Sam & Max Season Two DVD Nears

Telltale Games announces the Sam & Max Season Two Collector's DVD will be available next month, overcoming one of the paradoxes of the typical collector's edition by offering it for the cost of shipping and handling to customers who have already purchased the Season Two downloads:

SAN RAFAEL, CA, July 23, 2008 – Interactive entertainment pioneer Telltale, Inc. is announcing that the Collector's DVD for the acclaimed game series Sam & Max Season Two is available for ordering today. Telltale has given the second season of "gaming's first sitcom" the premium boxed-set treatment that has become common for television favorites, with behind-the-scenes extras and loads of special features. Telltale is also introducing new merchandise today to celebrate the release, including a signed commemorative print, a 2-CD Season Two soundtrack, and several special bundle offers.

Sam & Max Season Two has garnered critical acclaim from numerous sources, including two Editor's Choice awards from PC Gamer and positive reviews from mainstream press ranging from the New York Times to Playboy. The series is based on comic book characters created by Eisner award-winning cartoonist Steve Purcell, who has been publishing stories starring the offbeat dog and "rabbity-thing" crime-fighting duo for over twenty years. Purcell contributed an original painting inspired by the games' events to serve as the cover for this unique DVD release.

In addition to all five games from the award-winning episodic series, which play on a PC with a DVD-ROM drive, the Season Two Collector's DVD contains hours of region-free video viewable on a PC or in any standard DVD player. Special features on the disc include game footage reels with audio commentary from the development team, the 20-minute holiday video feature "Sam & Max Nearly Save Christmas," outtakes and promotional trailers, concept art, desktop wallpapers, and an MP3 soundtrack sampler. Samples of the video content can be viewed at http://www.telltalegames.com/samandmax.

Customers who already bought the downloadable Sam & Max Season Two set from Telltale can get the Collector's DVD for just the cost of shipping and handling. For new customers, the Season Two Collector's DVD sells for $34.95 and comes with free downloadable copies of the games. The DVD is expected to start shipping in August.

The Sam and Max games are fantastic! Just don't play too many episodes right in a row and you won't get sick of them.

    I haven't finished it either, even though I think it's better than Season 1.
Exactly. It's not that it's worse, it's just that it all follows a similar pattern.

CPU upgrade? Check. Graphics upgrade? Not sure. I can wait for DX11 or grab a second 4870 now... or do both. Hmmm. Sunny

I haven't finished it either, even though I think it's better than Season 1. It's something to do with the pace, which is always just about the same, which makes the jokes feel formulaic. Somewhere in episode 3 I started to find it a bit of a slog.

I still haven't completed Season Two yet... it just hasn't grabbed me in the same way the first season did. I know other people that are the same. I think the formula loses its appeal after you've completed several episodes.

Sweet.

I haven't been doing the episodic content thing, but I bought the full first season when it came out, and I'm sure I'll do the same for the second. Very amusing games and I hear the second series solves some of the annoyances of the first.
