Not bad prices at all, though a friend of mine picked up the first season of Sam & Max on DVD at Target on clearance for $5, so these options are a bit much compared to that steal. If you have a Target nearby and don't have Sam & Max S. 1 yet, you could try that first on the off chance that they have them on the clearance shelf.

Target clearances are most certainly a your-mileage-may-vary thing, though I *did* see Kingdom Hearts 2 marked down to $10 at two stores recently.

I prefer to buy direct from the publisher's website. When you buy the season from them, they send you a DVD just for the cost of shipping.
((By the way, anyone planning to get the episodes can use coupon code DPA-TJE-2YS-6XM to get the episodes of either Sam and Max or Strong Bad for $5 each. The best way to use it would be to buy one episode and then get the full price of the episode subtracted from your season purchase.
You get a DVD with all the episodes and special features, and you support the creators directly, which are big bonuses for me.

If you wanna get single episodes, you can get them for $5 each straight from telltale with this coupon code: XVN-D8B-Z25-LGA
for each person who buys one, I get a $1 dollar kickback in store credit form, so please do!

Guys, get Strongbad if you're a fan of Homestar Runner. If you're not, you should be.

Hmmm the Strong Bad price is tempting enough to have me consider installing Steam on my PC... almost.

Have to run it to play my game and it stays running in the background. I just like to have full control over my game after I purchase it, I can't stand the way steam operates. It may be good for Valve and anti-piracy but it just isn't a service for me.

I have to admit I used to feel the same way a few years ago. I was annoyed at having to run another application in the background, especially one that started as intrusive inefficient as Steam was at launch. But over the years it has become so streamlined, it is not an intrusion.
They occasionally ask to do a hardware spec survey (maybe once a year), but you can opt in or out by clicking yes or no. Steam does nothing without permission. At first I was hesitant, but there is such a community feeling to Steam that I don't mind sharing my system's specs just for bragging rights and to see where I fit with the other cutting edge hardware.
Since embracing Steam's digital distribution, I haven't looked back. I have actually re-purchased games I bought box-and-disc just so I can have them to freely download and install wherever I may be. If I'm at work and want to install UT 2004, I can do it, no cracking, carrying around my CD/DVD bible, or wasting space with massive ISO files. Launch Steam, log in, click install.
It's really amazing, Anticrawl, and if it helps at all, I'm a PC gamer (and filthy pirate) for 20 years, and I endorse it fully.
