo dolls up for sale, I would be really pissed.

[LuigiHann]

I think I said this on an earlier page, but as long as the new print is non-identical to the original con exclusive print (inverted red/blue colors, maybe?) it should be a win/win, since con-goers will have a unique item and everyone else has a chance to buy a cool print

[SHODANFreeman]

I know that if LucasArts put the voodoo dolls up for sale, I would be really pissed.

I wouldn't, and I had to pay $80 for mine on ebay. I would be glad that other people could have something so awesome. (Plus, the ones handed out at cons are still hand numbered limited editions :p)

As a Canadian exclusives are few and far between. The US (NTSC) and the UK (PAL) at least have their own expo's and conventions but Canada is often overlooked, I have yet to find any sort of largely know con in Quebec/Ontario (Lives in Quebec).
