If you care to spoil the first 20 minutes:

It is more than decent. I have finished it two weeks ago, in one sitting, then I restarted and finished it again. It was that awesome
Sounds like Telltale redeemed themselves after a couple lackluster efforts. My Steam preorder is ready.

It would seem EU PSN is getting it this week-

I'm going to buy the PSN season pass for sure, but being a PS-Plus member there's a chance that the entire season will be offered to me for 'free', like with Sam & Max & BttF seasons.
I'm conflicted GAF !
But seriously Jake and Sean, you get my money.

Never really been one for brand loyalty, but I will be buying just because it's The Walking Dead.

Will wait for the inevitable disc release with more trophies, more content and lower price.
(see BTTF)
edit: Looks like this game comes prepared as far as trophies are concerned. The download version has only 1 trophy list, with platinum, for all the episodes.
Unlike BTTF, which first released in episodes, each with their own trophies, but then got a disc release with a different trophy list including a platinum.

Bought on Steam. I'm not too familiar with The Walking Dead but I'm digging the vibe I'm getting from the released footage so far, a noticeable and seemingly successful departure from the pretty well established style of Telltale's adventure games. And even if TT has been a bit hit or miss lately everything Jake and Sean have had a major hand in I've really enjoyed (Puzzle Agent, Poker Night, Devil's Playhouse Ep.5). Gotta support the Thumbs.
Wait what? To hell with steam too then. PSN it is.
Any pricing details for EU PSN?
EDIT: Found the answer to my question, via a link on this very page. Please ignore me.
£3.99 an episode seems fair. Wasn't thinking of buying this right away. But remembered I have about 10 pound left on my account. Since you can just buy an episode at a time, don't see any reason not to at least try the first.

I can't find it on US SEN/PSN to preorder. I assume they took the preorder down.

So how does this work for Xbox? Disc release later or only standalone episodes?

No. When it appears on the store, you have an option to buy episode 1 by itself, or the entire season for $19.99. I don't know how long it'll last though. I looked last night and couldn't find anything, so it has to come with the store update.
19.99 seems ok for me. I think I'll buy it blind and just look at how it'll turn out.

Monthly episodes like every other platform starting tomorrow. You will download a Walking Dead "hub", and from inside that buy each episode as DLC to that.

I'd really like a DVD-release.
I don't think they've announced a physical release yet, but given that it's such a popular IP it would probably be worth doing it at some point the future.
I think I heard this on a recent Giant Bombcast, but if I recall correctly the game is getting one release, with all future episodes coming as DLC for that release.

I want to buy this but I'd be pee'd if I bought it and it was offered to PS+ users for free. (I'm a PS+er)
like JP/BTTF it will get a disc based once it's finished and i am waiting for that to happen.
I hate digital downloads.

Any word on a Vita release?
So the comics are pretty good.
The tv show is... ok... we watch it not because its a good show, but because we want it to be good*.
And the game is an "interactive novel without puzzles".....
Well, you gotta be fair: it dosent look good
*i read that on cracked, and it seemed pretty spot on.

Ugh, so it's very similar to Law & Order? And here I was thinking perhaps this would have more thought put into it. I will still check it out but, if I'm displeased I'm through with Telltale.

If I only watch the TV show is this gonna spoil stuff since it seems much more akin to the comic?
The game is a prequel to the comic.
The main character is different. Both in the TV show/comic timeline the game takes place while Rick Grimes is still in a
coma.
Compared to what? If you watch the TV show it wont spoil part of the game, since the game is a new story (a prequel even), based on a new character and you only have cameos of the comic/tv show. It would actually be advisable to watch the tv show/read the comic before playing the game.
Edit:Beaten.

How do the Telltale games typically run on iOS? I'd like to have it on my iPad but if it performs poorly I'd just go with the Steam version.

Zero sleeps!!!!
I really can't wait. That IGN review actually made last nights sleep so hard. The game is sounding like it's going to be amazing. Course I loved BTTF and every season of Sam & Max so I'm sure I'm going to love this one too.

Wow cool love the show, stoked
I don't think that's gonna happen. I could be wrong though

If previous Telltale stuff is representative, about a few hours per episode.
It's a game based on one of the most popular TV shows right now, so not doing a broad physical release in the fall would be really stupid. Since there is a lot of money to be made on people who don't know XBLA/PSN is a thing or people who oddly enough refuses to buy digital stuff.
