That documentary is the adventure company's, not ours, so it would be up to them. I wouldn't be surprised if parts of it showed up as promotional material or something, but I don't really know anything (as many have long surmised).
drat! that documentary is mighty tempting, but it sounds like most fo the goodies are on the Season 1 Disc. I'll... just... have... to be... strong...
Well, watch it, because my "bottons" are those unclicky type where you can't tell when you push them and it drives you nuts because it makes typing really annoying.

Well, the physical "goodies" are mostly in the retail box, and Telltale seems to be releasing the more electronic related goodies. (With exception to the TellTale employee interview!)
I think that not only does the retail version have the interview, but it also has a poster, and not only that, but if you preorder it on EBgames you also get a free strategy guide! (Printed, I think) Not bad, eh? There might a couple other little extras, but that's the main stuff I think.
Cool, they have removed the link, probably means the box is ready very soon (or at least that some updates are coming up... or just that Doug likes to mess with our fragile minds)
Edit, oh and Jeremy... this sums it up quite well.
But you miss out on everything by not playing episode to episode! You should play them and visit the boards and talk about them, like we do. Which gives them valuable feedback which helps make it better, and also makes it last longer.

True but i think the whole half life 2 episode problems left me a bit distrustful of episodic release dates. I figured i would just be getting in to the game when it ended and then have a painful gap until the next release. I've been waiting around a year for hl ep 2 so far.
I've got to admit i expected much larger gaps between each sam n max episode and I'm amazed that telltale kept to the deadlines. I'll probably play each episode of season 2 when its released.
Bah, forget about Valve. They have no idea what they're doing. They would have been better off waiting a year after Half Life 2, then starting on Half Life 3. This "episode" stuff is just making them look bad, and it's not winning them a lot of friends.
The prints look fantastic... especially the booklet (how many pages does that one get?).
Oh, and please... PLEASE keep the raw-files of the covers, since I really really hate it, when subsequent releases have misaligned logos and design-elements on their covers, and the layout varies from season to season. I know, it sounds picky, but I guess that's why one of my biggest hobbies are custom covers.
Haha I know! I'm extremely picky as well about that sort of thing. I'll try my hardest. One potential problem is that season 2 might not be printed at the same print house as season 1 (I'm not meaning to imply any problems with where we're printing season 1, but, you know, who knows what will happen in a year?), and every place has slightly different specs. That said, yes, its annoying as heck when places try to do what is allegedly a "series" of cases, but they dont actually match up at all.
Truth be told, if I get to design a Telltale Season Two cover, I won't be making it identical to the season 1 cover except with a swapped out cover image. I really like what Adult Swim does with their cases, where they're all totally different looking, but all also compliment each other when lined up together on a shelf. I'd like to definitely keep the badge with the season number on the spine, and the same positioning of the words "sam and max" on the spine as well, but beyond that, I'd like to mix it up. I dont like how at a glance you can't tell which Simpson's season is which, or even which CSI video game is which. You can tell Space Ghost Vol. 1 from Space Ghost Vol. 2 immediately, though.
The booklet is very small (just a single folded sheet, a quick start guide), but we put a lot of work into making it look as fun and true to Sam & Max as we possibly could. There are a few more Season One package related announcements on the way as well, so stay tuned.
Just got an e-mail saying the DVD is back-ordered? I'm hoping this means that the DVD is ready for ordering, but not yet ready for shipping...
That's what it means. The DVD, Soundtrack, and Case File are being made and won't be ready to ship until later in July. The good news is that they will be ready all at the same time. It was stated in another thread somewhere.
I have couple of questions about the season 1 dvd. 1. Will it have better sound quality than the downloaded episodes? 2. I bought all the episodes one by one, can i still get the DVD? (I screwed up the season orders, that's why i didn't buy the season as a whole)

Mthed, Born to be mild.
Sound quality will be the same, although some minor bug fixes will be on the disk, which will also be coming to the download versions. And another guy in another topic bought the games like you did and he had to email someone. Not sure who though.
Hah that would be awesome, though we're being pretty modest with how this is built, as it really is a bonus disc to augment (and archive) people's downloadable episodes.
The whole point of buying the season from Telltale is so you can get to play the episodes as they come out, and be involved in the story once a month as it unfolds. The disc is nice to have on a shelf, and nice for peace of mind, (and we're having fun making it) but it's never been the focus of anything.
Could have fooled me. That's a lot of stuff being tossed on that disc. It looks very nice.
I do agree that those that waited deprived themselves of a big part of the fun, which is getting an episode each month. That's the fault of companies like Ritual and Valve that have convinced everyone that episodic gaming is a series of cliffhangers with endless stretches between episodes.

Approximately the same time. They're being made in different places (and the case files actually have to be stuffed by hand ) so they might not all come out on the same day, but late July should be about right for all three.
The case files have to be stuffed by hand? That makes them even more special. You spoil us. You really do. Can't even remember the last time I got a half-decent manual, let alone feelies

Huzzah!

I bought the whole collection back then and always wanted the disc go with..
Dont tell me I miss the opportunity.. plz, just got back from my "out of country" experiences..
I rather foolishly decided that i would not play any of the games until my shiny cd tuirns up, it's getting harder to resist.
I've got to admit i expected much larger gaps between each sam n max episode and I'm amazed that telltale kept to the deadlines. I'll probably play each episode of season 2 when its released.
Agreed, even if I see all of the extra content online, I'll still "buy" the DVD just to have the artwork.

I just hope they don't stuff them right after lunch. Of course, a one of a kind grease stain might be collectible one day.
