No Poster / extras with season1 DVD in Sweden
I bought the SamnMax DVD today (in Stockholm - Sweden) and was gutted to open it and find no bonus material as promised on the box - so no Steve Purcell goodies. I took it back to the shop (GAME) and got a refund - then tried in EB Games instead - and it was the same story there - none of their copies come with the bonus material - although it is promised on the DVD casing. As its the 1st day of the box versions release in Sweden - perhaps the publishers messed up in some way. What I'd like to know is if there is any intention of launching the game in Europe (or Sweden) with the Bonus material included - if so - how where do I get it from? - and wonder if any other Europeans have similar problems - if so feel free to comment here - so as we can communicate this to Telltale et all.

To be clear - are the bonus materials (i.e. trailers, behind the scenes video, concept art, etc.) included on the DVD? The only physical thing that should be in there is a poster. I know the box makes it look like there are sheets of concept art included, but those are electronic on the disc. Please let us know if it's just the poster that's missing or if you don't have any extras on the DVD, either.
I believe that everything else (concept artwork, trailers etc) is included on the disc, correct? I'll have a look tonight and make sure it is there...
i believe this is due to laziness i suggest emailing jowood and complaining due to false advertising contact page
I may complain to JoWood and see what they've got to say (and possibly try and send it back to Play.com). It's not really a big deal, but still, gotta think about principle!
Just out of interest, where could I purchase the 'proper' version? I've only just ordered some stuff from Telltale (signed print & teeshirt) and don't really want to pay the shipping charges again...are there any UK suppliers that stock the correct version of the game (ie, different packaging, poster included etc)?
you could try and cancel your order by contacting support if it hasn't been dispatched no uk suppliers stock telltales version but it is worth it and you could order the poster print as well if you particularly want a print
My order has already shipped so it's too late. I reckon I'll just wait until Season 2 is released in physical format, then just order both seasons direct from Telltale.
the telltale version consists of a dvd with the six episodes and some bonus content, a two-page booklet and the dvd case itself. the retail version has bonus content on the disc as well, but different from the telltale disc and is supposed to have a poster included. right?
the retail has a 3d-rendered artwork on the cover, whille the telltale disc features a more stylish image drawn by steve purcell.
So, it seems that the American (DreamCatcher) version includes the poster, whereas the European (JoWood) version doesn't. Well, like I said, I'll check the disc when I get home from work and make sure all the bonus content is there, then send a complaint email to JoWood...
I suggest everyone else in this situation does the same. The more complaints JoWood get, the more inclined they'll be to sort it out (either by offering the poster, FOC to anyone that didn't receive it (pretty unlikely), or reprint the box art and remove the 'includes full-sized poster' comment).
I have been in touch with JoWood and learned that an early production run of the European release did not include the poster. This was accidental and they are going to rectify it for the customers who were affected. When I hear back from them who you guys should contact about the missing poster, I will post the information here.
It sounded like just the first production run had this problem, but it might be worth contacting Markus at JoWood to ask when they expect stores to have the version with the poster in stock.
Consider yourself lucky. I find those big boxes a bummer to store, as my games rack only holds DVD cases.
It does, I saw it in Gamestation on Monday.
I checked in Gamestation again earlier and it's DVD Cased. I try to spend as little time in that shop as possible so I didn't really get a proper look first time round >_<.
its better than Game at least
the best uk chain games shop was special reserve but they went bust a few years back pity they were the only ones to do good prices all the time and one of the first to stock pre-owned games
DAMN YOU GAME
correct all the EB's in the UK became GAME
any other UK people remember special reserve
*pats Emily on the head*
I've been waiting for an answer since monday.
EDIT: Looks like my poster is on the way. :-)
I too didn't get the poster and have just now emailed JoWood.
I didn't receive a reply either. I have received nothing in the post, nor a confirmation email. To anyone who received their posters after emailing JoWood, did you get something? If not, I shall email again. And again. And again!
Thank god its not just me then.
