Which version of SMI:SE will you buy?!
I have an Xbox 360 but am fairly skeptical about downloading the special edition on the arcade. I probably will simply so it will get more money, unless the price is ridiculous. So what do the people of the ToMI forums plan on doing?

I love SoMI exactly how it is but it has to sell well before they'll remake any others...
Yay!
I'm old school and I like to have physical copies of the games if possible. I still play adventure games from companies which have been out of business more than a decade because I have original floppies or CDs.
You said that already in the name of the thread.
(need work on the back-mostly robbed from MI1!) my photoshop skills really are 3rd rate
Attachment not found.
i realised that as i posted it! my mistake, post deleted
Way to make me look like an idiot, lol!
Haha, it's fine, that's a pretty nice cover by the way, what does it say on the back?
Same text as the SoMI box- 'ear-piercing reggae music' 'eye-gouging 2d graphics' etc etc! gonna redo the back at some point with new text, all i did was add the new screenshots and a dodgy logo at the top
Awesome, you sound a lot like me. :-)
But be sure to make backups of your floppy disk game collection. They tend to degrade over time. I did this myself recently and feel a lot more secure about my collection.
EDIT: check emily's post in this thread http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9251
Alrighty.
360 version it is, then.
I just hope that doesn't become an issue and hurt the sales and the possibility of future SE remakes.
I have Steam account, but I haven't bought anything from them. I created it only because my friend told me that he had bought some strategy games with a cheap price, but once I created my account I did find out that it was just a weekend offer and the prices were considerably higher.
I rather buy directly from developer than from any 3rd party, but since that doesn't seem to be an option, I hope that it will be available in other webshops too. I would rather buy it for example from Telltale shop than from Steam, because I prefer smaller webshops which are specialized to certain types of games rather than from the Wal-Mart of the Internet gaming.
There's no resale of a game bought through Steam, INCLUDING retail games which just rubs me the wrong way. I buy a physical disc in a store, I do NOT expect that disc to then be permanently tied to an account for a DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION portal.
The minimum specifications of Steam have changed in the past to exclude the 98 and ME operating systems. What if they decide to stop supporting my operating system before I'm done using it?
Default auto-update, with no way to roll back in case of glitches caused by the updates.
They use the consumer as guinea pigs, the client "calling home" to tell Valve about my hardware and gameplay stats.
There is no alternate method of verifying Steam games than the online activation. No email to support for a code or phone number.
Plus, there's the fact that Steam is a huge third party store. With the exception of Valve itself, I'm not buying the games direct from the publisher. And with the PC games I like to play, I'm often in a position that would allow me to buy direct from the publisher rather than giving someone that didn't make the game some of the cash.
I don't see the benefit of Steam, especially when there are only one or two games that I care for on the system. Space and system resources are a commodity, I don't want to waste them on some digital watchdog if I don't have to.
Of course game piracy hurts sales and Steam does help with that, so maybe it'd balance out.
