The Walking Dead Collector's Edition Detailed

The Walking Dead Collector's Edition Detailed

This Collector's Edition will eat your brains out

Written by Kendrene on 22 October 12 at 17:19 | Credit to T0X1C Z0MB1E TZ

Between a frantic struggle for survival, punctuated by zombie ambushes, we managed to bring you the news that Telltale's acclaimed point & click adventure The Walking Dead was going to be released on disc.

Many Newshounds (and respective ponies) have joined the shamblers' side since then, but the losses did not stop us from getting our hands on an additional screenshot.

A Gamestop exclusive Collector's Edition was also announced. It will include the first Compendium of The Walking Dead comic and set you back $69.99, and will only be available to those who pre-order. The regular edition will cost $29.99.

You will be able to pick up the game in stores starting December 4th. Unless the zombies get to you first, of course.

I would of loved to buy this but I already own the digital games and books. Glad they're doing it though. Maybe more people will read the graphic novels.

Actually cheaper if you just buy all 5 on marketplace since that will be 25 dollars instead of 29.99.

Damn, well, I already downloaded episodes 1-4, and just download ebook scans of the comics, so I'll pass.

I highly recommend getting the edition with the compendium, I've had vol 1 since last year and loved it, should have vol 2 from Amazon tomorrow.

The book itself is $50 and yeah it's cheaper on Amazon but that is an awesome limited edition cover to it

Saft Und Kraft said:anything is better than season 2.I just finished this off of Netflix and I actually enjoyed it.

Granted, that could just be because from the midpoint and onwards there were enough "moments" in each episode to keep me going. That and having read the first 4 Volumes of the comic, I roughly knew what to expect....and know where it's going for Season 3....

Why is it $30? Aren't there 5 episodes at $5 each? I was hoping the disc version would offer a discount.

If you haven't read the graphic novels yet, this is a damn good deal. It doesn't quite get you to the half way point of what has been written, but what it gives you is a damn good time. I haven't played the video games yet and am waiting to get this on regular disc (I already own the novels and don't see the point of getting them again).

Fingers crossed on stackable achievements but I doubt it. Why is the collectors edition so much more expensive they should offer you a blu-ray copy of the first season at that price.

BOINGoing said:Why is it $30? Aren't there 5 episodes at $5 each? I was hoping the disc version would offer a discount.Producing the disc, printing the box art, getting prime shelf space, and distributing the game all costs money.

Plus for $30 you are getting a sellable/tradeable/borrowable copy of the game.

K4rn4ge said:Actually cheaper if you just buy all 5 on marketplace since that will be 25 dollars instead of 29.99.Yes, but let's admit, most achievement hunters 100% there games and don't touch it again afterwards. With this disc, I have several options after I'm done: I can keep it for collector's reasons, borrow to friends, or sell it or trade it in. If I can get $20 on craigslist for this then essentially I paid $10, not $25 or even $30.

wbs 101 said:Why is the collectors edition so much more expensive they should offer you a blu-ray copy of the first season at that price.The book that comes with it is worth $30-$40 alone. It contains 48 issues of the comic.
