    Yay, only a few hours to go (hopefully). I preordered today. 25 bucks for the entire season (5 games), and Puzzle Agent thrown in for free. Seems like a great deal. I just hope it doesn't disappoint.

    Is it avaliable for people who got the free first episode? I would buy it but my laptop can't even run Poker Night so I may have to wait for the PS3 version.

    @MjHealy: If you got the first episode free, you have to wait until the second episode comes out.

    @Milkman: Apparently sometime today.  But the Telltale version runs through Steam anyway and you get an extra game for free, part of the money goes to charity and you'll get a boxed DVD copy of the game when all the episodes are out (if you're willing to pay for postage).

    I don't want to nerd-out inappropriately, or be over-the-top...
    Although, that being said, I can't seem to keep still while I wait for this to download.

    Well, I played a little bit of it now and I'm really loving it.  They really nailed the style and mood of the movies and it's once again really high quality writing from Telltale. 
    It's great seeing Hill Valley in a new time period and different versions of the characters..  I especially like how it's explaining the backstory to some of the things that were left undeveloped and I can tell the hints towards possibilities for future episodes is going to keep me guessing for a while. 
     
    Mild spoilers, but there was a lot of discussion about how the DeLorean fits into the game, whether it would be an entirely new one or pulled from some other time period, so for anyone curious:

    @fetchfox: I'm sort of in the same boat.  This PC is pretty much ancient and I honestly don't have a clue if I could run the game.  I poked around a little but didn't see system requirements anywhere though I'm sure that info is listed somewhere (maybe in Steam). 
     
    I think I'm just going to stick it out and wait for the PS3 version.
