I ordered one, had no idea this was coming out anywhere as a physical release. Thanks OP!

As for the Special Edition features, according to Amazon.co.uk the disc includes cool features, as well as exclusive DLC avatar items for both the Xbox 360 and PSN versions:

• Never-Before-Seen-Art: Concept art from the Special Edition versions of each game.
• Animated Movie Storyboards: Storyboards and concept art from an Industrial Light & Magic exploration of a Monkey Island animated movie.
• Avatar Goodies: Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network download codes to outfit your avatar in the best Monkey Island gear.
• Making of webdocs and CG Trailer
• Complete director commentary with Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer and Dave Grossman

I posted this for folks who prefer having a physical disc as opposed to just the downloadable versions.

Nice! I might get this for my girlfriend for Christmas along with the Arcana Heart 3 LE.

Ah, Thanks. I'm pretty sure I already got these on steam then.

Nice deal on this. Just a heads up, there is some possibility that this will see a US release. Per the publisher, the European release is a test to see what demand is like. Assuming it sells well, they may do a US release, although obviously that could be months away or never.

PSN releases don't generally see retail releases here in the states.

True, that's why it was reported on various news websites when this released in August that if it sells well in Europe, there is a chance it would be released here on PS3 and Xbox 360 disc.

There have also been similar posts with even more specific discussions of the possibility on various adventure gaming sites. Like I said, it's possible it could still happen, but at $23, you aren't really risking much to buy it now.

We should have a thread on UK exclusives (physical vs DLC and otherwise).

This is a freaking badass release I hadn't even heard about! I LOVED the demo, but don't buy DLC. Best post on CAG I've seen in months. Thanks OP!

We do have one: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...d.php?t=285588

Yeah, I was subtlely pointing out that thread's shortcomings (even though I've used it a lot).

We need one that doesn't focus on collector's editions so much and doesn't lack titles like this. Maybe it just needs to be wikified.
