What platform is Psychonauts currently available for?

What platform is Psychonauts currently available for?
Psychonauts is currently available on the Xbox, Playstation 2 and PC. No version is planned for the GameCube, Mac, Linux, Unix, BeOS or whatever other operating systems people use in order to try and convince themselves that they're alternative.
Who exactly are Double Fine? I've never heard of them.
Double Fine are the development studio responsible for Psychonauts. Headed by Tim Schafer, who brought us classic games such as Full Throttle and Grim Fandango, they have been exclusively working on Psychonauts for the past several years. There is a huge range of talent in the team, many of which worked on Grim Fandango, and Psychonauts is a testament to the fact that this new studio has a very bright future.
Does Psychonauts have a purchasable soundtrack? I really like the music.
Yes, it does. You can buy the Psychonauts soundtrack, as well as a range of other awesome Double Fine and Psychonauts related goodies from the company store. The more financially motivated of you may be interested to hear that one of the Grim Fandango original soundtrack CDs, which was developed by the same composer as Psychonauts, recently sold via eBay for over $100.
Is there a demo? I want to try before I buy. It's how I operate.
There is a demo available for Psychonauts from the official Psychonauts website. The demo functions for thirty days from the point of installation, which should be more than enough time to get a good taste of what the game's all about.
I want to get my hands on some Psychonauts tools. Where can I get them?
You will find a selection of useful files in the downloads section. The most popular by far is Psychonauts Explorer, which lets you extract pretty much every type of data from Psychonauts quickly and easily.
Is there a way to view the cutscenes without actually doing it via the game?
There certainly is. All you have to do is download Rad Video Tools, which will give your system the ability to play .bik files in a featureless window. It's completely safe, and since .bik is a commonly used format it will allow you to play many other games' video files too.
