| @1 yea they don't have a publisher in the eu to push this stuff, problem with jurassic park though is that the game sucked and people knew it, all people here about this is good things so I assume it will come to eu shortly after |

Rip off.
You're pretty much paying $40 for them to add a different cover to the same compendium you can buy on Amazon brand new for around $30.
I'm usually all over collectors editions but this is nothing more than a repackaging and a price hike. Save your money, get the standard edition and buy the compendiums separately. That way you'll have all the matching covers too. |

@5 odds are really against it as do you ever remember a arcade release on a disc getting its own achievements.
Its never happened and probable never will, as even doom 3 took 400 points off the game due to having doom 1 and 2 on the disc |

| If I didn't already have all the episode so far I'd get this (when its released in the UK). But since I do I'll just buy the compendium off amazon. |

| I hope this means that episode 5 will be available to download by December 4th, if not, then that would be a real stab in the back to those of us that have supported this series since the beginning. |

| they will not be adding a different 1000 Gamerscore to the retail version of the game. it will still have the exact same 500 Gamerscore 100 for each episode. so whoever thinks they will do that you might not want to get your hopes up because it will never happen. |

haha are they mental? $30 for the disc version, when the Arcade is $25. Usually good things come to those who wait, but in this case it's just a blatant rip-off. Who's going to spend all that money for a comic book and a game that took almost a full year to release. If I remember correctly the first episode came out in April. SMH

| The book itself (based on the price listed on the book) is $65, so you're basically buying the book and paying for a $5 game. |

| For those who are asking why the retail is $30 etc. Publishing a game costs money for the case, inlay, shipping and distribution costs etc. So that's why there is an extra $5 on top of the Arcade download release, which need none of these costs included. Also, what about the people who have no internet/access to XBL? Its ideal for these people. |

Damn. I want this. Hate XBLA games that come out on disc, because I'd prefer to have the boxed version for my shelf. Have already bought these, so guess I'm gonna have second copies. Oh well.
MS should reaaally look into something for us to do with our XBLA games - if I could gift the DLs to somebody else since I have the disc, I would be soo much happier. |

@32 They stated when the first episode came out that there would be a retail release...so this shouldn't come as a surprise. In fact, the only reason I haven't bought the episodes yet is because I was waiting for this.
Sure, the game costs $5 more for the disc version. But after I lend it to 2 of my friends, we save $45 as a group instead of each of us spending $25 to download it. I'll pay the extra $5 without hesitation.
As for the comic...if its a $40 increase in this bundle, but costs $30 online....I'm still buying this bundle. Sure....I could save a couple $ buying online, but paying $30 + shipping + waiting several days isn't worth saving a measly $5 or so after shipping costs. I'll gladly pay the couple extra $ and save the hassle. To each his own. |

#7 & #29,
Amazon's price is $35.99 for compendium #1. If you are a Prime member its free two day shipping but for me it's still a couple bucks, so there isn't much of a savings. Now if you want to save the most download the games and save another $5. If someone is like me and still has yet to buy any of the games, it may be worth the few extra bucks to get it all in one big pack. At least consumers have choice. |

To my fellow Australian (and NZ) gamers. Even if this doesn't get released here, but gets released in UK, we can just get it imported as it will be PAL and will work on our consoles. Ozgameshop.com which is a UK based site has awesome prices too and will probably be cheaper than purchasing retail here :)
I just hope you can install it completely to the HDD unlike all other XBLA compilation discs. |

| I think this is more for the hardcore fans of the walking dead, Considering trying to be the walking dead comics 1-48 is not only next to impossible now but, Extremely expensive.. As for me since I love the walking dead, I will have all 3 covers, #1 arcade that was released and these 2 that differ for the disc. Some people just love it more then others. It's not really about going to a site or a store. I know a few people that will buy it just for osmething to read on the pot and sell the game. |
