Jurassic Park to be released near-simultaneously on Disc & Digital?
“Our plan is to bring these titles to the UK and Europe in the fall of this year,”
“We still see retail as an important part of our business – we love that we can deliver these video games to consumers who don’t or can’t purchase them digitally.”
“With episodic games, it’s difficult to launch simultaneously at digital and at retail,”
“Our intent is to get there, and with Jurassic Park that window will be much shorter.” TT's Publishing VP - James Lamorticelli
Article also stated they are attempting to find a publishing partner to do this, so it's still TBD. Maybe E3 will reveal more?

So does this mean 360 will get all the episodes before the PC/PS3 (With an episodic release)?
In that case, Ill just rent it on 360.
This actually is a stupid thing for telltale to do. Why wait for episodic release on PC when I can get the 360 version now?
Likely a case of Microsoft's money hatting. Wouldn't be the first time.
Just gonna get it on other ways.....
If you wanna play with us, telltale, I'm in!
Any of you know if this is possible?. but if only going out in download format for PSNetwork do not think buying. Sorry.
"Look for the five episodes to start appearing on the PSN, PC, and Mac later this year while the Xbox 360 will be treated to a retail release. As for whether or not the PS3 will see a retail release, there isn't a final determination on it yet, but it most likely won't be happening. Telltale promises the episodes will be released consecutively in a timely manner so there won't be too much lag in the action." - Neoseeker
Considering that go on sale on disc for PC and XBOX 360, you may also for PS3, I hope.
Jurassic Park is an interesting title for many people, is an emblem and I think that Telltale can get many benefits and greater recognition by the public on this company you can get if you sold on disc for all platforms.
So please Telltale. Release Jurassic Park: The Game for PS3 in disc.
This whole playing favorites crap this generation doesn't fly with me. Eidos did it with Tomb Raider and I completely boycotted Guardian of Light. I'll be buying this next Tomb Raider game used so Eidos doesn't see a cent from me.
Don't give either console special treatment Telltale, put the game on disc for both.
Until we're told differently, that's how I'm expecting it.
The thing is though, they have never done that before.
Why even call it "episodic" when it isnt episodic at all?
When you buy a TV series on DVD, it's still made up of individual episodes, even though you get them all at once.
True, but then they were episodes that aired at their own times and not all at once. Same goes with telltale's DVDs, where as if this is true, then the game really isnt episodic since there were never any episodes to begin with, just chapters or ideal save and quit points.
That's basically sabotaging their PC and PS3 market in favor of the 360. Madness.
So what else is new :P
