That's for a nice hardcover edition. This is paperback. A more apt comparison would be http://www.amazon.com/The-Walking-De...ead+compendium

Was just going to point that out. Also, that version is out of print, not the same at all.

Lies...if you love stories, tension, characters and making choices that feel like they matter, and zombies, you'll love this game.

IDK, I'm either right or wrong. If I remember correctly the compendium was smaller than the collected softcover volumes. I remember reading through the volumes, then switching to the compendium to finish the story and remembering the panels being slightly smaller.

The first quote is only comparing the HCs to the the single issues. There's no question the HCs are oversized.

But the paper size of the Compendium is the exact same as the single issues and the TPBs. The only way the panels are smaller is if the publisher, for some reason, shrunk them despite using the exact same paper size, which would be incredibly strange.

yeah this should have something extra like a cool statue of Lee Everett and Clementine and i would jump.

This is seriously the best game to come out in a long time. Light years ahead of everyone else when it comes to storytelling and character development. I actually cared what happened to the characters in this game, and that hasn't happened very often before. The collector's edition looks pretty sweet, but having already bought the game digitally on XBOX Live, I don't think I can justify the purchase. I do plan on buying a copy of the regular edition just to support the game though.

Anybody else think this will be super limited? Gamestop has cut off instore pickup, and the compendium weighs a little over 5 lbs on its own. I could see a lot of these being damaged in transit.

People who buy something like this must have money to burn. Send some of it my way please.

Wake me up from the sleep of the dead once this is spotted at $20.

honestly don't like the game, I mean it's kinda interesting but at the same time... meh, it's sorta like one of those books where you pick what happens next.. isn't the game as a whole $15? then this is $70? kind of a stretch.

Cancelled my order.

Entire collection was $12 over thanksgiving. The book its self bounces between $15-$35

If it had something "special" with it id have kept it to go with my Blu Ray season 2 statue (which is epic).

Don't really see the point in paying $70 for a collection when i can buy it separate for less than half that.

Wait, it was $12 on PSN or Live? I missed it? Darn...

Which is very true hence why they give you a physical copy of the source material that MSRP is $60 but on Amazon is $30 or so.

But if you don't like it then don't get it, no worries. The CE is a great pick up point for those that haven't touched the comics before and love/wanted to check out the game.

Steam and Amazon only. It hasn't dropped that low on PS3 or Xbox.

Tempted by this, but the price is too high considering I already own the game. That cover art is nice though...

All I'll say is that cumulatively, this game has some of the best storytelling in a game, period. Sometimes even superior to its source. Each part separately isn't always as great as another (the last part was a bit lacking in length, and felt slightly rushed, for instance) , but the sum total is an incredible achievement. The voice work alone (acting and direction) is miles above most of what the big developers are cranking out.

This package, however? Meh. It's... okay. They should open it up to PC players, sell it on Amazon, and include a keychain or SOMETHING at least.

Where did you see the first compendium for $15? I recently bought both compendiums for ~$30 each using a coupon at Barnes & Noble.

I love all of these things. The game was still the most boring pile of crap I've ever played through.

The fact that it is pretty much universally not just liked, but loved, by anyone who has experienced it says a lot about you as a gamer and your ignorance. I cant believe you have the balls to make a statement like that. Not everyone needs an attention span right?
