I just read a news post on the internet about Telltale and sony the BTTF game being put on a PS3 disc in October and-I-quoit from joystiq.com:
"Taking a cue from the subject matter of Back to the Future: The Game, Telltale and Sony are going to begin selling the episodic adventure game in an old-fashioned manner: boxed copies in stores. Telltale has 'expanded' its publishing agreement with Sony to include retail games, the first of which will be Back to the Future. The disc version will be released this October, at the same $19.99 price point as the digital version."

I just read a news post on the internet about Telltale and sony the BTTF game being put on a PS3 disc in October [...]
All I want to know is: Is it true or is it just a rumor giving false hope to hard core BTTF fans like me?
It's broadly true, Telltale announced the BTTF PS3 disc on the blog yesterday. Don't know about the October claim though - the blog post says they're targeted for a "Holiday 2011 release".

I am looking to buy the deluxe dvd release and since i am doing it through pay pal when i went to do check out i entered the amount for the total and now says it is processing to take it from my account, does this mean i will have to re-do the purchase process once it is done processing my money transfer? The reason i ask is because i don't want to miss out on getting this edition

Good enough for me! I'm just happy that it's true!

I have exactly the same cart
(and I'm going to wait too, not interested in an 8 bucks disccount and then $15 shipping...)
Now I miss that free shipping code from the preorder forum that I didn't use...
Now that BttF has wound down, newcomers probably remember that they are entitled to a free disc. Here's a quick FAQ on how you get it:
1. Make sure you bought it directly from Telltale. Only PC/Mac pruchases from Telltale's store qualify. iPad, PS3 and third party sites do not get a free disc.
2. Wait. Telltale always adds bonus content to their discs, so it actually takes some time before they even put up the pre-orders.
3. Pre-order. This gives Telltale a good idea how many discs need to be pressed. If you don't pre-order, you'll still get your disc, but it will take more time. Telltale will put up a blog post when they are available.
4. Pay for shipping. The discs are free, but you will still have to pay for shipping. If you are not in the US or Canada, and you want a bunch of things from Telltale, it may be cheaper to have everything shipped at once, so keep this in mind, too.
5. More waiting!
6. Get your disc. Hug it and be nice to it. It won't bite, I promise.
[highlight]UPDATE FROM ALAN:[/highlight]
According to the BTTF game dvd cover trailer; it says that it will be available in September, but when will it ship to us within that month
I see that the Deluxe Edition will have an initial run of only 2500 copies. With the word initial, that says to me that there will/may be more made in the future (no pun intended). Having already owned the game, I WANT to get the Deluxe Edition DVD. However, I have an issue. Recently, I've started to come under some hard financial times to the point where 19.99 (even without the high shipping costs) may be too much. So my main question is, how long will the "DVD upgrade offer" last? Will I be able to wait until the next manufacturing run when hopefully I'll be under better times? Or will the "upgrade offer" eventually end?

If there is another manufacturing run you'll totally still be able to do the upgrade.
As an aside, it appears that when you buy the Deluxe (might also apply to Collectors, not sure), you get all of the games for download immediately. That makes it a better deal, since you don't have to wait.
Unless something is quirky on my account anyway. I purposely did not buy the downloads after the Episode 1/Blu-ray debacle.

That's the case with all of Telltale's games--if you buy the DVD, you also get the episodes to download in your account.
That's the case with all of Telltale's games--if you buy the DVD, you also get the episodes to download in your account.
Since I don't see anywhere on the DVD ad that such is inclusive of the purchase, one would think that TellTale would be smart enough to market it to those who have never touched, or plan to touch, any of their other games and thus would never have known this to be the case.
I would also, if in their shoes, offer the console version as an alternate download when buying the DVD...and yes, they could do that, with a unique code for the PSN Store in your account. Don't know how much easier the console versions would be to control, and I think the Mac version on max res is preferred in my individual case, but more choice isn't a bad thing. Doing so would allow users to have the game on any platform they choose.
I've never played a DVD Version of a game from Telltale. Does the disc have separate installers for the episodes (You install the episodes one at a time, like the downloadable version), or are all 5 episodes installed at one time with 1 large installer?
All 5 (or 6 for S&M Season 1) are installed at the same time, and use one launcher.
That applies to the Windows versions. There's no launcher with the Mac versions -- the TOMI and Devil's Playhouse DVDs install separate applications, one for each episode.
I'm not sure if this question has been ask before in this thread or in any other part of the forums (if it has, then this post can be deleted), anyway, here's my qustion:
How will the "Back to the Future: The Game" Collector's and Super Deluxe Editions be sent to international customers and would the "Tracking" option be applied to all orders from outside the US, to ensure that the DVD reaches its destination safely.
I'm from Italy,when i ordered the Collector it says me (BAckorder),when i will receiv it?
The DVD hasn't been released yet (it will be before the end of the month, but no exact date has been announced).
You should receive an e-mail when it ships (to let you know that it was shipped) and from past experiences, you should receive it 2 to 6 weeks thereafter.
Just a quick update, rather than the Deluxe Edition's cover being a sleeve, similar to the Tales of Monkey Island Deluxe Edition, it is a reversible slip cover that you can switch back and forth between the Deluxe (2 Docs) cover and the regular (Just Marty) cover.
The regular edition's slip cover is not reversible.

Whoa!!! Pretty Creative! Can't wait to get mine! Any idea on how close to shipping day we are, Alan?

So is the Deluxe edition going to come in some sort of designed box to contain all the goodies?
Here's a good idea, why don't we completely ignore the post before ours saying that it hasn't quite shipped yet and hold out some false hope!
<facepalm>
Ekhm, I had only one minute before I went out, and I've just posted it, I didn't notice previous answer. Sorry if it's really big problem for you It happens, it doesn't mean that I do it every time
Can Alan or someone from the team please let us know how many Deluxe Editions are left? I may not be able to get it for a while, but I don't want to miss out on it completely. Please let me know if I should get it right now (going like hotcakes) or if I can probably wait a couple months. Thanks.

Significantly more than half of the Deluxe Editions of Back to the Future: The Game have been sold.
I thought they would sell instantly.... new BTTF memoriblia. In the future I forsee these going for big money on Ebay to future fans who probaly arn't even born yet.

At the current rate we should be out of them by the end of the month.

Just bet on the end of the month. That's usually how things end up going around here, even if they want it out earlier.

That's the case with all of Telltale's games--if you buy the DVD, you also get the episodes to download in your account.
So the upgrade pricing would never, ever "expire" for lack of better words, right?

... but we should clarify that the games are still separate episodes, not at all stitched together.
