    As far as I know, you give them your credit card info, they get the money from it, and when it's all... fine, you get a thing to download it. But that's only a guess; I bought it for the Wii (Wii points bought form a store). But I've never bought anything online, so I wouldn't know.

    Hi Strong Bad Fan. Hi Mom!

    Telltale's PC offerings are available as free demos that you can then unlock once you purchase them. When you download the demo, you're actually downloading the full game, so when you buy it, you will simply get a special serial number code that lets you play the full version of the game. These codes will be saved in your account, in the My Purchases section. You'll be able to re-download the games whenever you need to from that page as well.

    If you purchase the whole season of Strong Bad, you'll get an email from us every month that the series runs, reminding you to grab the next episode the day it's released. You don't have to grab it right away, though; we just like giving people a heads-up. At the end of the season, we will make a special DVD copy available (which feature extras like commentary and behind-the-scenes stuff) to season subscribers free of charge, minus shipping.

    Does that help?

    Does that help?

    How It Works

    A simple guide by Rather Dashing

    You are given a few ways to pay. You can pay by putting in information for your credit card, or paying through PayPal. Paypal is a secure system you can pay through that widely trusted to handle money in online transactions. A Paypal account can be linked to a bank account or credit card, and it makes payment very easy and secure. In both cases, though, you are pretty safe. Telltale is a legitimate company and gets no more information than a brick and mortar store does when they swipe the card in a machine.

    If you buy a single game, then a download link will be put on your "My Telltale" account page. From that, you can download the game you bought. If you by a season, every currently released episode(at the moment, just episode 1) will be put on your My Telltale page, and all future episodes of the season will be automatically updated to that page for you to download.

    At the end of the season, you can pay about $5 shipping(if you are in the US) for the DVD that will also have the whole season on it, plus hours of extra features. Shipping can be higher if you're in another country, or you add other things onto your order that weigh more.

    The season subscription definitely includes receiving the games on disc for the cost of shipping. David misspoke. Go easy on him, he's new guy. :)

    Sorry about that, I was not fully informed on the subject, but Jake has corrected me via instant message. We're definitely doing it. Editing my post now.
