OT, I'm a bit interested in this. I haven't read the books and I want to play the Walking Dead Episodes. It would be cheaper to wait until the retail game gets cheaper and buy the compendium separately though.

The Compendium isn't $59.99. It's around $37 on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/The-Walking-De...ead+compendium

I feel like an ass for not noticing it there (and wouldn't have posted this new thread), but I'll stop short of apologizing. A separate Wii U pre-order thread led me to get my pre-order in at Walmart, so I'm thankful for that. Sometimes [I feel] things need their own thread. I actually checked the gaming forums first to see if it was posted there. You know though, pointing out that it's "MSRP" is hypocritical since you yourself posted this in the collector's thread in this very forums. Regardless, thanks for steering me there . I can admit when I've done wrong.

This.

Man that cover artwork is amazing. Already have the game on PC but I would love to own that alternate compendium.

I don't understand why the box is that big if its just the game and comic book. Is there something else not announced like a figurine? I will preorder this once I get more details, its going to be a great x-mas gift to any walking dead fan.

Steel case no boon and box for 50 maybe i buy. I got the book for 25 shipped long ago think from amazon price dip. If it was not gs i prob get anyways oh well prob be super cheap cause it lacks something that stands out.

I'm pretty sure it will go the other way, just like the DOA5 CE, and be real hard to find after the fact. (I don't think it will have the value of the DOA5 CE but I could be wrong, The Walking Dead series is just ridiculously hot right now. )

Anyhow, I really wanted this when I read the new but missed it being a GS exclusive... Now I'm not so sure.

I got it all in comic form (comic, not TPB) so I really don't need the compendium so I should just pass...

Well the comic is 1000 pages and weighs 5.3 pounds...

I will say that for as much as Publishers complain about GS killing the games industry with used sales they sure don't mind giving them exclusive shit to sell.

Too bad it isn't a LE Hardcover Compendium.

Yeah, but the comic book isn't 20 inches long and 10 inches high either. The box looks like borderlands 2 ultimate loot size.

Can't recommend the Walking Dead comic enough. If I didn't already have the trades (I'm almost caught up), I'd be in for this set. But I think I'll wait for just the regular edition.

True...it could maybe just be funny marketing. Playing with the sizes to fit the ad better.

Come back to me when its $30 at BestBuy or on Amazon.

Jking, partially, but does the standard edition come with all 5 episodes?
