Plus, special bonus content including never-before-released "making of" materials and your own Monkey Island avatar code: [*] Unreleased concept art from both original and SE versions of each game [*] Making of webdocs and CG Trailer [*] Full length remastered game soundtracks [*] Complete director commentary with Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer and Dave Grossman [*] ILM animated film storyboard [*] Avatar codes Don't ask why Grossmans name isn't mentioned in the scene-by-scene commentary quote, that'll be a mistake on Play.coms part. I notice Amazon.co.uk has a boxed version coming out for PS3 and 360 as well on these. Does that mean those two versions also get all this extra stuff?

Just wondered, will mixnmojo be doing a review of this collection once its released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicallyInspired Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Why isn't this coming to North America!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyntheticGerbil Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 North America hates boxes and anything resembling a hard copy. This has sort of been a trend over both console and PC games that are not big budget for the past two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udvarnoky Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 The practice of leaving North America out of retail releases of LEC adventure games has been tradition for a long time. Clearly the powers that be have sales figures that prove that the European market is a more viable one for boxed adventure games. It completely blows, but whatever. It will be easy enough for me to import and gift this to a grade school cousin of mine I'm determined to introduce Monkey Island to. Just wondered, will mixnmojo be doing a review of this collection once its released? Maybe just because you chose to wonder it aloud, we will, though it would basically boil down to an overview of the new bonuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threepwood4life Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Well the collection is out in Europe this Friday, who will be buying on first day release? I assume most will be buying the PC version which on all sites are selling for £7.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicallyInspired Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I won't be buying it at all because apparently LucasArts hates North America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandra IDV Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I won't be buying it at all because apparently LucasArts hates North America. You could import it, I guess, but yeah, it really sucks when that game you want isn't released in your region.

Udvarnoky Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I'm in the US, and pre-ordered the PC version from HMV. With shipping from the UK the total comes to about twenty bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicallyInspired Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Since when does HMV supply PC games? They certainly don't in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandra IDV Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Since when does HMV supply PC games? They certainly don't in Canada. I dunno, but they sold PC games in the HMV store I went to when I visited London earlier this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elTee Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 The game's also on eBay, although slightly more expensive than in stores. I'm really annoyed that Activision didn't send us a review copy of this, especially as LucasArts wanted to use a quote from the Mojo review in their marketing materials. Anyway, Mojo will certainly cover the bonus content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicallyInspired Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 HMV in Canada only started supporting video games a few years back. It's never ever had PC games, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sven_Q45 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Mh, it´s like the re-releases in Germany, New Zealand, Australia and Great Britain. Well it was an campaign from Activision. And Activision is not in the USA. But who understands the LucasArts of today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threepwood4life Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Collection just turned up, simple DVD case and Manual isn't much to run home about, for some reason the manual covers not just the PC keyboard layout but the 360 controller layout, no mention of PS3 controller and its only 8 pages. Mixnmojos quote is on the back of the DVD case which is great news to see. Its one installer so both SE get installed onto your hard drive and a launcher which shows you the features. Trying to get some screenshots if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabez Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Mixnmojos quote is on the back of the DVD case which is great news to see. Awesome! We wondered about that but didn't think it would happen. Can you get a photo or scan of that? It would be ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
