I think we all knew this was going to happen, and I'm sure many that distrust downloadable titles because they can't hide them under their mattress with their life savings are going to be thrilled that this is happening: The Walking Dead, previously only available via episodic download, is being prepped for a retail disc release.
But that's not all, for the die-hards and completionists out there, The Walking Dead will receive an elaborate GameStop exclusive collector's edition appropriately titled The Walking Dead - Collector's Edition.
The Walking Dead - Collector's Edition will feature The Walking Dead compendium One featuring cover art by Charlie Adlard that includes the first 48 issues of Robert Kirkman's comic book series, a collector's edition box with Charlie Adlard artwork, and the game disc featuring the entire first season including episodes 1 though 5.
If you just want the game minus all the extra goodies, you can get that for only $29.99. The Walking Dead - Collector's Edition, meanwhile, will run you a still-very-reasonable $69.99.

Make every choice like it's your last...
The world we knew is gone. The dead have risen to feed on the living. The living cannot be trusted.
Starving. Never safe. Looking for hope. What would you do?
The Walking Dead is a critically-acclaimed adventure horror game set in Robert Kirkman's award-winning universe. Beginning when Deputy Sheriff Rick Grimes is still in a coma, this is a new story telling the tale of Lee Everett - a man given a second chance at life in a world of the undead.
Taking an orphaned girl named Clementine under his wing, Lee must deal with true horror under the constant threat of walkers hungry for flesh... as well as other survivors, desperate enough to do anything to stay alive.
A tailored game experience - live with the profound and lasting consequences of your choices
Experience events, meet people and visit locations that foreshadow the story of Deputy Sheriff Rick Grimes

Additional details on The Walking Dead Compendium One
Featuring cover art exclusive to the Collector's Edition, this is the first 48 issues of the fan-favorite, New York Times Best Selling series collected into one massive paperback collection! Over one thousand pages chronicle the beginning of Robert Kirkman's Eisner Award-winning continuing story of survival horror- from Rick Grimes waking up alone in hospital, to him and his family seeking solace on Hershel's farm, and the controversial introduction of Woodbury despot: The Governor.
In its original digtial release on console, PC and Mac, The Walking Dead was met with acclaim from arts and entertainment critics worldwide.
Leading games publication Game Informer says Telltale's game series is, "Gripping, emotionally-charged, and completely blindsiding - The Walking Dead is one of the most talked about releases this year," while British national newspaper The Independent said that episode three, "moves the series beyond the merely great, to the downright essential." Yahoo! Games also said that it featured "...one of the most breathtaking in-game moments we've ever experienced," while The New York Times said of episode one, "...moments have more sadness and subtlety in them than other games muster in 40 hours."
We'll have more details on November's digital release date for the highly-anticipated season finale, 'No Time Left' (which will also be included on the retail disc) VERY soon, but until then, feel free to let us know if you have any questions as this season of The Walking Dead heads toward its stunning conclusion.
