Sam & Max Save the world will be released tomorrow, June 17^th, via XBLA for the very reasonable price of 1600 (£13).  Whilst that may seem expensive the XBLA release includes all 6 episodes of season 1 on the Wii & PC which would set you back a minimum of £15 for the complete collection.  The new version has been enhanced for Xbox LIVE Arcade with achievements, widescreen, HD graphic support and updates to the gameplay controls.

Sam is a six-foot dog in a baggy suit sporting a trombone-sized .44 hand-cannon, Max is a three foot “rabbity thing” with a saw blade grin and the impulsive nature of the average piranha.  Together they patrol the sticky streets of a fantastical New York City, righting wrongs, pummeling perps and ridding the urban landscape of the shifty legions of “self-propelled gutter trash” that litter their streets.

More information and screenshots after the break.

Sam & Max Save the World is a sitcom-style game with an overarching story that develops across its six episodes.  The series kicks off close to home with a trio of former child stars who propagate self-help video tapes with hypnotic qualities throughout Sam and Max’s neighborhood. Each subsequent episode takes the Freelance Police deeper into this mind control plot, from a casino run by unusually cuddly Mafioso to the White House and finally to a disturbingly blissful lunar retreat, where Sam and Max must face down the mastermind behind it all. The Save the World episodes have won a variety of awards, including a “Funniest Game” nod from GameSpot, plus “Editor’s Choice” and “Adventure Game of the Year” accolades from publications including IGN, PC Gamer, and GameSpy.
