Retail release of Season One?
The adventure site Just Adventure+ is reporting that Telltale Games and The Adventure Company will announce later this week that they will be working together to release a retail version of Sam and Max: Season One in either late August or early September.
Any truth to the report? And what do people think?

... Unless the fine folks at The Telltale Gamery And Drive-Thru Apothecary count Sunday as part of this week, like some people I know.
Will this be the same CD subscribers will be able to get?
Heh, "this week" could also be construed to be "within the next 7 days," which would be a perfectly timed announcement for the Game Developers Conference, which is next week.
Of course, now that the cat's out of the bag, they may deny/confirm it earlier than planned to halt the recurrence of rampant speculation that has been plaguing Telltale recently (speculation about Monkey Island, DS, and Xbox 360 all in one week!).
Not that I'm bitter.
Just a bit less than sober at the moment.
Okay, a little bitter.
EDIT: I'll get you yet, Brolsma!!! You've Numa-ed your last Numa!!
But that story was just a joke poking fun at all the other speculation...
I know that... but... I have no smart reply.
Let's rejoice.
From now on I'm getting my beer from Smiley Bone.
This wasn't supposed to have been announced yet, and I don't actually have all the details about how this release will be similar to / different than our own Season 1 (except that TAC's won't have a download option), but as soon as we have some info to share, we will!
TAC has a huge retail presence, so obviously this is going to be a great way to reach people who don't already know about Sam & Max: Season 1.
And the JA+ story wasn't so much an 'exclusive' as a 'leak'. huh?
Who says their version will be better?
Much too early for anyone to answer any of these types of questions - as I said, this deal wasn't even supposed to be public yet, and as far as I know none of these sorts of details are ironed out.
For now, go check the pirate webcam.
It's not a real problem. If one's a collector, he/she'll buy both versions anyway. If not, I think anyone can live with the Telltale version.
I'm MUCH more interested in knowing if the deal is for a WORLDWIDE publishing or just limited to USA. THAT's what matters to us Europeans, ahem...
500-100 Mb files?
Thats nothing these days, most demos are well over 1Gb, and a lot of patches can hit the 300-500Mb mark. Some games are 7-8Gb which can be downloaded over steam...
Anyhow back on topic, I think the plans were that telltale would post out a retail copy of the game once the series was over, to all the people who ordered the whole series. It's not a big stretch from doing that to selling it retail in the shops, although it would need to be the whole series on one disc for anyone to buy it.
I just want more children to get kicked out of high chairs.
I thought it was sex and booze?
I have to agree.
I'll never forget an article I read in a late 90's issue of Computer Gaming Magazine, where one of the journalists was complaining about some racing game taking up a Gb of hard drive space, and how he couldn't understand why it had to be so big....
How times do change, eh?
I hope what I wrote won't be detrimental to our tourist industry.
Oh I am, Jake, I am. In fact, I have the internet plugged into my eyes so I can watch the pirate grow.
For some reason, that cause me to audibly chuckle for about 20 seconds. Actually, I am currently chuckling out loud just thinking about it. Dry humor is the best humor.
For all of your Private Islands needs, you can check Private Islands Online. They are the the #1 Private Islands Resource. Casco Bay Island looks nice.
And Emily, I am glad to see that even though you seem all nice and caring on these forums, you still enjoy the subtle pleasures of inflicting slight bodily harm on America's future generations.
This may already be happening...
