Telltale Games announced the pricing for their upcoming episodic comedy adventure game Sam & Max today. After debuting on the Gametap service on October 17, the game will be available on Telltale’s website on November 1. Gametap’s subscription costs $9.95 per month, while the price for the first episode will be $8.95. Future episodes will be released through Gametap first, and then on Telltale’s website. By April 2007, gamers will be able to purchase the entire Sam & Max season from Telltale for $34.95, which will include all six planned episodes. Telltale will also release stand-alone weekly machinima (in-game movies) "shorts" to connect the gaps between episodes. These machinimas will start in December.
Pre-orders for the first episode, Sam & Max: Culture Shock, will begin later this month.
