Physical release?
Hey all,
I've had a reasonable search around the forum and I couldn't find this, although I may have missed it. I'm wondering when the season DVD for tales of monkey island comes out?
The reason I ask is that downloading simply isn't an option for me, owing to quite restrictive download limits in this backwater. We get 14 or 20 gigabytes a month between 4 of us, and it doesn't last. This account has already been shaped (to modem speed) for a week.
So I'm wondering when the season DVD(s) is/are being released by Telltale? Also what would be the shipping costs to Australia?

If you want to check shipping costs, just plug your info into an order for another game and see what they'd charger you.
If you can't wait, why don't you take a USB stick to a friends house and download the series onto that using their internet connection? You can then take it off the USB, onto your computer, install, then log-in/type in the product code, and you's be all set.
I haven't purchased it yet as I wasn't sure if a physical copy was even going to be made, and I wanted to get it shipped afterwards regardless of whether I downloaded it or not. I know now it is, so now the question I need to ask myself is should I wait or try to find another way to download it. Decisions, decisions.
Many libraries have music on CD, films on DVD, and even PC and console videogames!!
O tempora o mores.
Of course you'll have to pay again S&H for the real DVD but that's another story.
That way the only bandwidth you'll use is the traffic from the activation process (A lot less than the gigabyte you have to download otherwise)
Actually it's the same here, the quota being 15 GB. Buuuut I download the episodes anyway...
The deal is after I exceed this limit, my speed will be reduced (from 8mbit to 512kbit) until the month ends. But what I'm thankful is they're not that hardworking over there. I download, like, 30-40 GB after 20th of a month and there are no speed reductions. You may try that either. Hold yourselves till end of a month and download ANYTHING you want.
My wife worked at a library for many years and it had all these things.
Edit: Public libraries aren't an option around here, the local one has already barred most download sites because of people in my situation doing the same thing.
We consistently hit the cap around the 20th of each month, and about half of that usage is work related stuff. When we use not to hit the cap, I used to download like crazy for the last 3 days, but I think everyone does it now, as the (unshaped) speeds across the network are rubbish on the last few days of every calendar month.
The shaped speed I get is considerably less than 512kbits. I tested it just then at about 55 (so 64 in practice) which is pretty much unusable. It took over a minute for this page to load. As there are a few of us hooked up to the same connection, downloading at that speed makes general internet surfing and email impossible, so I refrain unless nobody else is around.
