The DVD available to order as well as the five episodes of the game, includes "making of" team commentaries, production art galleries, promotional videos and more.
Telltale are also releasing a special Deluxe package which includes the standard DVD as well as a collection of exclusive extras: a previously un-discovered Voodoo Lady card, a map from Reginald Van Winslow's collection, a piratey piece of eight coin, a drink coaster from Club 41 and a souvenir button from the Trial of the Century.

To celebrate the release, Telltale have added a bounty of new Monkey Island related items on the Store, fans can purchase these items along with their DVD orders: a full deck of the Voodoo Lady's cards, a Tales of Monkey Island Art Portfolio featuring prints suitable for framing, t-shirts, a new series of buttons and a drinking vessel for your piratey beverages!
