They put stuff in big boxes because they used to put things in little paper sleeves which caused everything to get bent and damaged. We asked them to stop that, so instead things started arriving in ridiculous huge boxes. Oh well!
That explains the last two sketchbooks coming in boxes that could easily fit a bulk order of 20!! That's one mystery I don't have to worry about now.
Yay! My Disk, Soundtrack, and Case File all arrived! Great job Telltale! I love the case file, sure it's just novelty, but it's still awesome. I'm watching the videos on the Disk right now. One thing I was wondering though, it may be a bit of a spoiler to those who are extremely spoiler paranoid so just in case:
The "guide" that came with the disk was only two pages (a single page folded in half), but the bottoms of the pages say "Page 22" and "Page 23". As far as I can tell, this is just meant as a kind of joke since the guide seems complete (except that it's missing page 24 :P), but I just wanted to make sure that I'm not missing something.
BTW, my stuff came in a bubble envelope, no hugemoungous box for me. Plus the box for the disk was slightly warped by sitting in the 100 degree Georgia weather (110 degree w/ heat index I believe). Luckily the disk is fine and the box isn't too warped. Everything else is amazing.

I just got the shipment with the disc, "Ode to the stuff in the sink" and the Max & Crossbones t-shirt. It took approximately three weeks to get here, but it seems it was well worth the wait. :cool:
And I have to say, Dave Grossman is an excellent poet. I have never before come across poetry that actually makes me laugh out loud, but kudos to him and his poetry for being the first!

I do live in that box...
I'm that bum who lives on the street outside your house. You know? The one you threatened with a shotgun that one time. But I forgive you now, it is quite a high quality box.
Finally got my DVD (w/ sketchbook 1, soundtrack, case file and hat) today! Whoo!
But not so whoo: When I play the disc in my Sony Psyc DVP-PQ1 DVD player the sound for all the videos plays weird. With a lot of pauses. If I had to describe it, it sounds kinda like a skipping CD or a bad video download. And it happens only when watching the videos. All the music and sounds on menu and on the Spoiler Warning/Comments made on disc is not nessisarily(sp?) our opinion screens play fine.
I have no problems playing any other DVDs on it and I even tried cleaning the player. The disc plays fine on my PS2 tho.
On my Sony player there is ~1 second of silence before the audio picks up, so it always cuts off the beginning of the music on a track. We tested the disc on a variety of players and did our best to make it work as well as possible, but there are still some weirdnesses that we couldn't control.
At least you have the PS2 as an option. I'm glad it plays well for you there.
WOOHOO,Finally My DVD was dispatched at the weekend, I cant Wait to view it. However now I still have to wait possibly upto 2-3 weeks until it reaches England though, Oh Well Good things come to those to wait I suppose.
Mine arrived at 7:30 this morning! whooo.
The newpaper clipping is amusing, love it guys.
Still haven't had a chance to play with the dvd, maybe later this afternoon.
i got mine yesterday, just as i expected: i go on a long car trip, want to take the soundtrack with me and it arrives mere hours after i've started - but, hey, at least i can now just listen to it without having to concentrate on anything else. it sounds brilliant. the file case is just sweet. you guys are awesome. thank you!
The soundtrack is amazing. I've noticed a few differences between the tracks released and how they are on the soundtrack. Quiet on the set is alot longer and some tracks actually end instead of fading out. I've also noticed some tunes that were taken out of HTR and used in some places. I love it!

That might probably be explained by the fact that they had more time, to my knowledge.
Most of the same concepts are up at Summer of Sam & Max. (The retail version does not come with printed concept art; it's on the DVD.)
The biggest thing the retail version has that Telltale's does not is the poster and the behind the scenes video (parts of which TAC has released online). On the flip side, our DVD has stuff that TAC's does not, like the commentaries and the Steve Purcell cover... We just wanted to make sure that everyone got something cool and special, no matter which version they bought.
