MI2:SE is available for pre-purchase on Steam. Also, as a bonus, those who don't own SMI:SE get it for free if you pre-purchase MI2:SE before it launches on the 7th.
£6.99 really is a steal, considering I havn't yet bought Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition, and I get that included free with my pre-order (currently downloading now).
Two Monkey Island games at £3.50 each..? Best hour's wage I've ever spent.
I knew holding off buying MI:1 SE was a good idea...
Has anyone established whether it'll be available through Telltale yet? And if so, will it be in the very near future, or would we have to wait a year? I'd really rather buy from Telltale over Steam, but on the other hand -- I won't be able to hold off for very long!
Purchased as well. If LA had been good enough to let us know if we'd ever get a disc I would have waited but since they won't tell us anything I'm getting it NOW. :P
There is no news whatsoever about MI2:SE coming to the Telltale store. It most likely will be postponed to a much later date as with the first remake. It was never listed on the list of consoles it would be coming out on in the initial press release.
I hope it is released somewhere other than Steam. I wont buy it from steam, MI:SE was released on Direct2Drive, but limited to the US only. I didn't buy it until it appeared in the Telltale Store.
Although MI:LCR was my favourite Monkey Island game ever, I wont buy it under the same conditions.
Why all the hate for Steam? I use it for my downloadable games (minus the ones that you can get from the company themselves, like Telltale) and I see nothing wrong with it. Heck, I would go as far to say that it's the most efficient way to play/download games. That's why I preordered on the spot.
I don't have a problem with steam, I have my Half-Life games, Team Fortress 2 and Portal on there.
I just don't want to buy Monkey Island there, I much rather want to keep my Monkey Islands in one place, if it's possible.
I'm fairly sure that if the game would be available elsewhere, we'd know by now. You should at the very least treat it as being a timed exclusive on Steam. I'm sure it'll turn up on here eventually, like the first SE did.

I guess I just don't mind where they're stored, as long as I have a desktop shortcut for it.
I finally realised what was bothering me about the Special Edition cover; I don't mind Guybrush's face, LeChuck's beard or the monkey; it's Lechuck's EYES! He has PUPILS! LeChuck has NEVER had pupils! Simply painting over the pupils in MS Paint makes it look much much better IMO.

Zombie LeChuck has pupils. I think you need to look at the original artwork again.

Regarding the pupils: the actual model of LeChuck in-game in the MI2 SE apparently does NOT have them. But the painting of LeChuck on the SE cover art does.
Bought my copy yesterday evening, it's my favourite Monkey Island just ahead of Curse, and with new graphics, voices, fantastic sound and flawless running on my PC it's well worth the £6.99 let alone the added commentary and ingame artwork

I need to know whether to get some more crappy MS points or not..
...and we thought the 1st SE was too cheap...
...we're gonna feel like we stole this one!
Easiest £6.99 I've ever handed over!
It's really coming......
:guybrush:

It'll be available at 6:00pm in British Time according to Steam.
Work that out for your own locations on your own...
Well, the download'll be huge, and my connection'll be crappy, so I'll just leave it to go overnight and play it on Thursday all day...
UPDATE: On the pre-order page it says "the game will unlock in approximately 1 week, 6 days, 11 hours". That's about 4am on the 8th in Australia!
Yes, I got confused with the release date of the first game. I've fixed it now.

Hope it's available at the Telltale store soon!

Im the same il just wait till near the time cos TTG might do a pre order deal and I allready have MI 1 SE so there deal might be better XP
Just pulled this off of the PSN's MI2 page. Makes a pretty nice wallpaper!
13 DAYS TO GO!!!
:winslow:
I prefer Steve Purcell's original.:p
Zombie LeChuck has pupils. I think you need to look at the original artwork again.
EDIT: Did it. Cancellation request email'd.
One of the worse endings to other wise good games. I'll never forgive Ron.
Way to go champ, we stand by you...
