I bet march, because TT will probably want to fit 2 series in this year but if it was released earlier, then tt should have given us more information by now.
I'm guessing April.. Apparently Lucasarts have a big announcement coming in April.. I'm hoping that's Sam & Max:Hit the Road SE and then we get season 3 to coincide.. wishful thinking? Perhaps but a fan can always hope..
I said April, just a guess... March, April, May all sound plausible to me. Of course I have no clue how far the game is so I'm not holding my breath, maybe it will be released later than that.
I really want to say March 3rd to coincide with Sam's birthday but it also references to the date the Freelance Police was canceled by LucasArts. So I'll just stick with March in general.
I saw August. S3 will be competed in time for xmas sale on steam, so e5 will be in december, e4 in november, e3in octover e2 in septenber e1 in august
Except I don't think a game that had JUST came out (i.e. the full season collection) would instantly go into a sale. It's not exactly good business practice. You're also assuming it'll be 5 episodes (unless that's been confirmed?)
Anyway, I said May. Just a random guess, as good as any really except January, since it's a bit obvious it's not coming right now.

It's just a random joke from a thread I don't remember.
I put March, because I'm working now, so, I'll have time in march
All we have to go off is a few shreds of concept art and a mysterious voice hinting at some fairly large overhauls in the gameplay mechanics, so I would expect it to be quite some time away. It's pointless to speculate beyond 'a good long while" however until TellTale gives us a bit more info, particularly on the technology side.
*rocks backwards and forwards in chair fantasizing over new possibilities*
MAYBE EVEN A NEW ENGINE! (then again, maybe not)
Well... You know what? If it does come out in February, I'll be even glad to hand over the win to you
And I'll be happy to accept it, unless of course it's four cheese lasagna, in which case you can keep it.
Actually, I wonder what the Telltales are up to? They were working on S&M 3 early last year before ToMI took over, and I'm sure they kept some kind of crew working on it in the background. I wonder what they're planning?
PAX East is happening pretty soon, at the end of March. I think Telltale is going to be there, and it would be a perfect opportunity for them to announce their next series. Looking at how they announced Monkey Island, I'd guess they'll announce it one month before the actual release, putting the start of Sam & Max in April. If they don't announce Sam & Max 2010 at PAX, I'd guess they will do so earlier. After all, they would probably want something new to show off over there.
All this is pure speculation of course. Whatever happens, I don't think we have that long of a wait ahead of us.
That's actually a good point. It'd be kind of cool to announce more about Sam and Max at PAX East since the duo are supposed to live on the east coast. Not that I'm saying Boston is right next door to New York or something, but, you know, they are closer than New York and San Rafael.

Is that a fact? I mean, didn't they move right onto Tales when the Wallace & Gromit season was shaping up?
Also, Jake made a comment that made me think that Chuck was already heavily engaged in preparing S&M when Tales was announced. There were some comments about Jared working on the music, too. So theoretically, the season's been in the making for more than half a year, which means they may start releasing episodes any moment now. Wow!
I had a dream that it didn't come out until August. Take what you will from that. Could be a Max-induced psychic vision, could just be..could just be me. I dunno. We'll see.
Another opportunity for Telltale to officially announce Sam & Max: Microsoft's X10-event that they will be holding in San Francisco (also known as the home of Telltale) next month (link:http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/26950/Microsoft_Resurrects_X_Press_Expo_With_X10_Next_Month.php).
Of course, that would mean that Sam & Max will be on Xbox, but that's not impossible. Strong Bad was on WiiWare, Wallace on Xbox Live, Monkey Island on WiiWare again, so maybe it's time to go back to the Xbox this time? If my 'they'll announce it one month before release'-theory is true, this will put the release of season 3 in March. Of course, I think the chances that they'll announce/show it at Pax East are a bit higher, but I enjoy thinking way too much about stuff like this.
Okay, my last theory, and then I'll stop: Like someone in another topic mentioned, Telltale will be at the Macworld Expo on february 11th. No doubt to announce that some of their older titles will be compatible with Mac, but perhaps also to show off Sam & Max? That would put the release in March, yadda yadda yadda. I'll stop now.

I give it around march or april honestly..I hope we can get pre orders soon though.

Yes, TTG, I hope you're reading this and then have it come out in February so we can all be winners. But mostly me since I guessed February.
Though, febulus would be awesome

At the moment, I'm fine with waiting a bit, but I'd like to pre-order soon. I've even got $50 set aside already lol.

Me likes idea!
March is a better bet, though. . . .

I thought this part was pretty interesting:
Achievements in the pc versions of the games? Awesome!
(voted & hoping for Feb. though)
