Everything You Need to Know About the JP Delay
Since the release discussion threads have gotten long and difficult to slog through, here is everything you need to know:
Q: Why is JP being delayed?
A: We'll be honest, even the mods don't know that stuff. What we DO know is that this decision was made with the utmost desire to please the fans, hoping to release it better than before.
Q: When's the release?
A: Fall '11
Q: Console release?
A: Also, Fall '11. Release is simultaneous. Note that the original console release was intended to be Fall '11, so the console release will see no change in timeframe.
Q: I don't want a refund. I just want the game.
A: It's difficult to do this case by case. Everyone gets a refund.
Q: How do I get my refund/free game coupon?
A: Keep an eye on your email. (Check your spambox, too)
Q: Is it one or the other?
A: No. You get a FULL REFUND for JP AND a voucher good for any full Telltale season or a single game- your choice on what to use the voucher on.
Q: What can I use the free game coupon on?
A: Any full TT game, current or FUTURE. Yes, THIS INCLUDES JP, FABLES, OR ANY OTHER NOT-YET-RELEASED TITLE. The free game coupon does not expire. Anyone who preordered JP can use the coupon to get it free of charge.
Q: Long story short- I preordered JP. I get my $30 returned AND a voucher. I can then turn around and use that voucher to buy JP- so I can get JP for free?
A: So long as you use the voucher for JP, yes.
Q: Insider Forum?
A: Will remain open.
Q: New preorders?
A: TT will let you know when preorders will start again.

well, that's nice.
2) Can we expect more media in the next few months?
3) What kind of things can we expect from the delay? (Better graphics, in-game mobility, etc.)?
4) What do you call a blind dinosaur?
Seriously appreciate the way Telltale is handling the situation with a refund (and free game) despite the disappointment of a delay. Here's hoping for an amazing Jurassic Park game.
The only one I can answer is #4- me! I'm a blind dinosaur! (If by " blind dinosaur" you mean "someone old who has to type with a braille keyboard".
Correct. The game is simply delayed and in no way, shape, or form does this mean cancellation at all. You will be playing Jurassic Park this fall.
You'll be seeing more of the game coming up, especially as we lead into E3 and beyond.
And besides, it's better that they are taking their time with it. Look at BTTF, we don't want that kind of rushed thing, right? (It's not a criticism, only an observation). I just hope that they are working on more episodes than just the first one.
Let's wait and see.
You can get the refund, then use the voucher to re-purchase the game when it's available in the store again, effectively getting you the game for free. Or you can use the voucher for another Telltale game, and buy JP again if you choose to do so.
You won't need to re-purchase if you don't want to. The voucher we give you will be able to be used on Jurassic Park when we make it available for purchase again.
2) Which consoles is the game being released for? Is Wii completely out of the question?
Alan, when will this voucher be available, and are we really getting a full refund and the voucher to purchase the entire game??
Ive played all your other games (Except Monkey Island. But im not to into swashbuckling games lol) And now i can get a free game? Thank you but ive played EACH one. Will we have the choice to keep the game and not forced into the refund. Cause its not right to work hard for a game you really want and then gave the bird and loose it. Im not in a cheery mood about this. And id like to know MORE about this case. Cause this is making me angry.
if you pre-ordered the first time, you'll remain with access
What? There will be 2 codes? 1 for JP and 1 for the free game?
Yes.
Everyone gets a refund automatically, and you'll still have access to the Insider forum.
You'll be able to use your free game voucher on any full season game, including Jurassic Park when we make it available for purchase again. The voucher will not expire.
So if i use the code on 1 game. Then im screwed? Meaning no more JP?
They are giving you your money back...and the voucher can be used to get JP for free if you want when they put it back up for sale... basically, you're getting $30 in your pocket plus the game then.
One voucher code, plus a refund for the pre-order.
But i dont know how will this work. So i loose JP. And have 1 code for a free game OR JP. I was looking forward to this. But now i want Monkey Island. But i dont want to give up JP.
Voucher is good for all five episodes of JP
Im not sure how they can afford this, it sounds great right now, but something must have gone seriously south of the hell border for them to be willing to give up all the money and give out free games.
Ok Ok. So i guess ill use the refund money on Monkey Island. And the code on JP.
If we use the voucher thing on JP when it becomes available again, do we get all of the pre-order perks still (like the end-of-season DVD) or do we have to re-pre-order it for that?
In that case, buy Monkey Island and use your voucher on JP... or use your voucher on Monkey Island and buy JP when it's available again in the store. Up to you... but either way, you don't have to "lose" JP.
Ok. Refund money on Monkey Island. Code on JP. Now im a little happier.
What "work" did you do?
It will be available soon via email.
I work as a cashier at Best Buy. I had to do some overnight shifts just to get some cash for it.
