Telltale Games

Not instant, but it's going to be a definite purchase for me. The game itself seems very interesting and I want to support the pilot program.

Plus: I haven't bought Sam&Max S3 yet, so using the 50% coupon is a no-brainer for me. More game for less money... that's why I love Telltale

That's one hell of a discount isn't it!

I've pre-ordered now! With the 50% off I got the SoMI and the Grickle book. With the books coming in next weekish it looks like I'll be getting this delivery sooner than the one I placed on the 15th March for the MI goodies!

It'll prob still take a month or so to make its way down to me though...

It's about half the discount I got when Wallace and Gromit had this same deal. =P

**puzzlebox** · 05/05/2010, 09:30 am

Instabuy for me. Plus I ransacked Telltale's store, which I now feel vaguely guilty about... it's almost like stealing.

Secret Fawful · 05/05/2010, 09:51 am

I would buy now but I can't. Since I got Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse, I have to save for Monkey Island 2: Special Edition.

mathman77 · 05/05/2010, 10:50 am

Would've been instant, but coupons don't work and I'm broke.

moronic50 · 05/05/2010, 11:43 am

picked up the game but don't need any of the other stuff. There are only 2 things i can think off that i would really want A) A Sam and Max police badge and B) Some kind of Figurine/statue to do with MI (but better than the one lucasarts offer!).

DrRocketGenius · 05/05/2010, 11:56 am

Bought.

Went a little crazy with the 50% off, too.

Got the
Monkey Island Poster (Signed)
Monkey Island Drinking Vessel
The Book of Grickle
Sam and Max Buttons

Javi-Wan Kenobi · 05/05/2010, 01:51 pm

I fell into temptation. I've preordered the game, along with Max's T-shirts and hat, the S&M season 2 case file, the shot glass, and Monkey Island's jar.
I'm weak...

Icedhope · 05/05/2010, 01:58 pm

I will be getting it, when is unknown.

Avistew · 05/05/2010, 04:17 pm

@Dashing: I'm curious why you want 3 copies of the case file. Planning on selling them on ebay when they're out of stock?

Actually, not three. Six. I own four.

...

I better explain this one.

See, each Case File comes with one of six character's Time Cards. These come in Bosco, Ms Bosco, Superball, Soda Poppers, and Sam and Max variations. The first time I had a 50% off deal, I thought I might as well snag a case file....after all, these were reduced to near-nothing and I'd lost my Friendly Demon Song CD from the first one. I was lucky enough not to get a duplicate card. I then did the same thing, but with two case files, during the recent 50% off Sam and Max sale, mainly because it'd be nice to have a "full-ish set" of four coasters, a couple more Soul Tokens, and a couple back-up copies of the Friendly Demon Song disc. Again, fortune! No duplicate cards.

So now I'd like to try my luck again, because I'm now two cards away from a full set of time cards, and also because one of cards I'm missing is Sam(my favorite character of the set).

I have TWO Sams. And I just have TWO cases files!!!! T_T

Avistew · 05/05/2010, 05:05 pm

Oh, I see, I didn't realise there were several possible cards. That makes sense.

MaxFan · 05/05/2010, 06:19 pm

I'm considering what to buy using the 50% off first, but it's basically an instant purchase.

Pak-Man · 05/05/2010, 11:16 pm

I want this game and want to preorder, but I have a few questions first:

I'd heard the game was going to be episodic, but it looks like this is just a preorder for one game. Will there be a season pass available later on? If so, will people who bought this get to upgrade on the cheap? Will there be a collector's DVD available?

In a nutshell, I want to be sure that after I preorder, Telltale doesn't come along with a way better preorder offer for a season set wiith collector's DVD. It doesn't SOUND like a very Telltale thing to do, but this is a unique game for them...

You heard...somewhat wrong. Puzzle Agent is part of Telltale's new "Pilot Program", where they'll make one game that is more "risky" to produce. This game, for example, uses a different gameplay mechanic and a license that very few people know about.

So, what you're pre-ordering is a "pilot episode", meant to test the waters to see if there's interest in the game. If this one does well, we might get an episodic series out of it. We don't know how pricing would work on the eventual season, or if the pilot will affect it or be a part of it. As of right now, there aren't plans to make more Puzzle Agent games, that's for sales and critical reception to decide.

There is not going to be a DVD for this game on its own, and it's not a series yet so we can't really know what they plan to do with the pilot.

Better deals come along all the time. For example, I pre-ordered Sam and Max Season Three for $35. Now someone can get Puzzle Agent and Season Three for less than I paid for Season Three. Still, if you're planning on getting anything else along with Puzzle Agent, the 50% off coupon is really nice.

The Highway · 05/05/2010, 11:54 pm

Need to wait for my dad to decide whether this, voodoo cards and a shot glass is worth 40.80 US simoleons, including shipping

Hassat Hunter · 05/06/2010, 12:01 pm

Difficult, difficult.

Was planning on waiting it out, but it's rather interesting with the 50% deal. Wanted to get SMI:SE after all. And more, but in those cases I have to take into account huge shipping costs to Europe, which can get more than twice of the item value, making me better wait for Free Shipping.

AAARRRGH...
